*samples of "r-r-r-r-rock on"* 
 
Chorus: 
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 playin all that half a pound 
A garment bag we 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 ain't a blue collar worker 
'cuz this thing called rhymin' no different from coal minin' 
We both on assignment to unearth the diamond 
When you start climbin' 
And then i start shinin' 
You be strugglin' and strivin' 
And they think you prime-timin' 
Matain and keep silence make note and observation 
This confrontation 
This is the daily operation 
A concentration 
Stay focused on my recitation 
'bout to reach my destination with the balls of hesitation 
Baby make the preperation 'cuz 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... 
 
Chorus: 
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 inshallah 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 damage 
Break it down with the vintage 
The innovative 
Classical b-boy image 
Collect the winners 
'cuz thats 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 caddilacs 
Chicago know we innovate 
Infiltrate virginia state 
Dc make me say your name 
Philly know we penatrate 
Georgia make us generate 
Like suns as they create the pace 
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 your getting from 
Phenomenom, '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... 
 
Chorus: 
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 inshallah 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
