LYRICS

Verse 1
New York was the spot in which I was born
emerged in the night and gone by the morn
swore I was right where I made all my friends
thought I knew life but this only begins
I came to california when I was an infant
and I never did get why I felt distant,
 something missing, but it missed me, til my trip back home,
20 fu**** years, finally I know
The west coast raised me but the east coast made me
sh** is amazing how it starts as a baby 
I'm made of, coast to coast flavor
training every day to be a legend in the making

Chorus
You never know 
what you're made of
until you go
to where you came from
after the road
of confusion
you gon be home
and conclude
it Starts at the root

Verse 2
Back again just the second arrangement
looking in the past gave me better inspiration
and it's all entertainment
but either way what I say aint somthin that I made up
Starts at the root Now you know why I'm straight up, 
If you don't say what you're tryna say, I don't care what you' saying
In LA they fray away unless you make it or you paid always using 2 faces 
the real one's stuck up in the savings,
but still one's steady tryna gain,
claiming then flaking, fake it til you make it
 but when times outdated only truth remains.

Chorus
You never know 
what you're made of
until you go
to where you came from
after the road
of confusion
you gon be home
and conclude
it Starts at the root

Verse 3
DMC, to BIG , and back to Heavy D
Public Enemy, to Immortal Technique
Wu Tang, Nas, Mos Def Talib Queli
Jay Z 50 all the way to Joey B,
it's clear that the real is in then the east lyrically
and hearing these peeps is a way to make you think
and it's kinda why I speak like I'm losing all my teeth
but bet you didn't know Pac was born in NYC.


Chorus
You never know 
what you're made of
until you go
to where you came from
after the road
of confusion
you gon be home
and conclude
it Starts at the root.

New York. Wassup!
