Ayo, this is the way we lay it down

On the L train

A-yeah, help me out now, yeah, yeah, yeah

Ayo, Black, I need help, I mean immediately and right away

Every single day, I swear, I'm gonna find a better way

My enemies are testing me, dissin' me and grillin' me

Yesterday, they cornered me, and beat me down repeatedly

Imagine me, now, it's like I'm Mister Negativity

It's hard when you're packing, devils start attacking

Got no time for running, no time for hiding

No, no

Now I got my crew and we about to get violent

So clear the street, shake the cops, let's go get these punks

Are you all down? Yo, nobody better front

Sometimes I am a player, sometimes I am a pawn

Yeah, pawn

No energy to run, but I gotta carry on

I resurrect myself, Lazarus, he was a man who died

Through the power of faith, he came to rise

Open up your eyes and spy, Lazarus

Better yet, open up your heart, y'all imagine this

Riding on the train

Riding on the L train

I don't got no problems no more, no more, no

Riding on the train

Cruising on the L train

I will reach my destination for sure, I know

Ayo, Black, help me out, I mean immediately and right away

Meager is my property and I don't got a hideaway

My enemies will badger me, track me down and capture me

Yesterday, they cornered me, and beat me down with heresy

Imagine me, they used to call me Mister Positivity

Hard when you're slacking, devils are attacking

I get no satisfaction, I get no gratification

No, no

In it for myself, no allegiance, or a nation

To call my own, from my mind to my microphone

To your eardrum, listen close 'cause here it come

Sometimes I am a player, sometimes I am a pawn

No energy to run, still I gotta carry on

I resurrect myself, Lazarus, he was a man who died

Through the power of faith, he came to rise

Open up your eyes and spy, Lazarus

Better yet, open up your heart, y'all imagine this

Riding on the train

Riding on the L train

I don't got no problems no more, no more, no

Riding on the train

Cruising on the L train

I will reach my destination for sure, I know

Now, check it out

To the bright and early morn', we keep it on

Nobody can ever know the planets that we on

Sometimes we are the players, sometimes we are the pawns

We always carry on, we gotta carry on

To the bright and early morn', we keep it on

Nobody can ever know the planets that we on

Sometimes we are the players, sometimes we are the pawns

We always carry on, we gotta carry on

Riding on the train

On the train

Riding on the L train

On the L train

I don't got no problems no more, no more, no

Riding on the train

On the train

Cruisin' on the L train

I will reach my destination for sure, I know

Riding on the train

On the train

Riding on the L train

On the L train

I don't got no problems no more, no more, no

Riding on the train

On the train

Cruisin' on the L train

I will reach my destination for sure, I know

The supernatural forces of everything that's good

The supernatural forces of everything that's good

Yo, New York, we gonna hit you with another new one we been workin' on

It's about y'all, for the faithful, freak love

How that shit go?

This is wicked

Aight, you gotta get busy with this one

Uh-huh
