Traveler

Ladies and gentlemen, good evening
Welcome on board Flight 411
This is your captain speaking
We are presently flying at thirty thousand feet
On our flight from Kuala Lumpur to Bahrain
We hope you enjoy your flight

I put on my headphones
And I look out the window
Staring in silence, high in the clouds
Flying to somewhere that I've never been to
Yesterday I was in class
I couldn't imagine a
Day that I'd leave everything that I've ever known
Now I'm on a plane
And I'm just a passenger
But it was not my decision so
It don't even matter
My parents they told me to pack it up
Cause the family had to go live with my dad
Cause he had to work
It seemed like a whole other planet but
Maybe I was just mad that I
Had to leave behind all of my friends
This wasn't part of the plan
Cause where we're going
Nobody knows who I am
Nobody knows who my name is
They speak a language I don't understand
So I don't know how will they possibly know what I'm saying?
But I don't know what's gonna happen yet
And I'm not here by accident
There's more to the story
That time will unravel
But these are the thoughts
From the mind of a traveler
If I knew that I only had half of the story
And there is a whole other half that I'd
Never imagined would happen like
That's where I'll find the passion for
Writing some words in a pattern and
Eventually work on my craft and I
Would learn to use rap as a channel
For me to adapt through music and that's why
I'm here in the first place
I'm grateful
What my folks did
Was they gave me the tools to pursue
What I wanna do
Even if I knew I don't deserve it
I could only overcome adversity through encouragement
And I needed to grow as a person
Because I owe them everything on this earth
And that will solely be my purpose
And they
Always remind me that
We are the sum of everyone
That we hang around with
The people that we're spending our time with
And the people that
We're living our lives with
In my case
Well there's only five other people that I
Will tell you without whom I could not survive
This is a group that you want by your side
We do not divide
Nothing could ever diminish the fire
Till the end of the line
I know that words could never suffice
The love and respect that I have for you guys
Cause I know that I
Will owe my life to each one of you
So I wanted to
Do my best to use
The entire rest of this song
To address every one of you
And I'm starting with you man Abood
I know I won't say this enough but I should
Ain't nobody else on this planet like you
And you chose to be here in the group
So we know the truth
And I know that everybody knows
You wear the symbol that embodies hope
You can win on anybody's court
In a thunderstorm
You're the light that's on
When nobody's home
I know that a lot will be said
Things I will want to get off of my chest
But I will not stop
And I'm not gonna rest
Till I share with you
All of the thoughts in my head
Till I'm laying on a hospital bed
When I will need you
You will always be there
I'll be the one you will always look out for
Like with Em and Dre
I'll Need A Doctor
And Manny man
You always keep it a hundred
Any man looking at danger
They run away from it
But you show me that I can
Put my mind into something
And anything's mine if I want it
There ain't nothing more that I could say
Cause when I got you in my corner
I gotta say it's a good day
And Ali forget all the haters
Don't even pay no attention
They can say what they say but
At the end of the day
The bond that you share with your brothers is sacred
Cause you're in the presence of greatness
I promise you'll make it
Just like LeBron with the Lakers
Or Messi, a champ in the making (Ali)
Cause who else is named after the greatest?
And Hadi man you know the real me
I'll always remember the lessons we
Learned on the journey
All the memories
Will forever be with me when there will be
A time when I need a reminder
In case I get blinded by things in my life
But I want you to know that I'm still me
It's the least I could be as your real bro, Hilmi
Yo Naim
My brother man
Remember what I said
On Ten Steps Ahead?
About how if I wanna make it right again
Well right now I might really need to find a pen
But this time to list everything we've ever been through
Because of you, I'm alright again
You're the reason I get up on my feet
In my time of need
You convince me to try again
This time you inspired me to write again
About the things in my life that I might have been
Taking for granted cause
We'll meet different kind of friends
And enemies that I fight against
And the ones that I had to make amends with
Cause I won't make you decide on which side I'm in
You carry me through the dark
Because you're Peter Parker
So I'll never need a Spider-Man
But this time I ain't doing things differently
Cause I won't ever change what you did for me
If the things that will happen are meant to be
I guess that's what they meant by it's destiny
If it means it'll always be history
And if this is the way to a victory
Then maybe this is it for me
So I hope one day you will hear this eventually
One day we'll be living on the same street
One day we'll be singing on the same beat
One day we'll realize that
You and I both were always gonna be on the same team
And when things ain't going well
For me and I'm going through hell
You'll be there to embrace me
One day I'll have nowhere to stay
When there's no other way
One day you will save me
One day we'll be working on the same things
One day we'll be winning on the same games
We have faith in the guys who will never be replaced and
We don't need them other fake friends
But one day we'll be split in different places
And then
Things will never be the same since
This long game really needs a bit of patience
But I promise one day it'll make sense
Cause one day we'll have all the conversations
We'll have been through all the combinations
And there's nothing that we've never faced
But there's still one day I will never walk away from
Cause one day when we talk about our days
With the ones who will stay past our generation
I can't wait when that day comes
Cause one day
We get to say that it's Day 1

But none of this ever happened yet
And I'm not here by accident
There's more to the story
That time will unravel
But these are the thoughts
From the mind of a traveler
