10 A Cee

(álbum: Mental Releases - 1995)

There's a little place, a place I call my home
A tiny little domicile that I call my own
We dwell, we vibe, we mosh in pits of tribe
Do prayer in the layer to thwart opposing sides

It took a second I reckon but now I know I'm on sprung
Never thought it ever could happen she got a brother in love
Cause I never wanna leave her, it's simple cause I need her
With gold teeth and Jheri curls, country as she wanna be
But you see she's become apart of me inside of me
Talking like her even like the way she flaunt her poverty
Bust this, she got a Cutlass sitting on them thangs
Jacked up in the front of you know she got that Quad thump
Peep this I neva creep or keep her on tha down low
Take her all around yo, but brotha's looking jealous so
Keep a nine close by in case a busta wanna try
Takin from me my lady love, Miss Tennessee

There's a place, a place, a place called 10-A-Cee
I don't know how it happened, some how it captured me
A place, a place, a place called 10-A-Cee
I don't know how it happened, some how it captured me

The T, the E, the double N, the E
The quest ends with S, we floating on the SEE
Roots are planted deep, native born of sheep
Americans of Afric' using rhyme as a theatric
Nothing but much love leaks out through my pores
For this great state with activator all on the floors
But I watch my back, rednecks they lurk in corners
Driving white pick-ups, beer gives them the hiccups
Brothas always brag on who town got the melee
But more fools die in Tennessee than in LA
So who say where they dwell swells and is all that
I'm at the place to be in, the initials are TN

There's a place, a place, a place called 10-A-Cee
I don't know how it happened, some how it captured me
A place, a place, a place called 10-A-Cee
I don't know how it happened, some how it captured me

There's a little place, a place I call my home
A tiny little domicile that I call my own
We dwell, we vibe, we mosh in pits of tribe
Do prayer in the layer to thwart opposing sides
There's a little place, a place I call my home
A tiny little domicile that I call my own
We dwell, we vibe, we mosh in pits of tribe
Do prayer in the layer to thwart opposing sides

Fisk University, Tennessee State you see
Meharry's in da house I'm proud to see my people reach
For da top don't stop getting what dis country need
Mo of us hitting books education is the key
But back to my main point, no I will never front
I'm straight outta Nashville 'cause that's where my love is
Coming from Jacksonville but bro you know how it is
Florida is cool and all and that's where my heart is
It ain't where you from it's where you at
So you can get with this 'cause it's super catha-fat
Preaching and teaching my claim to fame in this rap game
True is what I claim to dang da dang diggy diggy
Now I think it's time for me to go so I'm jetting
Neva regretting leaving home cause Tennessee's in love with me

There's a place, a place, a place called 10-A-Cee
I don't know how it happened, some how it captured me
A place, a place, a place called 10-A-Cee
I don't know how it happened, some how it captured me
There's a place, a place, a place called 10-A-Cee
I don't know how it happened, some how it captured me
A place, a place, a place called 10-A-Cee
I don't know how it happened, some how it captured me

There's a place, a place, a place called 10-A-Cee
I don't know how it happened, some how it captured me
A place, a place, a place called 10-A-Cee
I don't know how it happened, some how it captured me
