10-A-Cee lyrics

[Chorus 1]

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

[Verse 1]

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

Talkin' like her even like the way she flaunt her poverty

Bust this, she got a Cutlass sittin' 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 lookin' jealous so

Keep a nine close by in case a busta wanna try

Takin from me my lady love, Miss Tennessee

[Chorus 2]

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

[Verse 2]

The T, the E, the double N, the E

The quest ends with S, we floatin' on the SEE

Roots are planted deep, native born of sheep

Americans of Afric' usin' rhyme as a theatric

Nothin' 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

Drivin' 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

[Chorus 2]

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

[Chorus 1]

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

[Verse 3]

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 hittin' 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

Preachin' and teachin' 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

[Chorus 2]

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
