Traveling Light - Talib Kweli, Anderson .Paak

I come from the god body era

I come from standing on street corners

Smoking blunts outta white owls for 40s

Building and destroying about the suns and the planets and the moons and the

stars

About the nature of man

About knowledge where some people don’t understand

And you had

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

We got it poppin, it’s marvelous, nigga watch it

You follow a car but can’t be stop it to intervene

You’re erroneous, these the phoniest rappers I’ve ever seen

When I take flight, I’m traveling light

Double of times, 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, 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 looked at me high

Huh, rather leave it behind

The legacy that you deal 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 landing where I’m needed now

We entertainers, they wanna call us leaders now

Woah, it’s not in the plans

Sharp 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 looked at me high

Huh, rather leave it behind

The legacy that you deal 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!)
