World in My Backpack
Kendrick Lamar

[Intro]

Yeah, it's Kendrick
Backpack across the globe
Get your mind right
Let's go

[Verse 1]

I got my passport, knapsack, heart is full of passion
Travelin' the atlas, I'm a modern-day assassin
I'm slayin' all these beats, takin' notes from the streets
Every country, every city, every soul and heartbeat

Crossin' borders like it's nothin', got my pockets full of dreams
Countin' hours, miles of distance, I'm shreddin' old seams
From the Rockies to the Andes, Tokyo to Rome
With a notebook and a pen, I make the world my own

Blazin' trails, droppin' gems, in the city and the jungle
Livin' life in the moment, catchin' vibes, ain't no trouble
I'm the backpack rap Messiah, drop heat like wildfire
Watch me spit this poetry, take your spirit higher

[Chorus]

Got the world in my backpack, pages full of wisdom
A lyrical magician, ain't no fuckin' system
Breakin' boundaries, chasin' dreams, stayin' true
World in my backpack, I'm livin' out the blue

[Verse 2]

I learn from every culture, absorbin' every story
Walkin' in the footsteps of the legends, real glory
From the slums to the heights, see the spectrum of light
Through the blindfold of borders, flyin' free as a kite

Met a monk in Tibet, told me life's a vivid sketch
Each experience a color, paintin' mind’s stretch
Dropped some bars in Paris, lit the Eiffel with my flow
Caught a vibe in Costa Rica, nature puttin' on a show

Through the deserts of Sahara with the sun upon my back
I'm deciphering the wisdom in the ancient artifacts
I'm the voice of every traveler who's seen beyond the veil
My verses, vivid postcards, let my story set sail

[Chorus]

Got the world in my backpack, pages full of wisdom
A lyrical magician, ain't no fuckin' system
Breakin' boundaries, chasin' dreams, stayin' true
World in my backpack, I'm livin' out the blue

[Bridge]

A suitcase full of metaphors, my mind's a goldmine
Map the plotting dots, connectin' life's timeline
Played London like a fiddle, jazzed up in New Orleans
In every bar and hook, the essence of my scenes

[Verse 3]

From Toronto to Vancouver, touched the heart of Canada
North star guiding me, colder nights, tougher stamina
Seen love in the kindness of a stranger's smile
Even in the rough spots, beauty all the while

Damn, every step I've taken’s added fire to my pen
Every border that I’ve crossed, a story with no end
With the mic in my hand, I'm the globe-trot rap king
My words are my compass, let the vibrations ring

[Chorus]

Got the world in my backpack, pages full of wisdom
A lyrical magician, ain't no fuckin' system
Breakin' boundaries, chasin' dreams, stayin' true
World in my backpack, I'm livin' out the blue

[Outro]

This is for the wanderers, the dreamers on a mission
Spit that knowledge fire, lyrical ignition
Got my backpack, ready, set, let’s roll
Kendrick Lamar, backpacker of the soul
