Travellin’ Man

Travellin’ Man lyrics

[Intro]

Yeah, yo, yo, what time the plane leavin'?
Alright, I'll see you at the airport
Rock, rock on (Rock, rock on)

[Pre-Chorus]

Memories don't live like people do
They always remember you
Whether things are good or bad, its just the memories
Memories don't live like people do-o
Baby don't forget me,

[Chorus]

I'm a travellin' man
Movin' through places, space and time
Gotta lotta things I got to do
But God willin' I'm comin' back to you
My baby boo
I'm a travelin' man
Movin' through places, space and time (space and time)
Got a lot of things I got to do
But God willin' I'm comin' back to you, baby boo
I'm leavin'

[Verse 1]

Well, go 'head and leave
The call heard around the world from the wives of MCs
These cats is payin' more than half a pound, my garment bag, I snatch it down
Ain't got the state, but we could probably run a blacker town
Scenarios like this is tear-jerkers
For the modern MC, i.e. the blue collar worker
'Cause this thing called rhymin' no different from coal minin'
We both on assignment to unearth a diamond
When you start climbin' and them eyes start shinin'
You be strugglin' and strivin' and they think you prime-timin'
Maintain and keep silent, make note and observation
This confrontation, this is the daily operation
My concentration stay focused on my recitation
'Bout to reach my destination with no pause or hesitation
Baby, make the preparation 'cause this ain't no recreation
This is pro ball and we lettin' you know, y'all
At the show, y'all, doin' this for dough, y'all
Get the phone call and I'm ready to blow, y'all
'Bout to go, y'all, been a pleasure to know y'all
And I'm lettin' you know

[Pre-Chorus]

Memories don't live like people do
They always remember you
Whether things are good or bad, its just the memories
Memories don't live like people do-o
Baby don't forget me,

[Chorus]

I'm a travelin' man
Movin' through places, space and time
Got a lot of things I got to do
But insh'Allah I'm comin' back to you, baby boo
I'm a travelin' man
Movin' through places, space and time (Space and time)
Got a lot of things I got to do
But insh'Allah I'm comin' back to you, baby boo
I'm leavin'

[Verse 2]

But God willing I'll 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 walking, been away for that long
But, no, you haven't, well, at least that's how it seem to me
My hometown is like a whole different scenery
The old timers on the stoop leaning leisurely
The new jacks up in the park smoking greenery
Easily taken for granted when you up in it
But it's sweet scented when you been down for a minute
Move around city limits, break 'em down with the vintage
The innovative classical B-boy image
Collect the winnings 'cause that's the reason that we came here
This thing is not a game here, the fortune, not the fame here
From New York to the Cackalacks, Cali in the Cadillacs
Chicago know we innovate, infiltrate Virginia State
DC make me stimulate, Philly know we penetrate
Georgia make us generate, let's set a date to get the papes
They celebrate to my jams in foreign lands
Even your mans in Japan know who I am
Mina-san, make everybody out in Nippon
Say ichiban, may God have well where you're getting from
Phenomenon, excuse me that's a phone call
It's the show, y'all, tryin' to get this dough, y'all
'Bout to blow, y'all, been a pleasure to know y'all
And I'm letting you know

[Bridge]

I'm leavin'
I'll be back to you
I'm leavin'
I'll be back to you (Over the world we go)

[Outro]

DC, all over the world we go
VA, all over the world we go
The Cackalacks, all over the world we go
London, all over the world we go
Japan, we go, over the world we go
Paris, we go, over the world we go, uh
