Travellin' Man - Remastered

Yeah, yo, yo, what time the plane leavin'?
Ah, alright, I'll see you at the airport

I'm leavin' on the next plane
I don't know when I'll be back again
Kiss me and smile for me
Tell me that you'll wait for me
Hold me like you know I'll never go
Even though you know I will

I'm a travellin' man
Movin' through places, space and time
Got a lot of 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 time)
Got a lot of things I got to do
But God willin' I'm comin' back to you, baby boo

I'm leavin', well, go 'head and leave
The call heard 'round the world from the wives of MCs
These cats is payin' more than half a pound
My garment bag, I snatch it down
Ain't got the state, but we could probably run a blacker town

Scenarios like this is tear jerkers
For the modern MC, i.e. the blue collar worker
'Cause this thing called rhymin' no different from coal minin'
We both on assignment to unearth a diamond

When you start climbin' and them eyes start shinin'
You be strugglin' and strivin' and they think you prime timin'
Maintain and keep silence, make note and observation
This confrontation, this is the daily operation

My concentration stay focused on my recitation
'Bout to reach my destination with no pause or hesitation
Baby, make the preparation 'cause 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

I'm leaving on a jet plane
I don't know if I'll be back again
Kiss me and smile for me
Tell me that you'll wait for me
Hold me like you know I'll never go
Even though you know I will

I'm a travellin' man
Movin' through places, space and time
Got a lot of things I got to do
But In sha'Allah I'm comin' back to you, baby boo
I'm a travellin' man
Movin' through places, space and time (space and time)
Got a lot of things I got to do
But In sha'Allah I'm comin' back to you, my baby boo

I'm leavin', 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 it's sweet scented when you been down for a minute
Move around city limits, break it down with the vintage
The innovative classical b-boy image
Collect the winners 'cause that's 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 Cadillacs
Chicago know we innovate, infiltrate Virginia state
DC make me say your name, Philly know we penetrate
Georgia make us generate, let's set a date to get the papes

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 you're getting from

Phenomenon, 'scuse me that's a phone call
It's 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

I'm leavin' on a jet plane
I don't know if I'll be back again
Kiss me and smile for me
Tell me that you'll wait for me
Hold me like you know I'll never go
Even though you know I will

I'm a travellin' man
Movin' through places, space and time
Got a lot of things I got to do
But In sha'Allah I'm comin' back to you, baby boo
I'm a travellin' man
Movin' through places, space and time (space and time)
Got a lot of things I got to do
But God willin' I'm comin' back to you, back to you

I'm leavin'
I'll be back to you
I'm leavin'
I'll be back to you (over the world we go)

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

One, two, one, two all aboard
