lirik lagu year of the ox – home

[intro: lyricks]
there’s something about seein’ an old road, y’know what i mean?
like your old house or something
just automatically the flood – the floodgates open
the nostalgia… you just remember all the memories man
i remember mine like yesterday for real

[verse 1: lyricks]
in 1985 in the physical, i arrived
my father was a hustler, a caddy inside garage
with a pack of marlboro lights with little richard on the side
he b-mped that donnie osmond and sinatra on the rise
man i would, dance in the kitchen
he would marinate the kimchi
quiz me, gave me a test like: “richard, quickly, tell me what’s missing”
i’m like: “wait, you didn’t put the salted shrimp in right?”
he couldn’t admit it, but i knew that this impressed him, right
as an adolescent, i’d mess with my father’s records
old korean, probably find a good soundtrack for westerns
he had this one vinyl from the 80s called ‘the stunt’
i’d never heard it, but it had this naked lady on the front
he’s like: “rick… i was 27… i was 27 when i packed up all my bags and left to fly to america
you should’ve seen the way they stared at us
long road ahead of us – language, money, different culture, etceteras
look, your dad was no chump, i had h-ll of a hard life
you laugh cause i can’t say my ‘l’s and my ‘r’s right
no matter how bad that my broken engrish was
i still put it all on my back, open a business up
for what? for you [?]
you and your sister fool
that’s why i beat your -ss with a broom and -ssist at school
i sweat every day for your future son and this is true
not until you have your own future son will this h-t you too”

[hook: donye’a g]
they say home is where the heart is
so i guess i, i guess i been on this far too long
can’t forget where we started
this is love, [?]
we been all around the world
and i know my way around
and it’s all because of home
we been all around the world
and i know my way around
and it’s all because of home
so i guess i been on this far too long

[verse 2: jl]
walk to my pop’s store – a hip-hop store
as a kid i started to watch more, picked up on a lot more
the customers talked different
sipped on malt liquor and walked different
the music blasting through the speakers left me awe stricken
naw listen, i didn’t know what it was doin’
but me, being around it all had started to influence my growing mind
i started listening to the lyrics, and for sure in time, i just started to rap ’em like a growing vine
see i remember when the wu came on the scene
look but for me, the wu-tang, first came on a tee
and nas was the model for the brand willie esco
it’s silly, but i heard of his clothes before i heard his flows
the streets of norfolk had a unique feel
it was grimy, but somehow i found the beauty still
i used to sit and watch it like it was a movie reel
and then go walk a block to harry’s, grab a two piece meal
