Was walking down the street one day
Think to myself outloud, thinkin bout what I should do yea yea
I'm getting kinda older now, I got some things to figure out
Gotta figure out my next move. I heard a voice say
I remember you, you were that quiet kid back in high school
You were that one man crew, I ain't seen you in a while where you been at?
Yea I remember you to, I had a crush on you back in high school
I doubt you ever knew, I ain't been here in a while I just got back.
I been travelin round the world try'in to get my knowledge up. Well that's cool.
Bring my name step my family up. Well alright, Yo...So Where you been?
Well I started off in South of Qatar were I cruised on sands of Arabian men
Took a dip in the Persian Gulf to clear my mind and cool me off
I had never been to land where the Vikings lived, So I jumped in a plane and it
Took me there
I had never seen eyes so blue until I went to Denmark with my whole crew
Amsterdam, Hamburg, Sweden I been there. Manila, Seoul, Bali I seen it
...I walked across the wall of china to. Been to 47 states and I ain't through.
And I ain't even talked Brazil and Peru. Or Argentina where they tango like they
Do.
"Damn you been everywhere"

We stood there for a while and talked, Sharing things that we had seen
Decided to get some food (Yo you hungry)
The t.v in the background played as we waited bout another being shot down...my
Friend just dropped their head and said.

I'm tired of this hommie (yea me to)
Its worldwide hommie ( sun kissed skin)
Still at the bottom hommie ( never changed)
How the f*ck we live in the greatest nation of all,
Blacks in cells numbers swell like fresh bread
As profits swell as the gap of equality increase as well (They said)
Well maybe this is needed?
Oppression is a catalyst, the step before change
Damn... well aint that a shame, after all we done been through some people ain't change I'm glad that.
