 Right now I'm gonna take you for a ride
 Hold on tight  so you don't slip or slide
 This train is packed  you don't get no seat  yup
 You gotta stand on your tired feet
 Where we goin don't worry  you'll be there in a hurry
 But you better watch you pockets cause the thieves work quickly
 This is a New York transit thing
 Don't wear too much gold and hide your diamond rings
 And don't smile at anyone
 Cause people out here, they like to travel with handguns
 You say you like this trip, well are you sure?
 You better step lively, and watch the
 watch the closing doors

 Here we go, as we ride, through the underground
 Coming from Uptown, taking you downtown
 Headed for Brooklyn, Brooklyn the planet
 Somebody stinks in here - I hope you can stand it!
 Homeless people everywhere holdin cups for change
 And if you don't have none, they may look at you strange
 But this is all part of the scene
 And yo check those kids cause they're startin to scheme
 See them lookin at you up and down?
 Oh yeah they can tell, that you're somebody from out of town
 Think they won't harm you? Well they might
 And that ain't right, but everyday is like a fight

 Ah ahh, ahh ahh ahh
 I can't quit, I gotta do what I must
 Cause I can take you on a ride with the lyrics I bust
 Cause I'm a master, try to diss and I'll blast ya
 Any wack MC that steps up, is gettin plastered
 Straight against the wall, cause I don't stall
 I give em drama and trauma, til they all fall
 And for those who don't know, about the city life
 It's where we take no pity, and the kiddies are trife
 Takin the train is just part of it
 The next stop is Brooklyn, you're comin to the heart of it
 You never know what will occur
 So just keep to yourself and watch the closing doors
