[00:00.00]Promised Land (Album Version) - Mos Def
[00:03.94]I left my home
[00:04.88]In Norfolk Virginia
[00:06.18]California
[00:07.12]On my mind
[00:09.68]Straddled
[00:10.18]That Greyhound
[00:10.93]Rode him
[00:11.68]Past Raleigh
[00:12.49]On across
[00:13.30]Caroline
[00:15.36]Stopped
[00:15.73]In Charlotte
[00:17.11]And bypassed
[00:18.11]Rock Hill
[00:18.97]And we never
[00:19.85]Was a minute late
[00:21.04]We was
[00:21.54]Ninety miles
[00:22.22]Out of Atlanta
[00:23.10]By sundown
[00:23.91]Rolling across
[00:24.72]The Georgia state
[00:27.15]We had motor
[00:28.03]Trouble it
[00:28.53]Turned into
[00:29.21]A struggle
[00:29.64]Half way
[00:30.45]Cross Alabama
[00:31.14]And that hound
[00:32.57]Broke down
[00:33.51]And left us
[00:34.32]All stranded
[00:34.88]In downtown
[00:36.50]Birmingham
[00:50.73]Straight off
[00:51.60]I bought me
[00:52.79]A through
[00:53.29]Train ticket
[00:54.04]Riding cross
[00:54.66]Mississippi
[00:55.54]Clean
[00:56.04]And I was on
[00:57.16]That midnight
[00:57.84]Flyer out
[00:58.60]Of Birmingham
[00:59.35]Smoking into
[01:00.03]New Orleans
[01:02.30]Somebody
[01:02.93]Help me get
[01:03.80]Out of Louisiana
[01:04.73]Just help me get
[01:05.79]To Houston town
[01:07.67]There's
[01:08.23]People there
[01:09.11]Who care
[01:10.04]A little about me
[01:11.17]And they won't let
[01:12.22]The poor boy down
[01:13.97]Sure
[01:14.41]As you're born
[01:15.29]They bought me
[01:16.28]A silk suit
[01:16.96]Put luggage
[01:17.84]In my hands
[01:19.47]And I woke up high
[01:21.27]Over Albuquerque
[01:22.77]On a jet
[01:23.52]To the promised land
[01:37.50]Working on a T bone
[01:39.00]Steak a la carte
[01:40.05]Flying over
[01:40.55]To the Golden State
[01:42.86]The pilot told me
[01:44.05]In thirteen minutes
[01:45.98]We'd be heading
[01:47.11]In the terminal gate
[01:49.04]Swing low
[01:49.85]Sweet chariot
[01:51.22]Come down easy
[01:52.16]Taxi
[01:52.54]To the terminal zone
[01:54.84]Cut your engines
[01:56.22]Cool your wings
[01:57.46]And let me make it
[01:58.59]To the telephone
[02:00.94]Los Angeles
[02:02.12]Give me
[02:02.68]Norfolk Virginia
[02:03.12]Tidewater
[02:03.68]Four ten O nine
[02:04.87]Tell the folks
[02:06.05]Back home
[02:08.05]This is
[02:08.67]The promised land
[02:09.42]Calling
[02:09.79]And the poor boy's
[02:11.36]On the line
