[Mos Def]
|
Here we go y'all
|
Ge ge ge ge ge get down, and get down
|
Ge ge ge ge ge get down, and get down and it's yours
|
Ge ge ge ge ge get down, and get down and it's yours
|
"Here we go, there it is" (Run-DMC sample)
|
|
Memories don't live like people
|
I have to pack up my bags and leave you
|
When you're gone I am longing to see
|
I'm a Travellin Man, movin through
|
I'M LEAVING, on a jet, when you're gone I get so upset
|
I'm a Travellin Man, movin through places
|
Packed my bags, arranged my suitcases
|
I got to tie up both my shoe laces
|
Kiss my cheek and see me gone
|
I'M LEAVING, but God willing I'll be back
|
I'M LEAVING, headed on the fast track
|
|
Aiyyo six in the morning, I'm up at dawn crackin
|
Wash up my face and start my back packin
|
Get my head together for the fantastic voyage
|
On a fastbreak like the Georgetown Hoyas
|
Kiss my baby bye, tell my honey don't cry
|
Wipe the tear from her eye, say so long then I fly
|
Then I'm off into limitless space wit swift pace
|
Left a few G's at the place just in case
|
Wit hace I get snappy, hit the corner hail a cabby
|
Brooklyn expressway, on the JFK
|
And wit no delay, so step on it dog-gonit
|
These fly outta-staters got the paper and I want it
|
The voice on percussion need no introduction
|
The Mighty Mos Def on DJ Honda production
|
My jam keep you buzzin, like cash and good lovin
|
I'm stayin farm fresh, I ain't Mos Def for nuttin
|
So if you're in the groove let me see you move something
|
You're in the tri-state and you High Stakes hunting
|
You wake up in the morn' sayin "must make something"
|
Well I got something special to make, let's motivate
|
|
Say memories don't live like people
|
I have to pack up my bags and leave you
|
When you're gone I am longing to see
|
I'm a Travellin Man, movin through places
|
I'M LEAVING, on a big jet
|
I got to hurry up and keep up in step
|
A Travellin Man, movin through places
|
Packed my bags, arranged my suitcases
|
I got to tie up both my shoelaces
|
Kiss my cheeks and see me gone
|
I'M LEAVING, but I won't be too long
|
I'M LEAVING, and I'll be good while I'm gone
|
I'M LEAVING *with variations*
|
But I'll be back again, but I'll be back again
|
I'm makin tracks again, step it up, my garmet bag on my back again
|
"Here we go, there it is"
|
|
Yo it's the first class mission wit first class provision
|
The pray and hard work results is good livin
|
Let's hear it for the gettin, let's get all that we can
|
It's important and it's scorching so the fortune expand
|
Crossin borders of land, along the sands of time
|
I came to motivate the masses wit the standard of rhyme
|
You're understandin that I'm (so fresh)
|
They know it all across the planet that I'm (so fresh)
|
Mos Def, takin both steps forward, these notes was recorded
|
The area's applauded, I feel so rewarded
|
By the grace of Allah, you can shine like a star
|
The more you realize reality the better you are
|
But now I'm swayze, three minutes and change, you know the game
|
Gotta skate, plenty paper to make, here come the plane cuz
|
|
Memories don't live like people, I have to pack up my bags and leave you
|
When you're gone I am longing to see
|
I'm a Travellin Man, movin through spaces
|
I'M LEAVING, on a big jet, when I'm gone you get so upset
|
I'm a Travellin Man, movin through places
|
Packed my bags, arranged my suitcases
|
I'm out to see some brand new faces
|
Kiss my cheeks and see me gone
|
I'M LEAVING, but I won't be too long
|
I'M LEAVING, so dry your eyes while I'm gone
|
I'M LEAVING *with variations*
|
But I'll be back again (5x until fade)
