guitar chords lyrics
Travellin man
Yeah yo yo what time the plane leavin?
Ahhh alright, I see you at the airport

Memories dont live like people do

Whether things are good or bad, its just the memories

Movin through places, space and time(space and tiiiime)
Gotta lotta things I got to do
But God willin Im comin back to you

1:
Well go head and leave
The call heard round the world from the wives of mcs
These cats is playin all that half a pound
A garment bag we snatch it down
Aint got the state but we could probly run a blacker town
Scenarios like this is tear jerkers
For the modern mc I aint 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 recitation
bout to reach my destination with the balls of hesitation
Baby make the preperation cuz this aint no recreation
This is pro ball!
And we lettin you know yall
At the show yall
Doin this for dough yall
Get the phone call
And Im ready to blow yall
bout to go yall
Been a pleasure to know yall
And Im lettin you know that...
Memories dont live like people do
They always remember you
Wether things are good or bad, its just the memories
Memories dont live like people do-o
Baby dont forget me, Im a travellin man
Movin through places, space and time
Gotta lotta things I got to do
G-d willin Im comin back to you
My baby boo
Im a travellin man
Movin through places, space and time(space and tiiiime)
Gotta lotta things I got to do
But inshallah Im comin back to you
Baby boo
Im leavin
2:
But God willin Ill 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 havent well least thats 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
Minasan, like everybody out in nippon
Say ichiban, may God have well where your getting from
Phenomenom, scuse me thats a phone call
Its the show yall
Tryin to get this dough yall
bout to blow yall
Been a pleasure to know yall
And Im lettin you know that...
Memories dont live like people do
They always remember you
Wether things are good or bad, its just the memories
Memories dont live like people do-o
Baby dont forget me, Im a travellin man
Movin through places, space and time
Gotta lotta things I got to do
But inshallah Im comin back to you
My baby boo
Im a travellin man
Movin through places, space and time(space and tiiiime)
Gotta lotta things I got to do
But g-d willin Im comin back to you
Back to you
Im leeaaavvvvinnn!
Ill be back to you
Im leeaaavvvvinnn!
Ill 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
(beat playing in background and samples of

1-2, 1-2... all aboard!
