[mos def]
Here we go yand'all
Ge ge ge ge ge get down and get down
Ge ge ge ge ge get down and get down and itand's yours
Ge ge ge ge ge get down and get down and itand's yours
andquot;here we go there it isandquot; (run dmc sample)
Memories donand't live like people
I have to pack up my bags and leave you
When youand're gone i am longing to see
Iand'm a travellin man movin through
Iand'm leaving on a jet, when youand're gone i get so upset
Iand'm a travellin man, movin through places
Packed my bags, arranged my suitcases
I got to tie up both my shoe laces
Kiss my cheek and see me gone
Iand'm leaving, but god willing iand'll be back
Iand'm leaving, headed on the fast track
Aiyyo six in the morning, iand'm up at dawn crackin
Wash up my face and start my back packin
Get my head together for the fantastic voyage
On a fastbreak like the georgetown hoyas
Kiss my baby bye, tell my honey donand't cry
Wipe the tear from her eye, say so long then i fly
Then iand'm off into limitless space wit swift pace
Left a few gand's at the place just in case
Wit hace i get snappy, hit the corner hail a cabby
Brooklyn expressway, on the jfk
And wit no delay, so step on it dog-gonit
These fly outta-staters got the paper and i want it
The voice on percussion need no introduction
The mighty mos def on dj honda production
My jam keep you buzzin, like cash and good lovin
Iand'm stayin farm fresh, i ainand't mos def for nuttin
So if youand're in the groove let me see you move something
Youand're in the tri-state and you high stakes hunting
You wake up in the mornand' sayin andquot;must make somethingandquot;
Well i got something special to make, letand's motivate
Say memories donand't live like people
I have to pack up my bags and leave you
When youand're gone i am longing to see
Iand'm a travellin man, movin through places
Iand'm leaving, on a big jet
I got to hurry up and keep up in step
A travellin man, movin through places
Packed my bags, arranged my suitcases
I got to tie up both my shoelaces
Kiss my cheeks and see me gone
Iand'm leaving, but i wonand't be too long
Iand'm leaving, and iand'll be good while iand'm gone
Iand'm leaving *with variations*
But iand'll be back again, but iand'll be back again
Iand'm makin tracks again, step it up, my garmet bag on my back again
andquot;here we go, there it isandquot;
Yo itand's the first class mission wit first class provision
The pray and hard work results is good livin
Letand's hear it for the gettin, letand's get all that we can
Itand's important and itand's scorching so the fortune expand
Crossin borders of land, along the sands of time
I came to motivate the masses wit the standard of rhyme
Youand're understandin that iand'm (so fresh)
They know it all across the planet that iand'm (so fresh)
Mos def, takin both steps forward, these notes was recorded
The areaand's applauded, i feel so rewarded
By the grace of allah, you can shine like a star
The more you realize reality the better you are
But now iand'm swayze, three minutes and change, you know the game
Gotta skate, plenty paper to make, here come the plane cuz
Memories donand't live like people, i have to pack up my bags and leave
You
When youand're gone i am longing to see
Iand'm a travellin man, movin through spaces
Iand'm leaving, on a big jet, when iand'm gone you get so upset
Iand'm a travellin man, movin through places
Packed my bags, arranged my suitcases
Iand'm out to see some brand new faces
Kiss my cheeks and see me gone
Iand'm leaving, but i wonand't be too long
Iand'm leaving, so dry your eyes while iand'm gone
Iand'm leaving *with variations*
But iand'll be back again (5x until fade)
