Lyrics to Night Train by Joell Ortiz ft. Novel
Chorus:
I... I've been going crazy
Working past midnight
On that night train
So I lay down my tracks
But I can't complain
I'm not going to give up
'Til the whole world knows my name!
Oh, I...
Hate the sound of that alarm clock
I got to get myself up while it's still dark
Half sleep waiting on that damn train
Last week I almost quit and pop the champagne
To celebrate in longer havin' to struggle
But I didn't, in fact I stayed longer and did a double
I feel like a sell out
All of my ****as hustle
But my children got me not wanting to get in trouble
So everyday I report to this mean guy
Call him boss and swallow my pride when he screams hi
Same work same ten minute break
Same money after taxes to the Feds and the State
Same amount of bills still sitting in the mail
Same elevator full of piss so it smells
Same TV shows at night while I'm in bed
So this plays over and over inside my head
Chorus:
I... I've been going crazy
Working past midnight
On that night train
So I lay down my tracks
But I can't complain
I'm not going to give up
'Til the whole world knows my name!
Oh, I...
Hate the sound of them patrol cars
You see I tried the honest life but it was so hard
So I cashed my last check and bought a couple grams
Now my dough ain't in the bank it's in a rubberband
I'm my own boss don't answer to nobody
When my phone ring I go down to my own lobby
And make a lick in sweat pants no more uniforms
No work boots my feet sit in louis vuitton
When there's drama I make sure that my ruger's drawn
They constantly try and test you, you got to prove 'em wrong
You got to keep your work good, you can't lose your horns
You got to know to be a king, you got to use your pawns
If you ain't there to see somebody else 'cause you was gone
So you still got to be out there before the roosters yawn
You got to duck the d-text when they cruise along
The fast life ain't all that homie you been warned
Chorus:
I... I've been going crazy
Working past midnight
On that night train
So I lay down my tracks
But I can't complain
I'm not going to give up
'Til the whole world knows my name!
Oh, I...
Hate the comments from the haters gums
I don't see the big deal the shit he say is dumb
I can't believe they said his energy's the same as pun's
He ain't ask for that release, Dre gave him one
Y'all crazy y'all don't listen to the words?
How the adjective describes the noun sitting with the verb
I'm bigger than the bird
I'm hip-hop's new Blackberry
Ya'll ****as still mimicking the Curve
I deliver with a swerve like a whip that hit the curb
When they finish with the brick
They couldn't listen to you herbs
Ya'll painful like junk food sitting in the nerves
So when they say you top ten
Hell yeah I get disturbed!
I turn to MTV and the cribs are just absurd
And I ain't got no money like Timbaland and Fert
But it won't be long before I'm living in the burbs
'Cause I work hard I pray and I'm sizzling ya heard?
Chorus [x3]:
I... I've been going crazy
Working past midnight
On that night train
So I lay down my tracks
But I can't complain
I'm not going to give up
'Til the whole world knows my name!
Oh, I...
I... I've been going crazy
Working past midnight
On that night train
