[Black Thought:] Yeah, Struck by the luck of the draw Real life preservation what I'm hustlin' for My name Black Thought the definition of raw I was born in South Philly on a cement floor We had nothin' at all, I had to knuckle and brawl They swore I'd fall or be another brick in the wall Another life full of love that lost That's silly, this Philly Y'all really ain't stoppin' the boy With the pen like Willy on top of the hall Pure soul what the city most popular for Hear the tones that will ease you Smooth as Bunny Sigler's soundtrack Keepin' your head boppin' and all And it's somethin' in the water though /where I come from They used to sing it on the corner yo Where I come from Makin' somethin' outta nothin' Because everybody 50 cents away from a quarter Where I come from Yeah, the streets ain't timid but I feel at home in it Gotta see a couple people I ain't got at in a minute Yeah, you can take a brother outta South Philly Can't take it out of him really I forever represent it and it's [Chorus:] Oh It's been a long, Long Time Since I been back around the way It's been a Long Time Let it spin, let it spin, let it spin Since I been back around your way It's been a Long Time Long Time, Long Time. [Peedi Peedi:] Live and direct, I don't need no mic check Remember mommy told me Peedi you ain't write that It started in the bathroom takin' a dump Listenin' to Ultramagnetic, Ego trippin' you won't Pressure my word, I'm the urban vision of you chump Stomped on a different ground, sound second to none Synthesizers tweet to improvise your feet I calculated every lyric to arrive on beat It's free, come get high on me Before a 9 millimeter shell hit my pelle pelle in the P Yeah, it's somethin' in the water though Where I come from They used to sing it on the corner though Where I come from Makin' somethin' out of nothin' Because everybody 50 cents from a quarter Where I come from It's just a natural reaction for crack to make it happen Let the pen ink sink into the paper of the pad Think back, hen I was younger Ghetto could have took me under Young Peedi can't mess with North Philly Never had, you don't know about me You ain't stroll my streets I look familiar, I feel ya Long time no see [Chorus:] Oh It's been a long, Long Time Since I been back around the way It's been a Long Time Let it spin, let it spin, let it spin Since I been back around your way It's been a Long Time Long Time, Long Time. [Black Thought:] Uh, clap somethin' but whatever you clap Clap to the record spinnin' while I'm takin' you back To the top paper era, baby dig on that Picture the pool room where the money getters was at And street people with the feathers in the cap of their bossolino Pullin' paper in as if it's a small casino I was a young boy sweepin' the floors and runnin' to stores But all those old heads would talk to me though About the way to clutch the Eagle on a buck and tuck And if I'm down how to get back up, just survival kid And it's the struggle worldwide, I'm positive Shit the ghetto might as well be the Gaza Strip You know where all of the monsters is You don't see no consciousness Street walkers I'm comin' back to where the core of the problem is We on the job again, y'all know what time it is [Chorus:] Oh It's been a long, Long Time Since I been back around the way It's been a Long Time Let it spin, let it spin, let it spin Since I been back around your way It's been a Long Time Long Time, Long Time.
