Talib Kweli, Anderson .Paak - Traveling Light lyrics

I come from the God body era
I come from standing on street corners
Smoking 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
About 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

Waste these niggas, son
I got a doctorate in rockin it
Pardon, we got it poppin, it's marvelous
Nigga watch it you follow a carbon copies
I'm stoppin' to intervene you're erroneous


These the phoniest rappers I've ever seen
When I take flight, I'm traveling light
That's a double entendre
For when I'm touring
Exploring 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 passing in the night
But alas you got to run into the iceberg
I'm cracking this shit in half
Traveling light
Not talking about back of the back
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
My blood hot as volcanic rock forming canary
Diamonds they find on Canary Islands
My rhymes inspired by enviroments
Of the very violent i'm the voice of a
Generation that's very silent
I stick to my convictions
Like I've been indicted
All you niggas throwing me shade
You about to get enlightened

Travel light, travel light
Traveling light, travel light
You grinding 'til the sun up
Whether it's cold murder
The pies have been cut up
Hopping over the hurdles
Just look at the stride
Life is heavy enough but you lifting me high
Huh, rather leave it behind
The legacy that you built will
Be left when you die, so
Brooklyn is changing, and so am I
I see you on the other side, travel light

Ay, I'm faster than the speed of sound
Smashing through these barriers
I'm blasting out your speakers now
Travel around the planet till I
Landin where I'm needed now we entertainers
They wanna call us leaders now
Woah, extra baggage not in the plans
I'll shop when I land
Stop for the fans, every airport
From Okinawa to Osaka, japan
Stop assuming 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 been planning out tours
With a band of outlaws i'm packing my bags
Just marijuana and magazines
Wrapping the flag around a pistol, the red
The black and the green never crashing
The grill is mean when I'm whipping machines
Dipping between all these commuters
They moving slow like they sippin the lean
Are they living the dream? Get to they office
And that computer's drifting off
Until they spit
Start to drip from the screen

Travel light, travel light
Traveling light, travel light
You grinding 'til the sun up
Whether it's cold murder
The pies have been cut up
Hopping over the hurdles
Just look at the stride
Life is heavy enough but you lifting me high
Huh, rather leave it behind
The legacy that you built will
Be left when you die, so
Brooklyn is changing, and so am I
I see you on the other side, travel light

City of broken promises
My mission is reconnaissance
It's dangerous for anybody following
That's why I take biting as a compliment
It's proof of my dominance
It's the haters' way of congratulating
Me for my accomplishments
Well, I'm so atop of this
Demolishing all the charlatans
To whisper in the ears of your congressmen
Shoving dollars in their pockets, the
More we locked up, the more they profiting
They building empires like Ottoman
Now who you wanna face? The sharks in the
Water or the snakes in the boat?
The lesser of two evils be
Fighting for fake votes
We walking through the valley of
Darkness so stay close
Need the light at the end of
The tunnel to make a toast
Raise a glass to our glorious past
We the wave of the future
Never confusing protesters for looters
Silencing Radioheads and OK Computers
Travel to Mecca like Mansa Musa so let's go
(yeah)
