Here we go y'all
Get down and get down
Get down and get down
A-1, Bus-ta
Say memories don't live like people
I have to pack up my bags and leave you
When you're gone I am longing to see
I'm a travelling man, moving through
I'm leaving on a jet
When you're gone I get so upset
I'm a travelling man, moving through places
Pack my bags, arrange my suitcases
I got to tie up both my shoelaces
Kiss my cheeks and see me gone
I'm leaving (but I won't be too long)
I'm leaving (and you know I'll be back)
I'm leaving (get down and get down)
Hey yo, six in the morning, I'm up at dawn packing
Wash up my face and start my backpacking
Get my head together for the fantastic voyage
On a fast break like the Georgetown Hoyas
Kiss my baby bye, tell my honey don't cry
Wipe the tear from my eye, say Salaam from the fly
Then I'm off into limitless space with swift pace
Left a few G's at the place just in case
With haste I get snappy, hit the corner, hail a cabby
Rubbing expressway, on the JFK
And with no delays so step on it doggone it
These fly out-of-staters got the paper and I want it
The voice on percussion, need no introduction
The mighty Mos Def on DJ Hon the production
My jam keep you buzzing, like cash and good loving
I'm staying farm fresh, I ain't Mos Def or nothing
So if you're in the groove, let me see you move something
You're in the tri-state and you're high stakes hunting
You wake up in the morn' saying must make something
Well I got something special to make, let's motivate
Say memories don't live like people
I have to pack up my bags and leave you
When you're gone I am longing to see
I'm a travelling man, moving through places
I'm leaving on a big jet
I got to hurry up and keep up pace, step
A travelling man, moving through places
Pack my bags, arrange my suitcases
I got to tie up both my shoelaces
Kiss my cheeks and see me gone
I'm leaving (but I won't be too long)
I'm leaving (and I'll be good while I'm gone)
I'm leaving
But I'll be back again, but I'll be back again
I'm making tracks again, step it up
My garment bag on my back again
Here we go, there it is
Yo it's the first class mission with first class provision
The plan, hard work, results is good living
It's the airport again, let's get all that we can
It's important that it's gorgeous so the fortune expand
Crossing borders of land, along the sands of time
I came to motivate the masses with the standard of rhyme
You're understanding that I'm (so fresh)
They know it all across the planet that I'm (so fresh)
Mos Def taking bold steps forward
These notes was recorded, the area'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
And now I'm swaze, three minutes and change
You know the game, gotta skate
Plenty paper to make, here come the plane, 'cause
Memories don't live like people
I have to pack up my bags and leave you
When you're gone I am longing to see
I'm a travelling man, moving through places
I'm leaving on a big jet
When I'm gone you get so upset
I'm a travelling man, moving through places
Pack my bags, arrange my suitcases
I'm 'bout to see some brand new faces
Kiss my cheeks and see me gone
I'm leaving (but I won't be too long)
I'm leaving (so dry your eye while I'm gone)
I'm leaving
But I'll be back again, I'll be back again
I'll be back again, I'll be back again
