Traveling Man - Mos Def

[Intro] Yeah yo yo what time the plane leavin? Ahhh alright, I'll see you at the airport {*samples of "r-r-r-r-rock on"*}

[Hook] Memories don't live like people do They always remember you Whether things are good or bad, its just the memories

Memories don't live like people do-o Baby don't forget me, I'm a travellin' man Movin through places, space and time Gotta lotta things I got to do God willin' I'm comin back to you My baby boo

I'm a travellin' man Movin through places, space and time (space and tiiiime) Gotta lotta things I got to do But God willin' I'm comin back to you Baby boo I'm leavin

[Verse 1] Well go 'head and leave The call heard 'round the world from the wives of MC's These cats is payin more than half a pound My garment bag I snatch it down Ain't got the state but we could prob'ly run a blacker town Scenarios like this is tear jerkers For the modern MC, i.e. the blue collar worker Cause this thing called rhymin' no different from coal minin' We both on assignment to unearth the diamond When you start climbin' And them eyes start shinin' You be strugglin' and strivin' And they think you prime-timin' Maintain and keep silent, make note, an observation This confrontation This is the daily operation My concentration Stay focused on my recitation 'Bout to reach my destination with no pause or hesitation Baby make the preparation cause this ain't no recreation This is Pro Ball! And we lettin you know y'all At the show y'all Doin' this for dough y'all Get the phone call And I'm ready to blow y'all 'Bout to go y'all Been a pleasure to know y'all And I'm lettin' you know that...

[Hook] Memories don't live like people do They always remember you Wether things are good or bad, its just the memories

Memories don't live like people do-o Baby don't forget me, I'm a travellin' man Movin through places, space and time Gotta lotta things I got to do G-d willin I'm comin back to you My baby boo

I'm a travellin' man Movin through places, space and time(space and tiiiime) Gotta lotta things I got to do But insh'Allah I'm comin back to you Baby boo I'm leavin

[Verse 2] But God willin' I'll be back home To drop these heavy ass bags up off my backbone Around the world with a catalog of rap songs My baby girl is walkin, been away for that long But no you haven't well least that's how it seem to me My home town is like a whole different scenery The old timers on the stoop leaning leisurely The new jacks up in the bar smokin greenery Easily taken for granted when you up in it but its sweet scented When you been down for a minute Move around city limits Break it down with the vintage The innovative Classical B-Boy image Collect the winnings Cause that's the reason that we came here This thing is not a game here The fortune not the fame here From New York to the Cakalaks Cali in the Cadillacs Chicago know we innovate Infiltrate Virginia State DC make me stimulate Philly know we penetrate Georgia make us generate Let's set a date to get the papes They celebrate to my jams in foreign lands Even your mans in Japan know who I am Minasan, like everybody out in Nippon Say ichiban, may God have well where you're getting from Phenomenon, 'scuse me that's a phone call Its the show y'all Tryin' to get this dough y'all 'Bout to blow y'all Been a pleasure to know y'all And I'm lettin' you know that...

[Hook] Memories don't live like people do They always remember you Wether things are good or bad, its just the memories

Memories don't live like people do-o Baby don't forget me, I'm a travellin' man Movin through places, space and time Gotta lotta things I got to do But insh'Allah I'm comin back to you My baby boo

I'm a travellin' man Movin through places, space and time(space and tiiiime) Gotta lotta things I got to do But G-d willin I'm comin back to you Back to you

I'm leeaaavvvvinnn'! I'll be back to you I'm leeaaavvvvinnn'! I'll be back to you

All over the world we go DC all over the world we go VA all over the world we go The ?Cakalaks? all over the world we go London all over the world we go Japan we go over the world we go Paris we go over the world we go

{*beat playing in background and samples of "r-r-r-rock on"*} 1-2, 1-2...All aboard!

To Whom it doesn't concern.

I write what I feel, I write what I like.

It's not about you, but 100% about me.

If you don't like it, I have an extensive vocab on what's foul and unlady-like.

This is my playground. 

Thank You.

Happy Me| Bubble Tea Launch

Was out and about in Greenside at a product launch for what some think is the most mundane beverage in the world. 

TEA.

I know, when I heard about it, I was also immediately bored, had thoughts of tight collared, know-it-alls blabbing about the importance of absolutely nothing, over a badly brewed, you say fresh, we all know it's stale; cup of tea.

But alas, I was met with a fresh splash of yellow and green, that whole "opening sunflower" vibe, smiling people, bubbles that don't pop, and of course the belle of the ball, the "highly" anticipated, tea.

They had iced tea, warm milk tea, cold tea, smoothies and cappuccinos, but the twist is there cool take on "fresh" ingredients, infusing tea with panacotta and jelly fragments, pearls that gently burst with delightful flavour, leaving the drinker wide-eyed and PLEASANTLY surprised at this roller-coaster ride your taste-buds has just been on.

From warm to cold, this is the perfect Sunday morning trip with friends, family, lover, imaginary friends or your dog. It's healthy, it's DELICIOUS and doesn't leave a dent in that fragile pocket ( yes, I speak for myself)

Absolutely loved the launch, with great company, and an open mind, it's a must do for any Foodie.

The "Follow Me To.." Edition.

Girl leads boyfriend across the world.

Hand in Hand.

Absolutely love it.

I find art-work like this amazing, but somewhat haunting.

As much as I know that this is a man-made piece, the notion behind it carries so much more weight.

95 percent of the sea remains undiscovered.

Perhaps a fitting location for this piece.
