[Marlon Craft - The Closing Doors Interlude lyrics]
The train is moving along
I think about it every day
A lot of people doubt it every day
Thinking that it'll be derailed by justice
Even if we don't obstruct it
Just so long as we discuss it
That's a dangerous assumption for real
The motorman was placed there by our enemies
He's driving out of pace to
Inflate all our discrepancies
And hoping that the pain is potent
'Cause when you fight a homie next to you
You both forget to ask
Where the train's going
They aim to privatise
Feed us with the giant lies
Make me believe that you alone
The reason I'm deprived
Designer lines and sign which
The game is played while they line the sides
Watching us scrimmage as we fall
For all the gimmicks
And cops still killing kids 'cause of
What colour that their skin is
And if they make it past bookings
Then they funnelled into prisons
So they can catalyse billions
See, the train work in systems
And when you add 'em up it feel
Like you can't make a difference
After all, you ain't driving, is you?
The motorman got the wheels
Couple conductors
But the people, they all riding with you
And they got their own stops
Ain't troubled with yours
You can't stop the train alone you
Just get stuck in the doors
The information's abundant but the
Facts somewhere out there on the tracks
Near the third rail
You'll learn there about wealth
And all the gaps
About oil companies more powerful
Than any president
'Bout weapons manufacturers cashing in on
Where death is spent
'Bout how we're taught to use and use
But not to love, consume
Buy lots of drugs and technology
Lock us up, in our own minds
Paradigms are redefined and bear in mind that
Who you are is beautiful
And you don't need to wear disguises, but no
The train's moving
There's no time for the truth
But I refuse, I won't abandon the proof
Tries they made to gerrymander the youth
And hope that they fail when I shoot
With any bystander whose tooth begged for
My hand in it's roots
But I won't fall for it
'cause it's freedom over punchlines
The greatest lie's that there ain't no
Power in just one mind
If you would now begin to
Look outside the walls we're confined by
We can stop the train together
The endeavour is ours
The environment is set but see
The weather is ours
But the cleverest bars couldn't
Get you the charge this just an outlet
I can't move you, shit I gotta move me
I be dammed if I'm more than a man
You could've fooled me
But the same things I thought
Were making me weak
Are the same things that are making me speak
I understand that I matter
But I'm finally starting
To get that I matter
And that we's the only matter
More important than me
I think about it every day
A lot of people doubt it every day
Thinking that it'll be derailed by justice
Even if we don't obstruct it
Just so long as we discuss it
That's a dangerous assumption for real
The motorman was placed there by our enemies
He's driving out of pace to
Inflate all our discrepancies
And hoping that the pain is potent
'Cause when you fight a homie next to you
