The Traveler
Guru ft. Donald Byrd Lyrics

Somethin' to motivate to
Something that inspires us

Somethin' to motivate you
Something that inspires you

The more travelin' I do
As I travel more

The more wise I become
I become more knowledgeable

I'm the traveler I go place to place
I am a traveler who moves from place to place

They see my face then I'm gone
I visit a place briefly and then leave

Yes the traveler always on the move (keep it movin' baby)
As a traveler, I am always moving, and that motivates me

Makin' power moves devourin' the grooves
I am assertive and confident, and I take control of any situation

Goin' city to city with the illest force (aiyyo)
I travel from one city to another, using my skills and abilities

Spannin' the globe like Wild World of Sports
I travel all over the world, experiencing different cultures

I go to Japan, with plans to slam (aight)
I visit Japan, with the intention of making an impact there

I go to Spain and England, with knowledge to bring them (crazy knowledge)
I visit Spain and England to share my knowledge with the people there

I go to Holland, and then to Germany
I visit Holland and Germany as part of my travels

You better learn to see I'll be here for eternity (a long time)
It is important to recognize that I will continue to travel and make an impact for a long time to come

I go to Switzerland and travel to Sweden
I visit Switzerland and Sweden as part of my travels

And give the real heads jewels that they needin' (droppin' jewels)
I share valuable knowledge and insights with people who are open to receive them

I go to Italy and also to France
I travel to Italy and France as part of my journey

With the chance to enhance the dance (c'mon)
I take the opportunity to add to the art of dance in these countries

I tore up mad spots doin' shows all over
I performed in many different places, delivering memorable shows

I wreck the stage, with East coast flavor (East coast)
I bring a distinct East coast style to my performances, making an impact on the audience

But I go out West too, and build with my peoples (true)
I also travel to the West coast, and collaborate with my peers there

Some can't conceive how I do what I do
Some people don't understand how I am able to accomplish what I do

Around the world and back yo, the steelo is fat yo (huge)
My travels have taken me all around the world, and my reputation is well-known everywhere

From blocks to continents, with mad impact (SMASH)
From the local communities to entire continents, I make a significant impact everywhere I go

I got it like that, ringin' bells in the street
I have the charisma and talent to make an impression on people in any setting

Midwest to Down South, I turn it out, kapeesh? (you understand?)
I am able to make an impact on people from different regions and cultures

Wherever I go, they give it up (uh-huh)
I have earned respect and admiration from people wherever I travel

They want to see me on the stage when I rip it up (rip it up)
People are eager to see my performances and witness my skills

Uptown, downtown, Crooklyn, Queens, Strong Island
I have made an impact on different neighborhoods and cities in New York

Bronx, Shaolin, New Jersey, the brothers know I'm worthy (right)
I have earned respect from people in different areas, including the Bronx, Shaolin (Staten Island), and New Jersey

Got to get the dough, got to run the show
I am driven to succeed and make a name for myself

My mental pops the topics when it's time to flow (word)
I am able to come up with creative ideas and content when I am performing

With expertise, I release more techniques than twelve hundred
I am highly skilled and proficient in my craft, and I offer a lot of techniques and strategies

Style's more than a hundred (mad styles) yes I run it
I have a versatile and unique style that sets me apart from others, and I am in control of my craft

More game than a little, MC's dribble from the mouth when I hit (uh-huh)
I am more skilled and talented than most other MCs, and they struggle to match my abilities

The fuse is lit, makin your whole crew split
When I perform, I bring a lot of energy and excitement, causing an explosive reaction from the audience

No myth (word), yeah
My impact is not fictional, it is real and significant

I'm whippin evil everywhere, ratification severely severe (aight)
I am combatting negativity and evil wherever I go, and my efforts are significant

So clearly you hear
It is evident and obvious that my impact is significant

Original aspects unlimited, significant thoughts
I bring unique and innovative perspectives to my craft and my travels

That make me different than (different than)
My unique strengths and skills set me apart from others

Most men who play the edge too close
Other people who are involved in similar pursuits might take unnecessary risks

And while they fall, I fill halls coast to coast (everywhere)
While others might fail or struggle, my success takes me from one coast to another, filling venues with my performances

The dressing rooms I roam in is the scent of blessings (boom)
Wherever I travel, I bring positive energy with me, and people are affected by it

Soon as we rockets to the next spot to wreck em
Whenever I move to a new location, I am eager to make an impact and leave my mark

I put the pure in the store, I got the cure (c'mon)
My talents and abilities are potent and transformative, and they have the ability to heal and uplift people

Like a doc-tor, switchin' from planes, to helicopters
My travels take me on different modes of transportation, and I am always on the move

MC's with your fake scowls, you smell foul, so I drop ya (you stink)
I recognize when other MCs are not being genuine, and I am not afraid to dismiss them and move on

And then I walked away with your propers (allathat)
After dismissing someone who is not genuine, I still earn respect and admiration from others

Of course I had stop ya
It was necessary for me to address and dismiss someone who was not genuine

See now you lost your spot ta...the traveler
By being fake or insincere, someone has lost their position, while I continue to travel and make an impact

Makin' it right
I am using my talents and abilities to make a positive difference in the world
