Chords for Talib Kweli "Traveling Light" feat. Anderson .Paak (Official Music Video)

[E] _ _ _ _ I come from the God body era.
I come from standing on street corners, smoking blunts
out of white hours for 40s, building and destroying about the suns and the planets
and the moon and the stars, about the nature of man, about knowledge, wisdom, and understanding.
And you had to show it to them.
And you had to write it.
_ _ [Gb] _
[E] _ _ [Ebm] _ _ _ [Abm] _ _ [Gb] _
[Em] _ [Ebm] _ _ _ _ [Abm] _ _ [Gb] _
[E] _ _ [Ebm] _ _ _ [B] _ _ [Gb] _
_ [Ebm] _ _ _ _ [Abm] _ _ [Gb] _
[E] I got [Ebm] a doctorate in rocking and partying.
We got it popping this marvelous nigga,
why?
Following carbon copies, I'm stopping to intervene.
You're a roniest, the phoniest rappers I've ever [Abm] seen.
When I take flight, I'm traveling [Ebm] like, that's double the time.
But when I'm touring, exploring outside the genre, I'll illuminate when I'm grabbing a mic.
It's so [Abm] bright and I'm blinded, yet I'm back with a friendly reminder.
We choose Jim Stapp, ass in the [Ebm] night, but alas,
you about to run into [Abm] the iceberg of crack and the shit I have.
Traveling like, [Gb]
[E] not talking about [Ebm] back in the bag.
[B] First I get back in the lab, then I hit the road, I'll be back in the flash.
With [Em] Barry Allen mixed [Bbm] with [Gbm] Harry Allen.
[Abm] My blood hot as [Gbm] volcanic rock,
[Ebm] forming canary diamonds, and final canary islands.
A rhyme inspired by a rhyme instead of very violent.
I'm the voice of a generation that's very silent.
[Db]
Stick to my convictions like I've been [B] indicted.
All you niggas throwing me shades, [D] about [Abm] to get enlightened.
_ [Gb] _
_ [Abm] _ _ _ _ _ _
You _ _ _ _ _ _ [Gb] _
_ [Db] grind into the sun, [Abm] whether it's cold murder, the pies have been cut up.
Up and over the hurdles, let's look at the sky.
_ Life is heavy enough, but you're lifting me higher.
_ _ [Gb] _
[Abm] Rather leave it behind, the legacy that you built will be left when you're done. _ _ _ _
[Ebm] Brooklyn is changing, [E] and so am I.
I [Ebm] see you on the other side, [Abm] but like, [Gb] hey.
[Ebm] _ I'm faster than the [Abm] speed of sound.
[Gb] Smashing [E] through these barriers and [Ebm] blasting out your speakers now.
Travel around the planet till I land to where I'm needed [Ab] now.
We [Gb]
[Ebm] entertainers, they wanna call us leaders now.
Whoa, [B] extra baggies, not in the plans.
[Gb] Shop on the land, [Abm] stop at a van.
[Gbm] Where every airport from [Db] Okinawa [Ebm] to Osaka, Japan.
Stop, zoom in and live in your time zone.
[E] Jet [Gb] lag is my [E] reality, [Ebm] the road's my home, [Abm] my home.
[E] You down for it, [Ebm] you should probably get [B] out for it.
I be [Gb] planning [E] out tours with a band of [B] outlaws.
I'm packing [Dbm] my bags, it's just [Ebm] marijuana and magazines.
[B] Wrapping a [Gb] flag [Dbm] around a pistol, the red, the black, and [B] the green.
Never crashing, the grill is mean when [Db] I'm whipping machines, [Abm] sniffing between.
[Gb] All [E] these commuters, they moving slow like they sipping the lean.
[Gb] Are they living the dream?
Get to they [Abm] office and that [Gb] computer's drifting off until [Eb] they start [Abm] to rip on the screen. _
Travel light, _ travel light, _ travel light, _ travel [Gb] light.
You're [F] grinding to [Ebm] the sun [Abm] up, weather is cold murder.
The pies have been cut up, up and over the hurdles.
Just look at the sky, life is silly enough.
Just look in the eye, _ _ _ rather leave it behind.
The legacy that you built will be left when you're done. _ _ _
[Ebm] Brooklyn is changing, [E] and so am I.
I'll [Ebm] see you on the other side, [Abm] travel light.
[Ebm]
I'm breaking promises, my mission is [Abm] reconnaissance.
It's [Gb] dangerous [E] for anybody [Ebm] following.
That's [Abm] why I take [Gb] biting [E] as a [Ebm] compliment.
It's proof of my dominance.
It's the haters way of congratulating me for my accomplishments.
Well, I'm so autonomous, demolishing all the [Abm] charlatans.
They're [Gb] whispering in the [E] ears of your [Gb] congressmen, chipping dollars [Abm] in their [Gb] pockets.
The more [Ebm] we locked up, the more they [Abm] profited.
They're [Gb] building [Abm] empires like Adam.
Now who you wanna [Gb] face, the sharks in the water [Db] or the snakes in [Abm] the boat?
The lesser [Gb] of [E] two evils be [Ebm] fighting for fake votes.
[B] We're walking through the alley of darkness, you stay close.
See the light at the end of the tunnel, [Gb] the maker chose.
Raise a glass to our glorious past, we the [B] wave of the future.
[Dbm] Never confuse the protesters with [Gbm] looters.
Silence the radio heads and OK computers.
Travel to Mecca like Mansa Musa, so let's go. _
[D] I feel, you can get this on [N] your camera. _
I feel an imperative in the digital age to happen in real life.
[D] _ _
And I don't care if they can't take [Gb] my picture. _
_ [B] Because I've never [Ab] seen Paul Bunyan, but I know who the fuck he is.
And [B] you gotta make him talk about you.
[Em] You gotta make [E] him experience you.
I'm saying this to all [B] you young people out here who look up to [Dbm] quality,
and maybe [Abm] even me unwisely.
_ _ [Gb] _ _ Happen in real life.
_ _ All the life [N] now happens in this. _
Pull that fucking feed and tube out of [D] your stomach [Eb] and get [D] first-hand _ information.
[Gb] Know for yourself what it feels like.
And then you too can become a _ superhuman, _ empathetic person.
[N] You can care about people you've never met,
and worry about problems that you don't even have.
This has been a real nigga _ _ PSA. _
Yeah!
_ [Dm] _ _ _ [F] Now, now, see [G] you on that stage.
Speak the truth.
Speak
