Travellin` Man Lyrics

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 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 ?dissertation? 

 '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 in time 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 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 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 

 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 

 Innocent, 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 in time 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
