Joell Ortiz Night Train
[Chorus:]
I... I've been going crazy
Working past midnight
Hold on that train
So I let down my trash.
I can't complain
I'm not going to give up
Until the whole world knows my name!
I hate the sound of an alarm clock
I have to get myself up while is still dark.
I can't sleep waiting on the damn train
Last week I almost quit and pop the champagne
To celebrate that I no longer have to struggle
But I get in; in fact I stayed longer and did a double.
I feel like a sell out!
All of my N..ers are hostiles
And my children are getting on me now
And are getting struggle.
So every day I report to this mean guy
I call him boss; swallow my pride when he screams high.
The same work the same ten minute break
The same money is for taxes to the Feds and the State.
The same amount of bills still sitting in the mail
The same elevator full of pee smell
The same TV shows at night while I'm in bed
So this place...
[Chorus]
I... take the comments from the haters
I don't see the big deal
Should they say he's dumb?
I can't believe they say it's energy is the same as pun
He ain't ask for that release...
Ya all crazy ya all listen to the words
Can an adjective describe the noun sitting with the verb?
I'm bigger than the bird
I'm hip-hop's new blackberry.
Yo N..ers still...
But the... like a... that hit the curb.
When they finish with the brick
They couldn't listen to you herbs
You're painful like junk food sitting in the...
So when they say you're top ten
Hell ya! Don't get disturbed!
I turn the MTV and the Cribs it's just observed
And ain't got no money like...
But it won't be long before I'm living in the burgs
Cause I work hard I pray and I'm...
[Chorus:]
I've been a desert I feel like a hundred and forty two old
I wanna chill with the baseball
But I have a...
These backpacks feel heavy when you wanna...
Moving our spot to Afghanistan
Damn I miss my men!
What's the peace about?
I see them sot and screaming and then my dream stops.
The food is extra trash so I ain't eat a lot
But I won't give...
Or pizza shot or snickers... or...
While I'm in the block I wonder...
And...
I'm four and a half hours after
Now it's three o'clock
I've been killing kids in these fricking blocks.
They say you sleep better every time you do a wright thing
Oh yes?
This must be wrong
I'm awake these thoughts are...
[Chorus x3]
