Yo. There’s a lot of places I like to call “Home Away From Home”

Minneapolis, Chicago

It’s a long drive

But you know you’re close when you start to see the skyline

All my life I've been known to keep movin' like rolling stones

But no matter how far I roam, there's just no place like home

I keep my eyes on the horizon. I've arrived in the city

Buildings risin' up like Titans. I've arrived in the city

(Yea) Now from the time that I record 'til I'm smilin' with awards

I'm reminded where it started, writin' rhymes while I was bored

How I grinded from the floor, to headlinin' to perform

Finally drivin' on them tours, signing vinyls in the stores

Climbin' higher towards makin' hip hop sensation my occupation

And bein' a household name in the general population

The road to riches is viscous it takes a lot of patience

For dealin' with complications often with no compensation

The painstaking process, lacin' up tracks in my partner's basement

The constant pacin' and contemplatin' how to conquer stations

The most rewardin' part is travelin' all across the nation

And seeing the skylines complimented by constellations

Each destination is motivation for me to write these epic poems

Every stepping stone is a treasure trove

There's no better feeling than that final stretch of road

Where I'm headed, no one ever knows, feels like I'm never home

All my life I've been known to keep movin' like rolling stones

But no matter how far I roam, there's just no place like home

I keep my eyes on the horizon. I've arrived in the city

Buildings risin' up like Titans. I've arrived in the city

(Yeah) I'm on a track with Haiku

But I need more than seventeen syllables

And three lines to rhyme through

I'm from around the way of 10,000 Lakes

Represent MN even when I'm out of state

In a city that's synonymous with indie rap

So I'm carryin' the flag and just want to give it back

Legends put us in the map. Now I want the whole globe

They gave us Atmosphere. I'm shootin' through the Ozone

Aimin' for the stars, to another nebula

I'm trying to be a god, even though I'm secular

And the reflection of the lights are in my retinas

Dreams of marquees, my name in the center of

But no, I'm not scratchin' this logo off your eight gig iPod

I'll never leave you Mini Apple-less

Winning where I'm livin'. Never catch these L's

One love, from the TC to STL. Come on

All my life I've been known to keep movin' like rolling stones

But no matter how far I roam, there's just no place like home

I keep my eyes on the horizon. I've arrived in the city

Buildings risin' up like Titans. I've arrived in the city

Chicago, Illinois. Livin' on top, I kill the noise

Of ignorant snobs who live in a box

And want to just stop and kill our voice

The politicians are hot. They’re acquitting the cops

And you’re docile, feeling coy

But I ain’t submitting. I’m walking the distance

I’m rocking with God to fill the void

The city has allowed me to be livin' on the bounty

From the music and removing any ignorance around me

Feeling lifted and so gifted, ain’t no ignorance I’m shouting

The glory up to God, and my adrenaline is pounding

Chicago has given me nourishment

Bravado, I’m gettin' encouragement

I’m not going to limit this. I won’t be hitting this pothole

I’ll miss it and curve it

Any person getting in the way of earning fetty

Herbs-a-plenty, and I’m getting (?)

‘Cause with the words I burn and murder many

And yes I get it in like (?)

(?) John Hancock

You will obey us when I rhyme that hot

American and great, I had to share and innovate

Because I’m married to the game I had to tie that knot

I’ll say it ‘til the whole fucking world hear me

I can make it in this game if Cubs can win the World Series

All my life I've been known to keep movin' like rolling stones

But no matter how far I roam, there's just no place like home

I keep my eyes on the horizon. I've arrived in the city

Buildings risin' up like Titans. I've arrived in the city
