Lyrics

Watch the closing doors Watch the closing doors Watch the closing doors Watch the closing doors 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 your 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 Watch the closing doors And I'ma watch the closing doors 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 Watch the closing doors Watch the closing doors Watch the closing doors Watch the closing doors 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 till 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 Step lively Step lively Step lively And I'ma watch the closing doors I watch the closing doors Yeah B R double O K L Y N, New York City Takin' you on a transit ride with my man, Branford And I'm out
