Jersey Lyrics - Queen Latifah

(Queen Latifah) 

Yo what's up this is Queen Latifah in the house 

Definetely representin Jersey on the love love 

Coolin' in the county; shoot (?) 

But damn I miss home 

[Chorus 4X] 

I can't. forget New Jersey 

(Verse 1: Queen Latifah) 

When I think of home I think of a place where theres no over-flowin 

And all my family and peeps I knew when I was growin 

Mommy and daddy made me proud to in Owens 

So for me to keep goin, I would become 

Her eminental royal highness 

The Queen Latifah; no doubt; one of New Jersey's finest 

So, said it all 

Get up on all of my own 

Cause Jersey's what I think about when I think of home 

Don't let know one get close to you except the chosen 

Stick with the ones who meant the most to you 

when you were broke and blue, that's how fam do 

That's how you stay true around these snakes 

that freakin' smile when they hate you 

I'm quick to take the ride down for in-town 

(Just another day living on a down) 

My experience legit, my rhymes is on hit 

It's mad truth to the room where we the shit; I can't forget

[Chorus] 

(Verse 2: Queen Latifah) 

I used to work at Burger King but after takin orders 

I used to take the path to Latin Quarters across the waters 

Where I learned to do the Who, yo, I couldn't stop 

I brought it back around the way to show the peple on my block 

Teacher, teacher, tell me how you do it 

It looks so simple like that there's nothin to it 

So, we meet in Irvington and after school I run 

To the Willobrook Mall, there was Solamon 

I had a talent for getting up for gear 

A petty thief, small time crook of the year 

But I chilled cause I had bigger dreams than to steal 

And Ramsey came for me and Patchy to put our voices on a reel 

And I could hear myself on the radio 

"45 King Special Red Alert Show" 

Cause that's what life was all about to me 

All E-E flavor you did it, represent Jersey

(Verse 3: Queen Latifah) 

I think about my mom and my brothers when I'm all swoll 

Shock, Kim, when I'm all swoll 

My baby sister. when I'm all swoll 

Hostan, when I'm all swoll 

Ill-Town, when I all swoll 

Jill-Town, J.C, when I'm all swoll 

(?) to (?) so on, when I'm all swoll 

Recognize the whole mama soul 

We got Naughty 

In another words we got Nicky 

We got Redman, the Order Facts and Whitney (?) 

Bruce Springsteen, and a house ah blacks 

Shaquille O'Neal, oh he'll catch rack 

Tisha Campbell, Jerry Lewis, Tony Bennett 

Back spin, or spin it, 

Thursday peppermint and I'm in it 

Shag do's, I does no fo's in the spot 

Cause them peeps is my peeps and my back is got 

Nuf' respect to your burough, your block 

You're black; I love to see us move as a flock 

Unscrapped, against each other 

No body armor 

Nobody harms a hair on a head, everything calmer 

We ghetto stars and fools 

We paid the dues 

We made the blues 

So come on with the come on 

And get down with the get down 

I'm down with my hometown sound 

[Chorus]
