Mobb Deep - Nothing Like Home lyrics

rate me

(feat. Littles)

[Prodigy talkin']

Yeah man..you know...2002 man...approachin' 2003 man...where we takin'

this man?...where we headed for the future man...whats the resolution?

[Verse 1: (Prodigy)]

Wealth, health, and happiness nigga

keep me from runnin' 'round clappin' these niggas

sometimes you gotta just handle your business

fuck it, it's on me, rounds of shots for niggas

punk, I wake up everyday to cathedral cielings

jumpin' out my bed, wall to wall marble and pillars

livin' like the pharoah Tut, I'm blessed with life

so I breathe deep and give praise to the most high

then I, get fresh for a new day

I eat broccoli for breakfast and smoke my trees

turn on the flat screen to C-Span

see the elite strength, attorney general slowly gettin' bills passed

prophecies comin' to pass

we gotta survive this shit dun, it's nothin' to laugh at

I hops in the V, grabs the heat and I stash that

I'm in tune with Doc, Pac, and Huey, it's a rap.

[Chorus (both)]

I traveled the World, and been alot of places

believe me dog, ain't nothin' like home

and if you want somethin' done, you gotta do it yourself, you got drama?

who's gonna clap that chrome?

nobody like you, somebody like me

when death I'm ready for it in Threes

and me off point? c'mon now nigga please

I'm paranoid, you know I'm burnin' those trees

[Verse 2: (Havoc)]

Saw alot of niggas die, some niggas survived

and those that did did it by the skin of their hide

dodgin' that long ride, the four-fifth aimed at 'em

and knew to fall back when them slugs came at 'em

on the real, for me to be here tellin' ya'll this

is like dice, then I rolled that Four-Five-Six

and never lost ever since, though I took that big pinch

my Brother passed away, 24/7 I was bent

drunk in my pain, alot of friends went and then came

and those that stayed understood a nigga pain

and for a niggas problems had noone to point the blame

I was my own worst enemy goin' against the grain

somewhere along the line them pieces had to get grabbed

all this money plus family, shit wasn't that bad

all you little shorties runnin' 'round like shits sweet

just remember these words from the M-O-double-B.

[Chorus]

[Verse 3: (Littles)]

I kiss my finger, cross my heart, I'ma make it out these dark days

whether together or we part ways

I got a promise to that boy tatted on my arm

three strong, man, the heat's still lukewarm

who can you trust when your friends wanna pop your safe?

you let him stash in your place, now you watch his waist

vision the days, hear the ghost whisper

dogs we left in the past, brought back now here with us

cross my heart, let the haze linger

pour out a little liquor, knowin' God took a good nigga

Thousand dollar slippers skirt from the scene he was just a worker, dog,

you were his every dream

I kissed his face like I never knew 'em

it was me, once upon a time when life was ruined

now the mink rope chain sparklin'

jumpin' out of bed, Thousand dollar slippers slidin' huggin' the

carpets.

[Chorus]
