Hey yo this is the way we lay it down, on the L train
 
 yo help me out now, yo yo
 
  
  Hey yo, Black I need help
 
 I mean immediately and right away
 
 every single day I swear I'm gonna find a better way
 
 my enemies are testing me
 
 dissing me and grilling me
 
 yesterday they cornered me and beat me down repeatedly
  
 
 imagine me now its like I'm Mr. Negativity
 
 its hard when you're packing
 
 devils start attacking
 
 I got no time for running
 
 no time for hiding
 
 now I got my crew and we about to get violent
  
 
 so clear the streets
 
 shake the cops
 
 lets go get these punks
 
 are you all down?
 
 yo nobody better front
 
 Sometimes I am a player
 
 sometimes I am a pawn
 
 No energy to run
 
 but I gotta carry on
  
 
 I resurrect myself
 
 Lazarus he was a man who died
 
 through the power of faith became alive
 
 open up your eyes and spy Lazarus
 
 better yet open up your heart imagine this
  
 
 Riding on the train
 
 Riding on the L train
 
 I don't got no problems no more no more no
 
 Riding on the train
 
 Cruising on the L train
 
 I will reach my destination for sure I know
  
 
 Yo Black help me out
 
 I mean immediately and right away
 
 Meager is my property and I don't got a hideaway
 
 My enemies will badger me
 
 track me down and capture me
 
 yesterday they cornered me and beat me down relentlessly
 
 Imagine me they used to call me Mr. Positivity
 
 Hard when your slacking
 
 Devils are attacking
 
 I get no satisfaction
 
 I get no gratification
 
 In it for myself
 
 No allegiance, or a nation.
 
 To call my own,
 
 From my mind to my microphone
 
 to your ear drum
 
 listen closer 'cause here it comes
 
 Sometimes I am a player
 
 Sometimes I am a pawn
 
 No energy to run still I gots to carry on
  
 
 I resurrect my self
 
 Lazarus he was a man who died
 
 through the power of faith became alive
 
 open up your eyes and spy Lazarus
 
 better yet open up your heart y'all imagine this
  
 
 Riding on the train
 
 Riding on the L train
 
 I don't got no problems no more no more no
 
 Riding on the train
 
 Cruising on the L train
 
 I will reach my destination for sure I know
  
 
 now check it out
 
 to the bright and early morn'
 
 we keep it on
 
 nobody can ever know the patterns that we hold
 
 sometimes we are the players
 
 sometimes we are the pawn
 
 we always carry on
 
 we gotta carry on
  
 
 to the bright and early morn'
 
 we keep it on
 
 nobody can ever know the patterns that we hold
 
 sometimes we are the players
 
 sometimes we are the pawn
 
 we always carry on
 
 we gotta carry on
  
 
 Riding on the train (on the train)
 
 Riding on the L train (on the L train)
 
 I don't got no problems no more no more no
 
 Riding on the train (on the train)
 
 Cruising on the L train
 
 I will reach my destination for sure I know
  
 
 (repeat)
