The song "Traveller" by Mungo's Hi-Fi feat. Charlie P is essentially an ode to the life of a wanderer. The opening lines, "Cause I'm a traveller, traveller" are both an introduction and a statement of self-identification. We then hear the singer talk about moving across borders, smoking marijuana and never dealing with any drama. This is the kind of life he has chosen for himself as a wanderer. He describes himself as someone who travels across the seas, sees different kinds of people on the street, but never has to deal with the police.
He then remembers early memories of his travel journey, including his first performance at a foreign place when he was 15 years old. He mentions how time has flown by and how he is now almost 20, but he chooses not to dwell on the past too much. The singer shares that he has been singing since he was only five years old and that he had never guessed he would end up becoming an international star.
The lyrics of "Traveller" showcase the sense of freedom, independence, and adventure that comes with a life spent moving from place to place. The song's upbeat rhythm and reggae-inspired beat perfectly complement its message of living life one day at a time and enjoying whatever comes your way.

I don’t listen to reggae or dub anymore but this is objectively good.
