The Traveler - Guru, Donald Byrd

Somethin to motivate to

Somethin to motivate you

The more travellin I do

The more wise I become

I’m the traveler, I go place to place

They see my face, then I’m gone

I’m the traveler, I go place to place

They see my face, then I’m gone

Yes the traveler, always on the move (keep it movin baby)

Makin power moves, devourin the grooves

Goin, city to city with the illest force (aiyyo)

Spannin the glove like Wild World of Sports

I go to Japan, with plans to slam (aight)

I go to Spain and England, with knowledge to bring them

(crazy knowledge) I go to Holland, and then to Germany

You better learn to see I’ll be here for eternity (a long time)

I go to Switzerland and travel to Sweden

And give the real heads jewels that they needin (droppin jewels)

I go to Italy and also to France

With the chance to enhance the dance (c'mon)

I tore up mad spots doin shows all over

I wreck the stage, with East coast flavor (East coast)

But I go out West too, and build with my peoples (true)

Some can’t conceive how I do what I do

I’m the traveler, I go place to place

They see my face, then I’m gone

I’m the traveler, I go place to place

They see my face, then I’m gone

I’m the traveler, I go place to place

They see my face, then I’m gone

I’m the traveler, I go place to place

They see my face, then I’m gone

Around the world and back yo, the steelo is fat yo (huge)

From blocks to continents, with mad impact (SMASH)

I got it like that, ringin bells in the street

Midwest to Down South, I turn it out, kapeesh?

(you understand?)

Wherever I go, they give it up (uh-huh)

They wanna see me on the stage when I rip it up (rip it up)

Uptown, downtown, Crooklyn, Queens, Strong Island

Bronx, Shaolin, New Jersey, the brothers know I’m worthy (right)

Got to get the dough, got to run the show

My mental pops the topics when it’s time to flow (word)

With expertise, I release more techniques than 1200

Style’s more than a 100 (mad styles) yes I run it

More game than a little, MC’s dribble from the mouth when I hit

(uh-huh) The fuse is lit, makin your whole crew split

No myth (word), yeah

I’m whippin evil everywhere, ratification severely severe

(aight) So clearly you hear

Original aspects unlimited, significant thoughts

That make me different than (different than)

Most men who play the edge too close

And while they fall, I fill halls coast to coast (everywhere)

The dressing rooms I roam in is the scent of blessings (boom)

Soon as we rockets to the next spot to wreck em

I put the pure in the store, I got the cure (c'mon)

Like a doc-tor, switchin from planes, to helicopters

MC’s with your fake scowls, you smell foul, so I drop ya

(you stink) And then I walked away with your propers (allathat)

Of course I had stop ya

See now you lost your spot ta.
