Home Is Where the Heart Is

I feel the morning sun, walking to the bus stop

I got my backpack, books and my lunch—box

Let's travel back, so you can capture that

Old school image like an Ansel Adam's Hasselblad

I was on the 208, passing Castlecrag

Headphones pumping, listening to classic rap

Rocked up at school, yeah I was the misfit

Cause I had an accent, bullied by some bitch kids

But this one dude, Max, he was a friend of me

We bonded over Cube, Eddie Murphey and Public Enemy

Reciting lines, we rap and laugh in a free state

Rolling with our handicap mates, so we can be late to class

Shout out debates, we couldn't hear one teach

In the back, sharing an ear—bud each

Just waiting for lunch, when it was B—ball galore

And back then, I swear we were gonna be pro for sure

After school, I went to JP's fortress

He made beats, and that's where me and Macka recorded

See and I could given him my first beat machine to rock right

Cause we couldn't figure it out, like 'What the fuck is quantise? '

Then Tarik came over for the first time

Blowing us away, we cussed to compliment the rhyme

Like the missing piece, seeing him perform

And that's the night baby BNE was born, what a day!

'Home is where the heart is, so Hip—Hop is right here... '

Going down the road, that I know is my home

It's alright

It's okay, yeah

(Yeah, yo, yo, yeah...)

I awake feeling great while my queen's asleep

My best—friend and love is what she means to me

She pulls pranks when I least expect it

Try'na make me laugh while I'm eating breakfast

Wife—beater on, throwin' out the garbage

Realising that home is where the heart is

Take the dogs for a run in the park

A sneaky billy then we jump in the car

Check the fuel, I hope we got some

Let my baby drive, rapper's ride shotgun

Then we play fight, when we choose songs

Then we compromise, and throw a groove on

Where we go next, built another chapter

As long as we're together then it really doesn't matter, cause

We're two lovers on an open road

Where we're going brother, no—one knows

We connect, and make the world stop

I'm only half here, if my girl's not

Cruisin', hearing barks from the back

Freestyling while she laughs at my raps

We're a team, it's a dream and I'm loving it

They're only jealous cause they know can't fuck with it

It's the simple things that make the world spin

From my dogs, to my job, to my girlfriend!
