lyrics

I see people at the bar drinking beers saying cheers
Yappin bout the moves they gonna make
but go no wheres
I give them pounds though and wish em the best
Cause negative energy is unnecessary stress
As the positive activates I feel refreshed
Ready to collect the bounty like Bobafet
Adapted to the scene quicker than Johnny Depp
Attracted to the crowd ready to interact
Mastered the art of kickin like Ronaldinho or Maradonna
Do it to the death with honor like Che Guevera
Bare the fruits of labor off the tree the suns facing
And give back to my people
like the Bill Gates foundation
That's about as real as it gets
More real than any 24 karat diamond baguettes
People are vexed pre-occupied with violence and sex
Out to chase fast money and a pre-Madonna complex
Sun Rise, Sun Set, cause and effect
Pause for a moment, then step

I'm an aggravated fish, a flounder, traveler
Flap my fins fast don't wanna get ate
Or caught up in a net and served on a plate
Just chasing my tail, doing a figure eight
I wont bite off the bait, I got to route my escape
Jump out the water, Splash, Rotate

I save big, spend little, go global
While most people stay in debt and stay local
I want to see the world, They want to go to Sea World
And see Sea Lions clap and catch fish
I got a hundred better things to do on my wish list
Then to get my head all dizzy at Disney
Its hard to do the right thing and hold tight
When everybody's in a rush to get to a red light
The modern man got the spirit of a traffic jam
Backed up for reasons that I dont understand
I tell em let it go, They say hold it down
I want something new, they all homeward bound
They say get a grip or go homeless
As I start to weigh my two options I cant focus
I'm covered in the dirt brushed off of God's shoulders
And it's great to be a beautiful mess no one can notice

(Chorus)

I pack my suitcase up with
nothin but colors and countries
Glide off the global acces and travel humbly
Attitude fresh and brand new, never bummy
Keeping company, having a blast
without a load of money
They say relax but the sun cant chill
When the days run away like wild horses over the hills
Can't stand still brother, got to blast off
Got many more stamps to put in my passport
Playing leap frog, connecting the dots at each spot
Explore this planet rock till my feet blisters pop
Indulge in the foreign flavors most would rather not
Keep an open mind to reduce the culture shock
Travel through Peru over to Pnomh Penh
Check my brother Humble T, down in San Fran
Sorry I got to go it's been a pleasure to be friends
I promise it won't be long before we say hello again
