Outkast - The Train lyrics

All aboard

Or all y'all bored?

It's good o have y'all back now

Ladies and gents

Yall already know what it is

God don't make no mistakes

God don't mke no mistakes

Little do they know when I was brought up into this game

Point ain't always in a vibe for spitting I made a change

Like the diaper on the bottom of my baby daughter

I wasn't ready to be no father, maybe, kind of, sorta

'Cause when I saw her I sweat and made a tear fall

Not tears of sorrow but of joy so listen here y'all

I grabbed the mic and moved the crowd then disappeared dog

Back in '94 that was the motherfucking year homeboy

Then that southernplayalistic went platinum

Stacks on deck they ain't tell us to pay our taxes

Walking around the table in the kitchen we was practicing

Reciting rhymes to sharpern minds now lets deliver to the masses

Now the food time roll

Now its time for me to go

I say goodbye, goodbye, goodbye

Time to spread my wings

And high up in the sky

I can fly, I fly, I fly, so high

Welcome to my life I think its time I take it back

I got to give you all the facts s you can see what type of cat

That you dealing with now on ATLiens we was killing it

And then my auntie pass she was like my mother I was feeling it

The first person close to me to die I needed healing

But I see her as an angel when I look up at the ceiling

Like my daddy and grandaddy on both shoulders steady chilling

So you got to keep on living like each day is the beginning

It's yo birthday even on your worst day

Live it like the first day I'm Antwan Andre

Or General Patton if you know bout Purple Ribbon or Got Purp

I, I be on that kryptonite that means I can't be hurt

Gotta leave this place it's been cool but I got to go

Even on the train

Should've ask two per men

I'll be back again

(Know we been though alot I ain't perfect but I swear

to you I'm a changed man)

Even on the train

Should've asked two per men

I'll be back again

(From the caboose)

Now it's time to say goodbye they should've turned me loose

I was all about my team but now I call upon my crew

I'm a family type of person but I'm deadly dolo too

And you can achieve anything that you put your heart into

See the second hand will never stop and neither will the clock

The nigga big still hit the stage by hisself and still rock

When your faith is in the right place see he ain't gon let you flop

You can say whatever you want (Bet you can't do it like me) Boy stop!!

Before you can say you can't at all

There's no excuse this time don't be afraid to fly

You never know what day the doors will close

It's time to say goodbye time to pack up and ride

Got to leave this place it's been cool but I gotta go
