[Verse 1]

Wake up

Your life's run amok

No soul

Left to ante up

[Pre-Chorus]

But going broke has offered this alternative

[Chorus]

I'm taking a train to Brooklyn

I'm gonna learn how to rhyme

I'll change my name to M.C. Something

When I learn how to rhyme

I'm...

[Verse 2]

Way down

Your face I see through

No love

Your reputation precedes you

If I sit any longer, I'm gonna choke and

If you sent any money, I'll still go broke and

We can wait forever for this shit to fly

We'll be losing our minds when it's finally time

[Pre-Chorus]

I'm not so glad I've got my whole life left to live

[Chorus]

I'm taking a train to Brooklyn

To learn how to rhyme

I'm taking a train to Brooklyn (to Brooklyn)

I'll change my name to M.C. Something

When I learn how to rhyme

I'm...

[Bridge]

You know I can't afford to eat, breathe or think

A thing now, babe

A thing now, baby

You know I can't afford to eat, breathe or think

A thing now, babe

A thing now, baby

You know I can't afford to eat, breathe or think

A thing now, babe

A thing now, baby

You know I can't afford to eat, breathe or think

A thing now, babe

A thing now, baby

[Chorus]

I'm taking a train to Brooklyn

To learn how to rhyme

I'm taking a train to Brooklyn (to Brooklyn)

I'll change my name to M.C. Something

When I learn how to rhyme

I'm...
