The Shoes of a World Traveler - Looptroop Rockers

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

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)

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

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

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

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

Been around the world

Been around the world

You always bring me back home
