PHILLY I'M HOME
GROWING UP AS A CHILD, GOING CRAZY RUNNING WILD
BUT I HAD TO GET A GRIP ON LIFE
STOP DOING WRONG, START DOING RIGHT
I CAN RECALL MY MOMA'S VOICE
SCREAMIN OUT THE BACK DOOR CALLIN OUT MY NAME
PULLING ME OFF THE STREETS
AWAY FROM THE DRUGS AND THE GANGS
THEN IN MY TEENAGE YEARS
I SEEMED TO STRAY AWAY FROM ALL MY PEERS
MUSIC BECAME MY WAY OF LIFE
HELPED ME FORGET ABOUT THE PAIN AND STRIFE
I BECAME SOMETHING, SOMETHING FROM NOTHING
I BECAME SOMETHING, SOMETHING FROM NOTHING
I BECAME SOMETHING, SOMETHING FROM NOTHING
I BECAME SOMETHING, SOMETHING FROM NOTHING
POPA GOT UP EARLY
WORKED FROM DAWN TO DUSK
SEE EVERYTHING POPPA WORKED FOR
IT WAS ALL BECAUSE OF US
HE TAUGHT US THAT THE DOLLAR
WAS SOMETHING I HAD TO EARN
WITH THE BLESSING FROM THE ONE ABOVE
THRU MISTAKES THAT YOU WILL LEARN
I BECAME SOMETHING, SOMETHING FROM NOTHING
I BECAME SOMETHING, SOMETHING FROM NOTHING
I BECAME SOMETHING, SOMETHING FROM NOTHING
I BECAME SOMETHING, SOMETHING FROM NOTHING
Ah - LORD HAVE MERCY I'M SO GLAD I CAME
SOMETHING FROM NOTHING
IS BETTER THAN BEING NOTHING FROM SOMETHING
BACK IN THE DAY
WHEN WE USED TO PLAY
ALL OUT IN THE STREETS
U USED TO MESS WITH ME
CAUSE I WORE BOBO SNEAKS
BUT LITTLE DID YOU KNOW
WHAT I'D GROW UP TO BE
I'M DEDICATED, EDUCATED
MY MUSIC SET ME FREE
AND NOW I'VE COME BACK HOME
TO HELP OUT MY COMMUNITY
MY MOM AND POP INSTILLED
THAT'S THE WAY IT SHOULD BE
HELP ANOTHER BROTHA TO GROW
YA KNOW, DON'T BE SLOW
JUST ACT LIKE YOU NIZO......
I BECAME SOMETHING, SOMETHING FROM NOTHING
I BECAME SOMETHING, SOMETHING FROM NOTHING
I BECAME SOMETHING, SOMETHING FROM NOTHING
I BECAME SOMETHING, SOMETHING FROM NOTHING
I BECAME SOMETHING, SOMETHING FROM NOTHING
I BECAME SOMETHING, SOMETHING FROM NOTHING
I BECAME SOMETHING, SOMETHING FROM NOTHING
I BECAME SOMETHING, SOMETHING FROM NOTHING
