Mike Martin - Thoughts Travel (Power to the People) Lyrics

When I travel it allows my state of mind to grow
In my head gears turn like The Wheels On the Road
Miles of memories I grow old
Everywhere I go there's a story to be told
I'm on a bus that stops in New York City
Number one spot for diversity
There's a Buddhist monk handing out beads on the streets
And a transient man's got nothing to eat so I
Hit Halal Guys and ordered a platter
I split it with them cuz I know that money doesn't matter
Along with the food we shared a little laughter
Touched on life and its chapters
See ignorant is bliss but will make you go blind over time get up get out open your mind
Don't spend your life inside with closed blinds
You'll find when you travel the soul can shine

Thoughts that my mind hold shine like gold
And it seems I'll live young and die when I'm old
But a leg and lung for retirement goals?
I'm trying to live a life more desirable but I don't know
How long I have to live if I have a kid I'll show him that you get what you give
Forgive and don't forget live with no regret
Teaching hip hop show the culture respect
Putting phony foes in check internet hoes for a check
I'm talking to the ones who don't know inspectah deck
And it seems like I'm the last of a generation
Cuz y'all rap for occupation but I rap to rock a nation
So stop debating have some patience
I'm ready to take off like a helicopter waiting
Rotors in rotation in control of my destination
Any questions only blessings no hating Mike Martin
