The Shoes of a World Traveler

Lyrics

[Verse 1: Promoe] 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 [Chorus] 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) [Verse 2: Supreme] 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 [Chorus] 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 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 [Bridge] Been around the world 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 [Verse 3: Cos.M.I.C] 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 [Outro] Been around the world Been around the world You always bring me back home
