Back Where I Belong lyrics

by

Redman


[Intro: LL Cool J]
Yo, yeah, aight after this particular practice run
I'ma practice both verses, after this, I want you to find a spot
That's close to when the beat drops to the rewind point, locate point
You ain't gotta be on that all night, this the soundtrack
Yo, yeah, check it
Okay, alright, huh okay

[Verse 1: LL Cool J]
The other night I was up at Farmers, politicking with some Bloods
They told me, "Yo L, in the streets you ain't getting no love
And ever since the X's and the Jiggas came out
My n*ggas ain't trying to the hear that smooth sh*t you talk about
What's up with that cat Canibus? Son played you out
Why you didn't answer back correctly, f*ck was that about?"
As I sip on some Henny, and try to explain some things
About the life of a legend, and all the drama it brings
Been gone a long time, had a lot of sh*t on my mind
I decided I don't want to reach my goal if it means losing my shine
Streets is hip-hop and I'm hip-hop, so the streets is mine
Balling as long as you been living, that's a long time
Hard to stay hungry when your pockets are so fat
You hit a hot one in every city on the map
And n*ggas keep sleeping and you keep coming back
You know better than the gat, but n*ggas still wanna clap
[Chorus: Ja Rule]
It feels so good to be back where I belong
The streets is where I belong
They had me locked down much too long
Hey hey
It feels so good to be back where I belong
The streets is where I belong
They had me locked down much too long
Hey

[Verse 2: LL Cool J]
Some say, "L that's cool, but see times have changed"
n*ggas got red bandanas, and the grill in the range
That gold sh*t is dead, n*ggas rock platinum chains
Trade O.E. for Henny, Colt 45 for champagne
Hustling n*ggas found they way into the game
Extorting all these so-called ballers with big names
And you gotta have a squad, 'cause running from Def ain't safe
I know you living good, but ain't no smile up on our face
I'm like a villain, I'm representing on my lyrics
And force feed the world, even if they don't want to hear it
As far as Canibus go, my man is hitting his ex-broad
I'm getting head from his new piece
While 20 gang-bangers applaud, you came up with that bullsh*t
Some heads sucked it up, then you dropped that garbage album
And totally f*cked it up, I coulda told ya I knew your moms
From the after-hours spot, when I used to be up in Canada
With the dreads on a black block, before you di*k rode Lost Boyz
For a ticket our to Jersey, but being the man I am
I tried to show ya mercy, I coulda told the World
The way ya label hates your guts
And how me and Wyclef, got together to set you up
And how he gave me half your budget, don't believe me look it up
Your A&R promotion n*ggas, they helped me hook it up
I hate to be responsible, for destroying your career
A one-hit wonder, huh
No wonder you disappeared, I coulda told the world
You get your lyrics from the internet
Then spit 'em word for word
Like you really a rap vet, how you take metaphors from books
And put 'em in your rhyme, and how you really from Canada
And you been fronting all this time
I heard your second album, that sh*t is garbage too
LL Cool J and I did this to you
On that note he said
"Yo L, you the man", I said peace, one love
And drove off in the Lex Land
[Chorus: Ja Rule]
It feels so good to be back where I belong
The streets is where I belong
They had me locked down much too long
Hey hey
It feels so good to be back where I belong
The streets is where I belong
They had me locked down much too long
Hey

[Outro: LL Cool J]
Yea n*gga, the jig is up, n*gga, huh ha
You know what I'm saying? All that bullsh*t you was talking
Don't mean sh*t, you finish now
I'm still the man, n*gga
The vanguard award is in my motherf*cking living room
You know what I mean? come get that sh*t, f*ck, what
MIC still on my arm, n*gga, word up
Both arms, I'ma get another one n*gga
You know what I'm saying, this LL you know how I get down
You should of known, when you did it
He probably did it to get some fame
But is this really what you want? Hahahahahahahaha
