Take the long train to Bombay
Duck as the tunnels came
Tune in your crystal set
You've won the freedom to forget
You've won the freedom to forget

Feeling good migrations
Tuned in to the mother nation
Taking her aim
Changing your name

Now we're nomads
That stay in one place
Not a country
Not a face
Standing out but still like ghosts
Long-term guests
Ungracious hosts
Re-written history
A sleepy slavery
Those sweet sweet sweet machines
Senfling, selling
Good migrations
Tuned in to the mother nation
Taking her aim
Rearranging the chains ....

The nine year old boy who had wanted to be white
Set out on the journey from loneliness to pride
Hostile environments along the way
A slowly changing landscape
But a steady stream of consciousness rising
A steady stream of consciousness rising

This is the journey from loneliness to pride
No longer any need to hide ....

Struggle to live
And we cry struggle to survive
Struggla, struggla, struggla, struggla
Just to stay alive
In the jungle you either do or you die
You got to be aware
You got to have the jungle eye ....

Oh the Journey into the people,
Into their selves , into their truth oh oh.
The truth is out there waiting inside of you.
The journey, a journey in you
Oh oh, oh..

Journey,
into the people,
people that reach out,
reach out for something,
Again and again
The Journey,
Beyond the limit
Limit in your mind
Changing what you see again

Journey,
into the people,
people that reach out,
reach out for something,
Again and again
The Journey,
Beyond the limit
Limit in your mind
Changing what you see.
Again and Again.
The Journey,
Beyond the limit
Limit in your mind
Changing what you see again.

Into you
Yes into yourself
And into the truth
And again and again.

Journey?
Into you
Yes into yourself
And into the truth
And again and again.

Journey?

Every now and then
I fall into deep thought and self-examination
Figuring out
If I really belong in this world

Who am I
What was I born to live
Will I succeed
Or will I fall short
Of my dreams

I know I’ve got to find a way to move on
Yeah, to a place where I can be stronger

On a journey
Deeper inside
On a journey
Deeper inside my mind

I know I’ve got to find a way to move on
Got to move on
To a place where I can be stronger
Stronger
Stornger
Stronger
Stronger

I’m on a journey
Deep inside my mind
To see if I can find
The answers to all the questions
I’ve been asking myself
For a long time
A long time
A long time
For a long time

I’m on a journey
Deep inside my mind
To see if I can find
The answers to all the questions
I’ve been asking myself
For a long time
A long time
A long time
For a long time

C'mon

[Verse 1]
This is the ultimate journey of your life
Where the weak die and the strong survive
Prepare to suffer 40 days and 40 nights
Strap on your boots because you got a long hike

[Chorus]
Just another journey, another journey into time
C'mon now
Just another journey, who ever thought I'd cross this line
Ohohohohoh

[Verse 2]

Walking through the dirty streets of Jersey (Jersey)
A dollar to my name searchin for that key
I'm tryin not to reincorinate my past
I'm tired from the game, took another path
Destination 95 Dirty South
Where the devil tried to realter my route
Creator took me by the hand and led the way-ay
to make the story short thats why I'm here today

[Chorus]

What about that day you said I wouldn't amount to shit
And about that day you kicked me out onto the bricks
What about that time you said I wouldnt make a dime
And about that time you said I couldn't make you mine
Destination to the bank overseas
Where Akons treated like royalty
Cause there's so much in this world i have to see-e
The wagon's rolling so jump in a follow me-e

[Breakdown]

Born and raised in Africa trying to make a scene
(trying to make a scene)
The best way to get to you is by this music thing
And you might believe

[Outro]

Life is a journey before i went the rap route,
i serve niggaz on off the bench like stack house,
going in with no intention to back down,
my quote cant flow solidified i spit crack now,
you get confinement from my mental stash house,
im back, droughts over fiends mouth foaming,
theres residue on the street my mics smoking,
time to show these niggaz its doe or die my eyes aint closing,
ever since i started rhyming the crime rates lower,
and i froze my watch cuz time waits for no-one,
can fuck with NY when you think its over,
you stay coming back like the Yanks with Hovers,
i aint livin on the strength of no-one, controls my fate,i hold my weight and know my place,
when i show my face its all love if not i say fuck it i dont mind hate.

How the body has fallen,
the city never sleeps look how tired New York is,
where i was born and raised is apart of ma aura,
im too young to die, too old to try the corners,
truth be told i move weight before starving,
life has highs and lows like songs from Marvin,
police take lives and go free of all charges,
justice fucks us and conceives modest,
so i open my eyes to the vision of malcolm,
i live for today yet i wish tommorow
is better than yesterday, dont exist no longer,
i dont maintain i elevate it just go harder,
with verses you sweat like a lyrical sauna,
http://www.elyricsworld.com/journey_lyrics_cormega.html
the message i am sendin with the pen in my palm is,
the hiatus is over i have risen and conquered,
laugh now cry later this is the karma,
hip hop never died its just sick of the drama,

Apparantly i realised my destiny's,
to write about life in the street in its complexities,
in a city that never sleeps many dreams are never reached,
i aint afraid to fail if later it'll help succeed,
im the same nigga but money changed everything,
from location to patients, theres motivation for every scheme,
poetically im making a strong case concurrently,
with the flow presently redefining my legacy,
life is purpose and goals, death is not doing anyhting,
can be achieved if you believe eventually..

Cut all the corners, step on the old routine
Oh what a joke these twenty-four years have been
Honey, in my mind I can see your star
I know who you are I've been learning
All right, so now we know which way the wind's gonna blow
Let's get up and go, no returning

(Solo)

Pack up your sorrow, put away your evening star
But don't change your clothes, I like you just the way you are
I know you've been sleeping under a big black cloud
And you never been allowed to be honest
Well I'm no saint but I'll carry you home
There's a place of your own if you want it

Uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh

Soon we'll be sailors, sailing on the salty sea
Where the waves of the world would be the one and only company
Come up and see the world it's like a ship going down
It's running a-ground, it's all over
But those flying fishes are gonna jump up and smile
Every league, every mile, to tell a nova
