Land of the free
But the skin I`m in identifies me
So the people around me
Energize me
Callin` all aboard this train ride
Talkin` `bout raw hardcore
Leavin` frauds on the outside
But the bad thing is anyone can ride the train
And the reason
For that is `cause we look the same
Lookin` all around at my so called friend
Light skin to the brown
The black
Here we go again
Homey over there knows Keith an
But he be thiefin`
I don`t trust him
Rather bust `em
Up out goes his hand and I cough
He once stole from me
Yeah I wanna cut it off
The black thing is a ride I call the nighttrain
It rides the good and the bad
We call the monkey trained
Trained to attack the black it`s true
`Cause some of them look just like you
Stayin` on the scene
Sittin` on the train
See all the faces
Look about the same
There go the sellout who`s takin` a ride like Cargo
`Cause he deal
The keys from Key Largo
Runnin` Nat narcotic
By George he got it
Takin` makin` the G erotic
And the fiends they scheme
So he can put `em down
But his method is wreck `em
Put `em in tha ground
Got tha nerve as hell
To yell brother man
He ain`t black man
Known to murder his own
Traitor on the phone
Ridin` the train
Self-hater trained
To sell pain
The master`s toy
Little boy
Hard to avoid he look wit` it but he null `n` void
`Cause he ridin` the train you think he down for the cause
`Cause his face looks just like yours
More of the same insane who sayin`
Like flowin` like nighttrain
Runnin` the pain of the black reign
You look, you laugh
You doubt and go out
And I`m gone
But the bass goes on
To talk the talk, but walk the walk
The king of New York
Crack a lack attack the black
To crack the back
Once again I test a friend wit` sincerity
Or consider him an enemy
Who am I to tell a lie
Rather push da bush
Hope da cracker get crushed
I`m rollin` wit` rush
Leader of the bum rush
Russian I ain`t
Spreadin` like paint
Lookin` at the put I got
And its kickin`
But it ain`t chicken
But it`s livin` for a city
So sick `n` tired
Of a scene buckwild, piled in a file
Senile or chile
They said it never been no worser
Than this, I`m on the nighttrain
They hope ya don`t miss it
Give ya what dey gotta give you just go
You musn`t just put your
Trust in every brother yo
Some don`t give a damn
`Cause they the other man
Worse than a bomb
Posin` as Uncle Toms
Disgracin` the race
Blowin` up
The whole crew
Wit` some of them lookin`
Just like you
