Richie Cunning - Night Train lyrics
[Richie Cunning - Night Train lyrics]
I've been down one time
And I been down two times
But now I'm drownin'
Drownin' in the sea of love
Lemme tell you all about it
Approaching inbound, two cars
Mission check, starboard
Mission check in four minutes
Mission check in seven minutes
Check check check it out y'all
Yeah the city was my
First love sittin' on the train thinking
Puddles of rain, traffic lights blinking
Boulevards full of bus stops and bullet scars
Where hard knocks hustling ain't
Nobody trust cops
Cheap cigar smoke in broke apartments
Alleyways cloaked in darkness neon
Lights burning in local markets
And real people with nothing to eat in these
Streets cold and heartless
Sometimes I ride these trains to
The end of the line
Sit in the back, surrender my mind
Ain't no way to better spend my time
Looking out the
Window, I send a rhyme to the
Stars for a friend of mine
I sit and watch all the
Faces pacing through these
Subway stations, just slaves to the pavement
Stash your cash and make sure
You got the right change
'Cos we 'bout to take a
Ride on the night train
Blunts and bags of weed, concrete full of
Cracks, and tags to read cold city full of
Sights that's sad to see but
There really ain't no
Place I'd rather be, uh, yeah
Old timers, crime kings and conquerors
Quiet commoners and anonymous
Street wanderers
Police officers just itching to flash if they
Think for a minute that you
Wasn't kissing they ass
Every corner got a story that was never told
Every street light's seen
Something incredible
Me and the city got a relationship, and
I love her but sometimes I
Just can't take this shit
Lonely souls full of tears and woes wanna get
Off, but we missed our stop years ago
Still ridin', hoping that our life change
But we ain't never getting
Off the night train
And I been down two times
But now I'm drownin'
Drownin' in the sea of love
Lemme tell you all about it
Approaching inbound, two cars
Mission check, starboard
Mission check in four minutes
Mission check in seven minutes
Check check check it out y'all
Yeah the city was my
First love sittin' on the train thinking
Puddles of rain, traffic lights blinking
Boulevards full of bus stops and bullet scars
Where hard knocks hustling ain't
Nobody trust cops
Cheap cigar smoke in broke apartments
Alleyways cloaked in darkness neon
Lights burning in local markets
And real people with nothing to eat in these
Streets cold and heartless
Sometimes I ride these trains to
The end of the line
Sit in the back, surrender my mind
Ain't no way to better spend my time
Looking out the
Window, I send a rhyme to the
Stars for a friend of mine

Faces pacing through these
