Verse 1:
Aye, as a kid I was studying Pac and Snoop
Dr. Dre on the beats, I watched the loops
Thinking to myself this is impossible
Wonderin’ how this dude
Came up with the joints they was rockin’ to
Never heard of a MP or SP
My best bet be he better than Gillespie
It kinda stressed me when I would hit the studio
Tryna play songs from scratch ‘cause I ain’t truly know
That they was choppin’ a lot from Troutman
Until Blay dropped in with liner album
Credits, and it said it had interpolations
That word meant basically that’s your arrangement
Of previously worked out works or phrases
And here I am learning how to work my fingers
This takes nothing from Dre, you’re a genius
It only showed me that my search had taken me

Chorus:
Home
They know who you are so you can get
Home
I know who I am that’s why I’m
Home
Better know who you are so you can get
Home
I know who I am that’s why I

Verse 2:
I used to wanna be signed
To a major record label to get me shine
’til them labels let you make it in with weak rhymes
Started thinking to myself what’s the point throw up the peace sign
Then I heard certain artists couldn’t make it in
Then they blew up and now labels they wanna make amends
Could it be they were wrong about me?
I do it myself, show they were wrong to doubt me
I know what I studied buddy
The masters are classic but ask for this rap it’s puddy
I’m more than budding, I’m the rightful heir
It ain’t occur to you that what I write is rare?
If not you ain’t hip-hop regardless of your job
Or how many hits or comments on your blog
Big Daddy Kane called me a beast
At least recognize I got a lease and keys, I’m home

Chorus:
I know who I am that’s why I’m
Home
They know who you are so you can get
Home
I know who I am that’s why I’m
Home
Better know who you are so you can get
Home
I know who I am that’s why I

Verse 3:
This last song is for you to get home
Since you came to the wizard and the musical poem
I’ma tell you the truth on the regular youth
Step to me for advice that’s what I tell ‘em to do
First of all stop actin' like the label’s a god
They’re major so they put on a major facade
In fact I can easily relate ‘em to Oz
The wizard that is their whole game is to lie
See I been down the gold road
With my dog Toto
And I know those images they don’t show
Gold ropes and dope Rolls they rent that
Most those don’t own homes they rent that
Dough owned for promo give it back
Is what the majors say ‘cause they gon’ get that
You kids have what the elders only dreamed of
You just gotta believe and get your team up
‘cause you don’t need a company-ship and CDs
Start your own channel, forget they TVs
Internet radio stations they add up
Local radio on play you subtract one
You have tons of online tutorials
Go learn to edit some film, set important goals
More than those that just talk and bicker
Follow CEOs and moguls on Twitter
The wizard’s job is to explain this to you
You have the answers, you already came with the truth
Above all you need to have a mind of your own
And know that you’re already home

Chorus:
I know who I am that’s why I’m
Home
They know who you are so you can get
Home
I know who I am that’s why I’m
Home
Better know who you are so you can get
Home
I know who I am that’s why I
Home

They know who you are so you can get
Home
I know who I am that’s why I’m
Home
Better know who you are so you can get
Home
I know who I am that’s why I
