Artist: Talib Kweli f/ Anderson .Paak Album: Radio Silence Song: Traveling Light Typed by: Cedmaster3K [Intro: Talib Kweli] I come from the God body era I come from standin' on street corners Smokin' blunts, out of White Owls with 40s Building and destroying about, the suns and the planets and the moons and the stars About the nature of man, without knowledge, wisdom and understanding And you had to show and prove, and you had to be right and exact Voulez-vous, rendezvous, coucou le poopoo - come on! Yeah Chris, yeah, I like that right there, yeah! Hah, come on! Yeah KAYTRANADA, classic, timeless [Talib Kweli] Waste these niggas son, I got a doctorate in rockin' it Pardon, we got it poppin', it's marvelous, nigga watch it You followin' carbon copies, I'm stoppin' to intervene You're erroneous, these the phoniest rappers I've ever seen When I take flight, I'm travelin' light, that's a double entendre For when I'm tourin', explorin' outside the genre Illuminate when I grabbin the mic, it's so bright it'll blind you Yeah I'm back with a friendly reminder We're two ships that're passin' in the night, but alas You 'bout to run into the iceberg, I'm crackin' this shit in half Travelin' light, not talkin' 'bout packin' a bag First I get back in the lab, then I hit the road, I'll be back in a +Flash+ I'm Barry Allen mixed with Harry Allen (come on) My blood hot as volcanic rock formin' canary diamonds they find on Canary Islands My rhymes inspired by environments of the very violent I'm the voice of a generation that's very silent (shhh) I stick to my convictions like I've been indicted All you niggas throwin' me shade, you 'bout to get enlightened [Chorus: Anderson .Paak] Travel light, travel light Travelin' light, travel light You're grindin' 'til the sun up Whether it's cold murder, the pies have been cut up Hoppin' over the hurdles, just look at the stride Your life is heavy enough but you liftin' me high~! Huh, rather leave it behind The legacy that you built will be left when you die, die Brooklyn is changin' and so am I I'll see you on the other side, travel light [Talib Kweli] Ayy, I'm faster than the speed of sound Smashin' through these barriers, I'm blastin' out your speakers now Travel around the planet 'til I landin' where I'm needed now We entertainers, they wanna call us leaders now Whoa, extra baggage not in the plans, I'll shop when I land Stop for the fans, every airport from Okinawa to Osaka, Japan Stop assumin' I live in your time zone Jetlag is my reality, the road is my home, I roam Your downfall is you should probably get out more I be plannin' out tours, with a band of outlaws I'm packin' my bags, just marijuana and magazines Wrappin' the flag around a pistol, the red, the black and the green Never crashin', the grill is mean when I'm whippin', dippin' between all these commuters, they movin' slow like they sippin' the lean Are they livin' the dream? Get to they office and that computer's driftin' off until they spit start to drip from the screen [.Paak] YEAHHHHHH! [Chorus] [Talib Kweli] Travel the city of broken promises, my mission is reconnaissance It's dangerous for anybody followin' That's why I take bitin' as a compliment, it's proof of my dominance It's the haters' way of congratulatin' me for my accomplishments Well, I'm so atop of this demolishin' all the charlatans To whisper in the ears of your congressmen Shovin' dollars in their pockets, the more we locked up, the more they profitin' They buildin' empires like Ottoman Now who you wanna face? The sharks in the water or the snakes in the boat? (which one?) The lesser of two evils be fightin' for fake votes (come on) We walkin' through the valley of darkness so stay close We need the light at the end of the tunnel to make a toast Raise a glass to our glorious past (cheers) we the wave of the future Never confusin' protesters for looters Silencin' Radioheads and OK Computers Travel to Mecca like, Mansa Musa so let's go [.Paak] YEAHHHHHH!
