Travellin' Man - dj honda, Mos Def

Travellin man

Yeah yo yo what time the plane leavin?

Ahhh alright, I see you at the airport

Memories dont live like people do They always remember you

Whether things are good or bad, its just the memories

Memories dont live like people do-o

Baby dont forget me, Im a travellin man

Movin through places, space and time

Gotta lotta things I got to do God willin Im comin back to you

My baby boo

Im a travellin man

Movin through places, space and time (space and tiiiime)

Gotta lotta things I got to do But God willin Im comin back to you

Baby boo

Im leavin

Well go head and leave

The call heard round the world from the wives of mcs

These cats is playin all that half a pound

A garment bag we snatch it down

Aint got the state but we could probly run a blacker town

Scenarios like this is tear jerkers

For the modern mc I aint a blue collar worker

cuz this thing called rhymin no different from coal minin

We both on assignment to unearth the diamond

When you start climbin

And then I start shinin

You be strugglin and strivin

And they think you prime-timin

Matain and keep silence make note and observation

This confrontation

This is the daily operation

A concentration

Stay focused on my recitation

bout to reach my destination with the balls of hesitation

Baby make the preperation cuz this aint no recreation

This is pro ball!

And we lettin you know yall

At the show yall

Doin this for dough yall

Get the phone call

And Im ready to blow yall

bout to go yall

Been a pleasure to know yall

And Im lettin you know that…

Memories dont live like people do They always remember you

Wether things are good or bad, its just the memories

Memories dont live like people do-o

Baby dont forget me, Im a travellin man

Movin through places, space and time

Gotta lotta things I got to do G-d willin Im comin back to you

My baby boo

Im a travellin man

Movin through places, space and time (space and tiiiime)

Gotta lotta things I got to do But inshallah Im comin back to you

Baby boo

Im leavin

But God willin Ill be back home

To drop these heavy ass bags up off my backbone

Around the world with a catalog of rap songs

My baby girl is walkin, been away for that long

But no you havent well least thats how it seem to me My home town is like a whole different scenery

The old timers on the stoop leaning leisurely

The new jacks up in the bar smokin greenery

Easily taken for granted when you up in it but its sweet scented

When you been down for a minute

Move around city damage

Break it down with the vintage

The innovative

Classical b-boy image

Collect the winners

cuz thats the reason that we came here

This thing is not a game here

The fortune not the fame here

From new york to the cakalaks

Cali in the caddilacs

Chicago know we innovate

Infiltrate virginia state

Dc make me say your name

Philly know we penatrate

Georgia make us generate

Like suns as they create the pace

They celebrate to my jams in foreign lands

Even your mans in japan know who I am Minasan, like everybody out in nippon

Say ichiban, may God have well where your getting from

Phenomenom, scuse me thats a phone call

Its the show yall

Tryin to get this dough yall

bout to blow yall

Been a pleasure to know yall

And Im lettin you know that…

Memories dont live like people do They always remember you

Wether things are good or bad, its just the memories

Memories dont live like people do-o

Baby dont forget me, Im a travellin man

Movin through places, space and time

Gotta lotta things I got to do But inshallah Im comin back to you

My baby boo
