Transit Ride - Guru/Branford Marsalis

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
