| The shoes of a world traveler
|
| Dusty, busted up, dirt gatherers
|
| Comfy, trusted and worth having a
|
| Verse written about my companions
|
| Carried the weight of the world on my shoulders
|
| So the weight on my shoes must be greater and no less
|
| From bringing me along to venues and hotels
|
| And bringing me through customs with no stress
|
| Though I have to put 'em through the scan in the US
|
| Where else… who else
|
| The paranoid state of mind leave me clueless
|
| Glad on my perils I was never shoeless
|
| Through monkeys, stray dogs, r-rats and shit
|
| Russians, motorbikes, accidents
|
| Power outages for hours and for the
|
| Heat of the cold east, to the north, south, the west
|
| Shoes of a world traveler
|
| Tightly laced up or loosely fitted
|
| 'bout to break up or newly kitted
|
| Shoes of a world traveler
|
| No matter how far we go
|
| You bring me safely back home
|
| Been around the world (yeah)
|
| Cleaned up, tooth brushed, B-boys stance
|
| Still sand between my toes, traveling man
|
| Family man, grandma don’t understand
|
| Why you have to go away; |
| all these foreign lands
|
| Well I was given the chance, we simply took it and ran
|
| I’ve been wearing out soles as my dreams would expand
|
| New places, new perspectives
|
| All the dots on the map are clearly connected
|
| And for the record, fuck your sneaker collection
|
| I don’t need more kicks, need to stay fixed on the right direction
|
| I’m a student taking notes from the road ahead
|
| No nations, no borders until my death bed
|

| Been around the world
|
| Been around the world
|
| Been around the world
|
| Been around the world
|
| Been around the world
|
| Been around the world
|
| You always bring me back home
|
| No matter how far the wind carry us
|
| We’re cross country, 'cross barriers
|
| All over the geography, all roads
|
| No apologies for those stepped on toes
|
| No rest, no regrets, all confidence
|
| The Troop, your favorite rap veterans
|
| Been walking through concert doors
|
| Since '92, steady wearing out soles
|
| Been around the world
|
| Been around the world
|
| You always bring me back home |
