Track 23

lyrics

(Verse 1)
Radio K stickers dot my town, and I still see Brother Ali ones all around, photos and promos on telephone poles, fliers and advertisements in the wind blow slow, go into stores, swappin' loot for happiness, whether music or movies or food in packages, ear buds drown out sounds surrounding, MP3's shield me during outings, crowds in the thousands, walkin' around in a city of snowfall that's so tall it's astoundin', and Minnesota, the only place that I've seen, that can go from snow to 80 degrees in the length of a week and back to snow again, think I'll go ahead and keep my jacket out the closet and put my shorts on hold again, a hometown bulletin, this is where I'm from, Minneapolis, Minnesota, America, uh

(Chorus)
This is where I'm at, this is where I'm at, and this is where I came from, it's the place where I write, another day in the life, my thoughts, I just had to say some, yeah, this is where I'm at, this is where I'm at, and this is where I came from, it's the place where I write, another day in the life, a song, I just had to make one, uh

(Verse 2)
Gettin' off the bus, comin' back from school, kickin' through the slush in the afternoon, then I see a Subway, and that'll do, 'cause I didn't have lunch and I'm famished, dude, then it's back to the, solitude of my room to meditate like Buddha in front of a computer, log online and check my favorite pages, peruse the news and see what's the latest, and I'm so happy television's on DVD, so much more to pick and put, on my TV screen, watchin' season after season no matter the season's greeting, hibernating in the summer when school time is fleeting, not a care to be had and I'm laughin' and havin' the time of my life, put it in the rhymes that I write, sometimes the everyday things can be alright, I want more, but I'm still thankful for my life, 'cause

(Chorus)
