"Mr. International" lyrics
(feat. Nigel Hall)
[Talib Kweli:]
Hey, how ya doing?
We all gonna be like a bunch of little Fonzies
What's Fonzie? He's cool!
Yup, meet Mr. International
On the runway more than a fashion show, ya know?
It's all love like McEnroe
But sorry, I have to go, one more time, yo
Meet Mr. International
On the runway more than a fashion show, ya know?
It's all 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, because 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, because of you
[Talib Kweli:]
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 out of the hotel
Overseas show, I'm catching the last flight
Really need to go, I'm hungover from last night
Out with Gina and MeLa Machinko, 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 panicked
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, because of you
[Talib Kweli:]
I'm a traveling man, moving through places, space and time
Think your 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 your passion, know that ain't enough
So when you hear me rapping, it's like I'm making love
Banging your eardrum
Slinging that good uh, 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 flavor
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 Cuervo
Colombian Gold, take a hit for the road
It's giving me a vision like I was licking a toad
Consider me so blessed like mamma baking a cake
And the kids is licking the bowl, the image stick in your soul
[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, because 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, because of you
It's because of you
I'm international, yeah
Ooh-ooh, ah ah ah
We're flying high up above in the sky
The wing on our wings
Hey, how ya doing?
We all gonna be like a bunch of little Fonzies
What's Fonzie? He's cool!
Yup, meet Mr. International
On the runway more than a fashion show, ya know?
It's all love like McEnroe
