Samsonite Man |
Late night, I would write |
See the world through my composition, thirsty |
Stay strong in the face of adversity |
Now my rhymes took me further than I imagined |
Torin, Atlanta, Sicily, Manhattan, Staten |
Island right back to the Valley |
Just to show em how we do in central cali, my home |
On the map now, they tell me sit in the throne |
I tell ‘em I’m not concerned with the crown or the robe |
Just wanted to meet the world, become a man on my own |
And I did, now the name’s household, Santiago |
CA get hot, as I ran I hit Chicago |
It’s the heart that guides me, my mind just follows |
I go where the wind takes me |
Samsonite bag full of clothes |
Like Jack hit the road |
To the next city |
Fuck it, let’s travel the globe |
Luggage already packed |
Who knows when I’ll be back |
They say I’m a rolling stone, where I rest my head is my home |
I let it be known that I’m a Samsonite man, yeah I’m a Samsonite man |
I was reflecting where I been and realized there wasn’t nowhere |
Back home looking at life in one long stare |
There comes a time in every man’s mind he gotta get out |
Get something, bring back something, don’t sit around |
Slumped, blunt in your hand, running from what, living for what |
Parents, so you can fry they can front |
Like your peace but you keep the distance |
Cause your piece of mind is so small |
Giving the attention to y’all |
Because they listening |
Listen, I’m just one reflection |
You see me on stage and think of God reflecting |
But see I’m really just John, look my passport says so |
Folks say I’m retro and I guess so |
Bag over my shoulders no pack of clothes on the metro |
Alone again looking out the window at the road again |
Ask myself why I left home to roam |
When I’ve never been home or to Rome |
But I’m gone again |
To the fans that supported me when I was down |
Said I went Hollywood cause I don’t come around |
On the road seems like I’m always out of town |
I could even reach the globe or keep it underground |
Everyday is a journey, I’m just trying to find my way |
Left teardrops on my girl pillowcase |
My unc' said we ain’t got no time for that |
Big sis said make sure your mind intact |
It get lonely on the road don’t forget about home |
Got to know where you been to know where you going |
Everything changes, before you know it |
You in the mirror realizing you getting older |
I never thought that I would make it out the F |
Got the respect that I ain’t expect |
Last night, can’t remember where I slept |
One city at a time then it’s on to the next |
So on that note, I’mma pack my bags |
Hit the road, yeah, I’m gone |
Peace |
