Talib Kweli - Mr. International Lyrics

Hey how you doing
We all gonna be like a bunch of little Fonzi's
What's Fonz he's cool

Meet Mr. International on the runway more than a fashion show, you know
It's all I love like McEnroe but sorry I have to go
One more time yo
Meet Mr. International on the runway more than a fashion show, you know
It's all I love like McEnroe but sorry I have to go

[Nigel Hall:]
I've been so many places in my life and time
And I know this for sure I'm a life that's worth living
I've seen a lot of faces made a lot of moves
I'm international cause of you
I've been so many places in my life and time
And I know this for sure I'm a life that's worth living
I've seen a lot of faces made a lot of moves
I'm international cause of you

Yo let me introduce you to the Blacksmith crew we making money
Go to sleep with a dream and we waking up hungry
It's a new day stomach is rumbling oh well
I'm like Lloyd Banks stumbling outta the hotel
Overseas show I'm catching the last flight
Really need to go I'm hangover from last night
Out with Gina and Mila [?] we get silly
Had a ball bout to call a cab like Wet Willie's
When I'm in commuter traffic I'm never worried or panic
First class travel I'm flying Virgin Atlantic
I'm already checked in I'm ready to settle in
Going places I've never been I get my Rosetta in
Racking up the sky miles and getting them upgrades
And you hate the only place that you visit is upstate
Don't be mad cause I'm writing this rhyme on my iPad
Don't be sad cause tomorrow I'm catching the flight back

[Nigel Hall:]
I've been so many places in my life and time
And I know this for sure I'm a life that's worth living
I've seen a lot of faces made a lot of moves
I'm international cause of you

I'm a traveling man moving through places space and time
Thinking life hard working at your 9 to 5
No matter what you do you can't imitate my grind
24/7 love ain't that rough
When your career is you're passion no that ain't enough
So when you hear me rapping it's like I'm making love
Banging your eardrum slinging that good ugh
Taking over the planet you follow my footprints now you rolling with the greatest
I'm getting to know the neighbors I'm tasting the local flavors
Chicks from the ghetto were richer than portobello
My life is like a movie a novel by Paulo Coelho
Or the Steely Dan song about a bottle of Cuevo
Colombian Gold take a hit for the road
It's given me a vision like I was licking a toad
Consider me so blessed like mama making a cake
And the kids licking the bowl

[Nigel Hall:]
I've been so many places in my life and time
And I know this for sure I'm a life that's worth living
I've seen a lot of faces made a lot of moves
I'm international cause of you
I've been so many places in my life and time
And I know this for sure I'm a life that's worth living
I've seen a lot of faces made a lot of moves
I'm international cause of you
