about

Over the last four years, Mouraine, Oozee and I have had the opportunity to travel abroad to share our music in multiple countries. Sometimes it’s surreal considering where we are from. Not only are we from the most unlikely home for hip-hop, but we are all the children of immigrants who have used our talents as our ticket to the world. In many ways this song is a celebration as we reflect on dreaming of going overseas, to eventually making it come true. On the track we are also joined by Gatson from Champagne, Illinois who we met while performing in Holland at New Skool Rules.

lyrics

VERSE 1 - ARLO MAVERICK
I used to have a fear for planes
Too much is left to chance
You could say you’re literally flying
By the seat of your pants
It appears I passed with flying colours
My passport is covered
And every country we rock
I grab something for mother
Mugs clutter her cupboard
To remind her that I love her
And her son is on a journey
Her prayers help discover
I took my fam to see the globe
So they could know
The potential we hold
If we focus on our goals
Late nights in Seoul
Eating chicken as we hold
Conversations bout the future
And how we plan to grow
Wrexham to London
The vibes dem we love them
Tallinn and Rotterdam
Maybe hop on a tram
Cannes by the beach
Late night stare at the sea
Miles away from Edmonton
However did we reach
Europe and Asia
Some may say luck
Cause the only time I flew as a child was to Jamaica

CHORUS 4X - ARLO MAVERICK & OOZEELA
I’m a world tour
And I’m taking my fam
I’m taking my fam
I said I’m taking my fam

VERSE 2 - MOURAINE
Ayo Arlo good looking
I just got confirmation for the booking
We could make outta Edmonton
If Hov made it from Brooklyn
I tried to tell my niggas theres more to this life more than this
Picture us on Boeing jets taking private trips
To get paid
And tell rhymes on stage
No lay away or delays
I wrote this on plane just imagine
Manifest and hard work it could happen
I ‘member the days
When I was laughed at rapping
Now my high school haters in my dm
Like nigga you really poppin’
Damn you see the irony
I always believed in the higher me
And 9-5 isn’t cut for me
I’d rather be in Rotterdam
With dime down to swallow me
But nothing beats the feeling when I come back home
To tell all my niggas can’t wait to bring them along
You know patience is virtue
Dawg it won’t be long
Till the world tour with Mohammed my man
With Mohammed my man
World tour with Mohammed my man

CHORUS 4X - ARLO MAVERICK & OOZEELA
I’m a world tour
And I’m taking my fam
I’m taking my fam
I said I’m taking my fam

VERSE 3 - GATSON
Look, everything is everything now
I know I made my granny proud
I hope the town see I’m proud to be where I’m from
I say it loud (207)
Poppin’ champagne in Champagne
I hope you enjoying the campaign
We came so far the world knew our name
Word to New Skools in Europe
Puttin on for the town
They like, “who dude”
Get a clue nigga
Gat a spit that shit that give you blues
It’s true nigga
Takes a little longer when you build it organically
Never spittin fantasies
This is my reality
Where I’m from if you make it to 25
It’s like you hit the lottery
I came in this game
I never had my hand out
All I ever wanted for labels to hear my plan out
Wrote a letter to the world
Hoping shit would pan out
And when it didn’t I got discouraged
Till I found my purpose
God drew my blueprint and now I see it was worth it
I’m on my

CHORUS 4X - ARLO MAVERICK & OOZEELA
I’m a world tour
And I’m taking my fam
I’m taking my fam
I said I’m taking my fam
