Lyrics

I come from the God body era I come from standing on street corners Smoking blunts outta 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 Voulez-vous rendez-vous cou-cou beaucoup Come on! Yeah Chris, yeah, I like that right there, yeah! Come on! Kaytranada, classic Waste these niggas, son I gotta 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 be back in a flash Barry Allen mixed with Harry Allen My blood hot as volcanic rock formed in 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 to 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 lifted at me high Huh, rather leave it behind The legacy that you built will be never let down (so) Brooklyn is changing, and so am I I see you on the other side Travel light 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 Jet lag 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 to 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 lifted at me high Huh, rather leave it behind The legacy that you built will be never let down (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 Charlotters 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!)
