(Queen Latifah)
Yo what's up this is Queen Latifah in the house
Definetely representin Jersey on the love love
Coolin' in county; shooting Living Single
But damn I miss home

Chorus 4X
I can't.. forget New Jersey

Verse 1: Queen Latifah
When I think of home I think of a place
where there's no over-flowin
And all my family and peeps I knew when I was growin
Mommy and daddy made me proud to be an Owens
taught me to keep goin,straight up but never knownin' I would become
Her eminental royal highness
The Queen Latifah; no doubt; one
of New Jersey's finest
So, set it off
Get up on all of my own
Cause Jersey's what I think about when I think of home
don't let know one get close to you except the chosen
Stick with the ones who meant the most to you
when you were broke and blue, that's how fam do
that's how you stay true around these snakes
that freakin' smile when they hate you
I'm quick to take the ride down borden-town
(Just another day living on a down)
My experience legit, my rhymes is on hit
it's mad truth to the rumor were
the shit; I can't forget

Chorus

Verse 2: Queen Latifah
I used to work at Burger King but after takin orders
I used to take the path to Latin
Quarters across the waters
Where I learned to do the Wop, yo, I couldn't stop
I brought it back around the way to
show the peple on my block
Teacher, teacher, tell me how you do it
It looks so simple like that there's nothin to it
So, we meet in Irvington High Halls and after school I run
To the Willowbrook Mall, boosting with Sulomon
I had a talent for getting up for gear

But I chilled cause I had bigger dreams than to steal
And Ramsey came for me and Patchy to
put our voices on a reel
And I could hear myself on the radio
"45 King Special Red Alert Show"
Cause that's what life was all about to me
All E-P Flavor Unit, representin' Jersey

Chorus

Verse 3: Queen Latifah
I think about my mom and my
brothers when I'm all swoll
Shakim, when I'm all swoll
My baby sister. when I'm all swoll
Holsted, when I'm all swoll
Ill-Town, when I all swoll
Chill-Town, J.C, when I'm all swoll
Irvington Newark and so on, when I'm all swoll
Recognize the home of my soul
Hey..
we got Naughty
the Lords we got Nicky
We got Redman, the Order Facts and Whitney, (???)
Bon Jovi, then balbovi, Bruce Springsteen,
Das Efx and a house ah blacks
Shaquille O'Neal, oh he'll catch rack
Tisha Campbell, Jerry Lewis, Tony Bennett
Back spin, or spin it,
Thursday peppermint and I'm in it
Shag do's, I does no fo's in the spot
Cause them peeps is my peeps and my back is got
Nuf' respect to your burough, your block
you're black; I love to see us move as a flock
Unscrapped, against each other
No body armor
Nobody harms a hair on a head, everything calmer
We ghetto stars and fools
We paid the dues
We made the blues
So come on with the come on
And get down with the get down
I'm down with my hometown sound

Chorus
