Verse 1

A train express, uptown bound from 59th street

A pilot marker in my pocket im kinda bent slightly

Gortex fatigues ghetto uniform the basics

Bronx uptown, catch the D train 125th and st nick

Immediately taggin my click, so far so good and i ain't askin for shit

Infinite histories essentially

Im walking with a HIP-HOP bop, proceeding to the last car of the train

'yo shorty Aljulah is my name'

As far as the game goes im "all city", "all borough"

More gritty than a mallboro your a small puddle!

Compared to the action i witness on the "iron horse"

Sing it with me, or imma make you by applying force!

Chorus 1

Some chicks dont look this way just cuz i still take the train

But still at least i stay real

Some cops know my first name just cuz i still hop the train

But still at least i stay real

Im not who you should blame just cuz i spray paint the train

But still at least i stay real

You got blown out the frame, tryin to battle me? on the uptown A train

But still at least i stay real

Break2

Some shit you won't be able to understand

Some shit you won't be able to understand

Some shit you won't be able to understand

Some shit you won't be able to understand

Verse 2

I crack a can of wheat and barley on the 4 train and max

Got off the horse on Mt.Eden, Leaving my bleedin from weed in my system

With the rythm of wisdom on my mind and officer "oink" on my tail

Trying to throw me in the joint

Point taken. Sometimes i think if they keep faking, imma make em bacon

Wild from coney Island to Jamaica Station

Some Niggas so anxious they need to wait for patience

Im connected to an underworld of flagrant agents

In the ghetto "metro cards" changed arrangements

Guliani-modern day swami in satans army paper chasing

Gotta figure if lived in every borough since birth-

I mastered how to navigate through the slums of the earth

One of the first ghetto stars to tuck his jeans in his boots

The "Jakes" grabbed me and i doubt it cause the needed the proof

And the 4 train is where i started to learn

The catacombs of the city while a philly i burned

In turn, i recieved mad summons' in the past

Didn't givem shit cause im hustelin for my cash

Break 3

Aye yo you won't be able to understand

Aye yo you won't be able to understand

Some shit only the GODS will understand

Its the Platformrapform understand

Some shit you won't be able to understand

Some shit you won't be able to understand

Chorus 2

Some chicks dont look this way just cuz i still take the train

But still at least i stay real

Some cops know my first name just cuz i still hop the train

But still at least i stay real

Im not who you should blame just cuz i spray paint the train

But still at least i stay real

You got blown out the frame, tryin to battle me? on the uptown A train

But still at least i stay real

Verse 3

When my "old earth" was pregnant with the GOD in her womb

I took a ride on the train but it was dark in my room

Yo i still felt the presence of the city at large

In the ghetto my family got more credit than charge cards

From the "E" and the "F" in Queens i see niggas stress routine-

And still "b" they pressed for cream

Roosevelt Island trains, only the "B" and the "Q" go

At rushh hour the cars be packed tight like Yugo

From midtown to bowling green all i see is laptop junkies

Embezeling money from stolen dreams

On the "Iron horse" many a scam corrupt the best

You thought it was...but this ain't the "trans europe express"!

Chorus 3

Some chicks dont look this way just cuz i still take the train

But still at least i stay real

Some cops know my first name just cuz i still hop the train

But still at least i stay real

Im not who you should blame just cuz i spray paint the train

But still at least i stay real

You got blown out the frame, tryin to battle me? on the uptown A train

But still at least i stay real

Break 4

Some shit some shit you won't be able to understand

Some shit you wouldn't be able to understand

Some shit you wouldn't be able to understand

Some shit you just can't understand
