Mos Def - Leaving On A Jet Plane

[@feelingood456]

This song is forever in my heart. Im much older mentally and physically but everytime i listen to this song (which is seldom nowadays) I still always catch that spark, that feeling of the world being in my hands, so optimistic but indifferent of the bright future because it feels so good to be in that moment that you could be stuck there forever and you wouldn't mind. Maybe thats just what happens to me but thought I'd share. Thanks for reading, peace.

[@LuvLEE_Rayoflight_Feelthebeat]

[@DrFluffinator]

Perfectly worded.

[@hyperpotionz]

Thanks for sharing. It's difficult to put these kinds of emotions into words like you did sometimes.

[@barreraberman5173]

Peace brother

As a child I used to think this was the orginal song. I still rememeber like 15 years ago, I was like 16, my elder brother left for college and i was acting tough like i want miss him. And when he left for the airport i listened to this song for an hour, im not a christian but i remember praying for his safe flight that day.

[@zakariachajia1199]

That shit made me cry so hard, I have big dreams in this life and I wish to all the good people what I wish to myself.

0:51 I love how the beat quiets down and gets simpler so you can hear Mos Def, just like a solo in jazz

For a travelling man this hits HARD.

[@vicko101367]

BEST VERSION POSSIBLE.... Blow my mind instead any other versions !!!!

[@ClipzNY]

Absolute banger. Rap these days should be called crap. Glad I grew up to this 🙌✌️

[@brotherrodricus4772]

2019 and I’m still banging this record. This is truly timeless music.

I got my passport ready,i'll be playing this song as move from one airport to another

[@keenonramsay9417]

Been coming back to this specific vid for like 10 yrs..the vid matches perfectly..pretty relaxing

[@JonahMotley]

I first seen Mos when I was a kid and we was watching a new episode of Chappelle's Show back in like 2003 and him and Dave were cruising in Dave's Ride and Mos comes out with this Incredible Flow.

[@mrdg1011]

He was singing Close Edge off The New Danger

[@TheLordeOfPlastic]

One of of the greatest lyricists of all time!

[@jstiles1659]

No doubt about it that,Mos Def is a boss and some of the greatest songs ever.

[@satyrz03]

There is "I'm leaving" and "memories don't live..." both great songs. This version is harder to find. Love this song. Mos Def is one of my favorites... This video is pretty dope too.

[@KLK01]

I know your comment is years old, but ironically I always find this version when I try to download it. The one with memories is so much harder to get. It’s not even on spotify.

[@MichaelMartinez-ez6md]

Dj Honda remixed it , both versions r 🔥

[@Joshualee206]

One of my favorite songs of all time. Thank you Yasiin Bey.

[@ChristopherSalerno-e2b]

[@ignaciolima7441]

cada vez que estoy triste escucho está canción, me hace recordar a cuando empecé la secundaria y era un niño feliz que pasaba tiempo con sus amigos y patinaba a toda hora aguante mos def para toda la vida guachos

vuelvo a esta cancion siempre cuando necesito despejar mi mente y me hace sentir muy vivo

[@prinsreintje]

Mos def is right up there, way above the Tupac's and other commercial artists that they try make you believe are the best of all time

[@azuka5feb]

toooooooooooo smooooooth . The one and only MOS DEF

[@prinsreintje]

Best version in my opinion.

[@TheWorldisTemporary]

[@davidsawyer0703]

So dope-!

[@withnail-and-i]

Not better than the original

[@Woter_X]

And I way better. The beat is dope

[@leesanchez8779]

Definitely agree

[@123tymek]

Listening to this when I'm leaving my girl in two days, after 4years together because I'm leaving my country and we will be over 3000km apart, our plans of living life they split up, it was getting harder and harder from month to month but I know she will have feelings for me and I will have for her, that's the saddest part of it. We will miss each other and I hope seeing her in years with smile on her face when I will visit.

[@123tymek]

Butters S. Fuck off, if you don’t care then don’t comment and waste your time, it doesn’t look like you don’t care what everybody has to say ;)

[@israeljr9330]

I’m going through a similar situation, this song makes me feel grounded like everything is going to be just fine! Good vibes brother.

Right, unless she gets killed in a car accident, or her parachute doesn't open or something. It can happen.

2019 and still banging this...true hip hop..music that actually has personality...puts a smile on my face..

[@adidaselitist6739]

This is timeless…and so beautiful. I listened to this ALOT in high school….Honda and Mos killed this… we need more of this…

[@ClipzNY]

Bro this is history unfortunately just be glad we got to listen to it when it first came out 🫵

[@JarvisArson]

Mos letting us know on this track that being a rapper isn't just about doing it b/c you love it, but they're trying to get paid and support their families as well. Can't be mad at that. Fortunate for Mos he's able to capitalize on his acting abilities for money and never compromises his music.

Yes most def

[@leonorancube9854]

I am

[@GenuineAltruist]

Huh? That sentence doesn't make sense

[@PhishSurvivor]

@@GenuineAltruist I know--I don't know how it got so many likes. Most people say, "who's still listening in October," or "who's still listening in 2019," but my comment: "who's listening the day this song came out," is only good for one day, and that is the day this song was originally released. And since my comment wasn't posted until long after that day, it would never actually apply to anyone who reads it, making it the worst comment ever. But with that said, this song is great, and go ahead and like my shit anyways.

[@PASSWORD323]

I listen to it every time I'm taking a plane lol

Bismillah Ir-Rahman Ir-Rahim Inner city Inner city travellin' man I'm a travellin' man I wanted to become an aviator, and I wanted to become a great singer. I always had the same dream. The dream was I'm singing for hundreds of thousands of people, and be with the people, and I got standing ovations. And then about being an aviator, I always thought ? I know that you're letting me go I'm leaving Inner city travellin' man Well go ahead and leave The call heard around the world from the wisest emcees These cats is paying more than half a pound ? ? but we could probably run the back of town Scenarios like this is tear jerkers For the modern emcee, I ain't no blue-collar worker Cause this thing called rhyming, ain't no different from coal mining We both on assignment to unearth the diamond When you start climbing and them eyes start shining You be struggling and striving and they think you prime timing Maintain and keep silent, make note and observation It's confrontation, this is the daily operation My concentration, stay focused on my recitation About to reach my destination with no pause or hesitation Baby make the preparation, cause this ain't no recreation This is pro ball, and we're letting you know y'all At the show y'all, doing this for dough, y'all Get the phone call, and I'm ready to blow, y'all About to go, y'all, been a pleasure to know you all And I'm letting you know Inner city Inner city travellin' man I'm a travellin' man God willing, I'll be back home To drop these heavy ass bags up off my backbone Around the world with a catalog of rap songs My baby girl is walking, been away for that long ? how it seem to me My hometown is like a whole different scenery The old timers on the stoop leaning leisurely The new jacks up in the park smoking greenery Easily taken for granted when you're up in it But it's sweet-scented when you've been down for a minute Move around city limits, breaking down with the business The innovative, classical B-Boy image Collect the winnings, cause that's the reason that we came here The thing is not a game here, the fortune not a fame here From the New York to the ?, Cali to the Cadillacs Chicago know we innovate, infiltrate Virginia State D.C. make me stimulate, really tho we penetrate Doujah make us generate, lets set a date to get the pace The celebrating my jams in foreign lands Even your mans in Japan know who I am ? make everybody ? Ichiban ? Phenomenal, excuse me, that's a phone call It's the show y'all, trying to get this dough, y'all About to go, y'all, been a pleasure to know you all And I'm letting you know Inner city Inner city travellin' man I'm a travellin' man
