Travellin’ Man Lyrics
(Hook (Mos Def's hook)
I'm a travelin' man, movin' through places space and time
Got a lot of things I got to do
But Lord willin' I'm comin' back to you, baby boo
I'm a travelin' man, movin' through places space and time
Got a lot of things I got to do
But God willing I'm coming back to you, baby boo
(Verse 1)
They say ambition will be the death of man
When i walk that way i'm on the best of the path
Step out the door put one step on the sidewalk
Watch these guys talk while moving they eyeballs
Hidden marvel rhymes chewy like bitten caramel
Ahead of my prime best of my kind but not far though
Don't startle or ignore we can't stand no malfunction
Look at your character acting like you stand for something
Radiate positivity throughout all of chicago
If we could all just be based it's possible
Art crafts art class never could pass that
We had chemistry and blew up alert hazmat
I'm a travelin' man, movin' through places space and time
Got a lot of things I got to do
But Lord willin' I'm comin' back to you, baby boo
I'm a travelin' man, movin' through places space and time
Got a lot of things I got to do
But God willing I'm coming back to you, baby boo
(Verse 1)
They say ambition will be the death of man
When i walk that way i'm on the best of the path
Step out the door put one step on the sidewalk
Watch these guys talk while moving they eyeballs
Hidden marvel rhymes chewy like bitten caramel
Ahead of my prime best of my kind but not far though
Don't startle or ignore we can't stand no malfunction
Look at your character acting like you stand for something
Radiate positivity throughout all of chicago
If we could all just be based it's possible
Art crafts art class never could pass that
We had chemistry and blew up alert hazmat
Evil lurking evil working god is looking at me
Move small too tall thank god is looking past me
Tell me to move and i'm happy then i'll gladly
But tell me to believe in something not happening
(Hook)
(Verse 2)
Never see the work in progress behind the scenes
We all carry burdens heavy enough to hinder the knees
Buckle down just like a tightly worn belt
You number one the trophy not yours yet
That's your neck your check your fourth bet
You're broken inside have you asked for more yet
Bouncing above the people who despise me
A deeper meaning but they listen to what they eyes see
An oddysee best believe this a masterpiece
Proved myself this month this year and last week
People think to believe like it's a bad thing
But i fly broken like i have a bad wing
Clap your hands thank the heavens you have a life
Thank whoever rules for what meal you had tonight
No need for hatred guys i'm here to preach the right
I'm here to spread good to you and teach not to fight
Move small too tall thank god is looking past me
Tell me to move and i'm happy then i'll gladly
But tell me to believe in something not happening
(Hook)
(Verse 2)
Never see the work in progress behind the scenes
We all carry burdens heavy enough to hinder the knees
Buckle down just like a tightly worn belt
You number one the trophy not yours yet
That's your neck your check your fourth bet
You're broken inside have you asked for more yet
Bouncing above the people who despise me
A deeper meaning but they listen to what they eyes see
An oddysee best believe this a masterpiece
Proved myself this month this year and last week
People think to believe like it's a bad thing
But i fly broken like i have a bad wing
Clap your hands thank the heavens you have a life
Thank whoever rules for what meal you had tonight
No need for hatred guys i'm here to preach the right
I'm here to spread good to you and teach not to fight
