featuring Branford Marsalis"Watch the closing doors!" (cut and scratched 4X) [Guru] 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 you 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!" (cut and scratched 3X) [Guru] 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!" (cut and scratched 6X) [Guru] 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, til 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" (cut and scratched 3x) "and uhh" "Watch the closing doors!" (cut and scratched 2X) [Guru] Yeah B-R-double-O-K-L-Y-N New York City Takin you on a transit ride with my man Branford And I'm out
