travellin' man Intro: Yeah yo yo what time the plane leavin? Ahhh alright, i see you at the airport *samples of "r-r-r-r-rock on"* 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, i'm a travellin' man Movin through places, space and time Gotta lotta things i got to do God willin' i'm comin back to you My baby boo I'm a travellin' man Movin through places, space and time(space and tiiiime) Gotta lotta 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 'round the world from the wives of mc's These cats is playin all that half a pound A garment bag we snatch it down Ain't got the state but we could prob'ly run a blacker town Scenarios like this is tear jerkers For the modern mc i ain't a blue collar worker 'cuz this thing called rhymin' no different from coal minin' We both on a**ignment 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 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 that... Chorus: Memories don't live like people do They always remember you Wether things are good or bad, its just the memories Memories don't live like people do-o Baby don't forget me, i'm a travellin' man Movin through places, space and time Gotta lotta things i got to do G-d willin i'm comin back to you My baby boo I'm a travellin' man Movin through places, space and time(space and tiiiime) Gotta lotta things i got to do But inshallah i'm comin back to you Baby boo I'm leavin Verse 2: But god willin' i'll be back home To drop these heavy a** 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 haven't well least that's 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 Cla**ical 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 that's a phone call Its 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 lettin' you know that... Chorus: Memories don't live like people do They always remember you Wether things are good or bad, its just the memories Memories don't live like people do-o Baby don't forget me, i'm a travellin' man Movin through places, space and time Gotta lotta things i got to do But inshallah i'm comin back to you My baby boo I'm a travellin' man Movin through places, space and time(space and tiiiime) Gotta lotta things i got to do But g-d willin i'm comin back to you Back to you I'm leeaaavvvvinnn'! I'll be back to you I'm leeaaavvvvinnn'! I'll be back to you All over the world we go Dc all over the world we go Va all over the world we go The ?cakalaks? 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 (beat playing in background and samples of *samples of "r-r-r-rock on"*) 1-2, 1-2...all aboard!
