Mos Def - Leaving on a Jet Plane - Текст песни

yeah
 yo yo what time the plane leaving?
 alright, see you at the airport

 I'm leaving, on the next plane
 I don't know when I'll be back again
 Kiss me and smile for me
 Tell me that you'll wait for me
 Hold me, like you know I'll never go
 Even though you know I will
 I'm a travelling man
 moving through places
 space and time
 got a lot of things I got to do
 but God willing I'm coming back to you
 my baby-boo
 I'm a travelling man
 moving through places
 space and time
 gotta lotta things i got to do
 but God willing I'm coming back to you
 my baby-boo
 I'm leaving

 Well go'head and leave
 the call heard around the world from the wives of MCs
 these cats is paying more than half a pound
 my garment bag'll snatch it down
 Ain't got the skate, but we can probably run it back in town
 scenarios like this is tear jerkers
 for the modern emcee, ie. the blue collar worker
 Cause this thing called rhyming, no different than coal mining
 we both on assignment, to unearth the diamond
 while you start climbing in 'em, I start shining
 you be struggling and striving
 and they think you prime timing
 maintain and keep silent
 make note and observation
 this confrontation
 this is the daily operation
 my concentration
 stay focussed on my recitation
 bout to reach my destination
 with no pause or hesitation
 baby make the preparation
 cause this ain't no recreation
 this is pro-ball
 and we lettin' you know y'all
 at the show y'all
 Doing this for doe y'all
 get the phone call
 and I'm ready to blow y'all
 bout to go y'all
 been a pleasure to know y'all
 and I'm lettin' you know that

 I'm leaving, on a jet plane
 I don't know if I'll be back again
 Kiss me and smile for me
 Tell me that you'll wait for me
 Hold me, like you know I'll never go
 Even though you know I will
 i'm a travelling man
 moving through places
 space and time
 gotta lotta things i got to do
 But Inshallah I'm coming back to you
 my baby-boo
 I'm a travelling man
 moving through places
 space and time
 got a lot of things I got to do
 but Inshallah I'm coming back to you
 my baby-boo
 I'm leaving

 But God willing I'll be back home
 to drop these heavy ass bags up off my back bone
 around the world with a catalogue of rap songs
 my baby girl is walking, been away for that long
 but no you haven't well at least that's how it seem to me
 my hometown is like a whole different scenery
 the old timers on the stoop leaning leisurely
 the new jacks up in the parks smoking greenery
 easily take it for granted when you up in it
 but it's sweet scented, when you been down for a minute
 move around city limits, break 'em down with the vinitage
 the inovinin', classical b-boy image
 collect the winnings
 cause it the reason that we came here
 this thing is not a game here
 the fortune not the fame here
 from New York to the Cackalacks
 Cali and the Cadillacs
 Chicago no we innovate
 Infiltrate Virginia state
 DC make me stimulate
 Philly know we penetrate
 Georgia make us generate
 Let's set a date to get the papes
 they celebrate to my jams in foreign lands
 even your mans in Japan know who I am
 Menasun, make everybody out in Nippon
 say ichiban, me God man bo where you hitting from
 phenomenon
 scuse me that's a phone call
 it's a show y'all
 trying to get this doe y'all
 bout to blow y'all
 been a pleasure to know y'all
 and I'm lettin' you know

 I'm leaving, on a jet plane
 I don't know if I'll be back again
 Kiss me and smile for me
 Tell me that you'll wait for me
 Hold me, like you know I'll never go
