Lyrics
1, 2
1, 1, 2
1, 1, 1, 2
1, 1, 2
1, 1, 2
1, 2, 3
1, 2, 3, ow!
You can go to the jungle, go to the city
Visit Soweto, live in the Bay
Or somewhere in between
But you'll never be unseen (Uh-huh, no)
Go to the jungle, go to the city
Visit Soweto, live in the Bay
Or somewhere in between
But you'll never be unseen (Gotta get away, now)
Uh, now this is how it is
We try to handle biz
And make moves in this land where the power lives
Where they devour kids
And acts of cowardice rule from a tool of violence
And a shrouded bliss
I try to release my malice
And develop my inner peace in a place so callous
Maybe I'll go to Angola or the Gold Coast
And blow smoke with the old folks 'cause they know most
Capture the cultured pearls, jewels, and gems
It's a treasure hunt to stimulate your medulla stem
The furthest reaches are within your clutches
Concrete covered countries to the most birded regions
Virgin territories, those exposed to man made woes
They know them Hieros
Electrified with lectures, collect respect and ride on
'Fore you even notice I'm gone (No)
Go to Saigon, Singapore or Sicily
They consider me epitome in Italy (Ah, that's right)
Hit Libya, India, Morocco
Or go to Oakland and hit the Eight Deuce block though
Chicago, Liberia, Nigeria
'Frisco is cold like Siberia, the list goes
On, deport the gulf of Spain
Maine, San Juan, Guam, or San Luis Obispo
Go to the jungle, go to the city
Visit Soweto, live in the Bay
Or somewhere in between
But you'll never be unseen (Uh-huh, no)
Go to the jungle, go to the city
Visit Soweto, live in the Bay
Or somewhere in between
But you'll never be unseen (Gotta get away, now)
I don't know dog
Maybe it's just me, but I feel I'm clutching
To hold nothing
I mean bluffing
I got the poker face
I don't really know my place
And I never chose this way
So I go astray
Throw aways blow away
Every hope I hold today
We were sold as slaves
The sky is cold and gray
My **** showed the way
So fan and listen now with this
I see my golden age
Uh, time zone travellin'
Boundary crossin'
Now we talkin'
Worldwide, now we cost em'
Fo sho' partner I'm a Globetrotter
Downing shots of Goldschläger
Smokin' like a old Rasta
I've flown lots of places intercontinental
Every spot we've been to
We monumental
We rock the venue like we dropped a missile
But it ain't an attack
That's why the people keep on bringing us back
Feel that
I didn't tat my belly
Still I'm lovin' Makaveli
Trying to reach the pinnacle
And we will, so be ready, set we jetty
I've never stolen energy
Combined with visionary minds so we itchin' to blow
Like a Dirty Harry trigger finger
With a needle quicker than my Filipino homies on the two turntables
See the truth enables sight through your damaged cornea
We got the formula from Oakland California
Go to the jungle, go to the city
Visit Soweto, live in the Bay
Or somewhere in between
But you'll never be unseen (Uh-huh, no)
Go to the jungle, go to the city
Visit Soweto, live in the Bay
Or somewhere in between
But you'll never be unseen (Gotta get away, now)
