The place where you were born is now the place that you 
dwell
and what you call a home others call a living hell
just because of where you live they say you're an 
object middle class down town mansion or in a project 
no matter what the cities' done has it really run 
dry
the town where my grandma grew up is where she'll 
die
we all have to put the roots down somewhere
the people that move around from year to year just 
don't care
your kids need to know that the house is a home sweet 
home to break it down the thought is detrimental to the 
dome in the brain stem where the thoughts cause the 
hesitance
but home is where you hang your hat - a.k.a. your 
residence

Residence- the place in which you dwell from a living 
hell is a residence!

The place where you grew up is just around the corner 
from the park
just too bad now that they can't go out after dark
because the kids are shooting up the town every single 
day a gallery of moving targets when you send your kids 
to play and that is sad to me in fact I give it mass 
pity
the place where you grew up as a kid is not the same 
city
the parents job is to give the kids the precedence
leave this town you need a new residence

Residence-the place in which you dwell from a living 
hell a residence.

Roots are your home don't deny
new ideas are worth a try
in regards what's wrong or right
man can do this flee or fight pride is OK
but understand no true person is superman your domain 
is future tense
your environment your residence

Residence-the place in which you dwell from a living 
hell a residence
