Hip-hop aboard the IRT
At the get, South Ferry
I’m the conductor, your man in blue
And I’ll take care of you
Hold on to your hats and your pocketbooks
You with the legs watch out for your looks
Hold on for your life like never before
And watch the closing doors
I said (watch the closing doors!)
The lights are out in car number three
Startin’ early, smokin’ the weed
It’s a beautiful day (Rector Street)
If you’re gettin’ off, give a lady your seat
Watch the closing doors
I said (watch the closing doors!)
(Cortlandt Street)
Car three is flyin’
Car number seven smells like somebody’s dyin’
There’s Percey the Pimp in his usual spot
(World Trade Center next)
Put out the pot!
Watch the closing doors
I said (watch the closing doors!)
Watch the closing doors
I said (watch the closing doors!)
(Chambers, Franklin, Canal, Houston)
Chinatown, eggrolls!
(Christopher Street, Sheridan Square)
Where all the boys go!
I said watch the closing doors
And (watch the closing doors!)
(14th Street)
Give the lady some room
She’s two weeks overdue
St. Vincent’s said she had some time
(Change here for the number two!)
I said (watch the closing doors!)
And (watch the closing doors!)
(18, 23, 28th Street)
Not much happenin’ here
No one gettin’ on, no one gettin’ off
No one got nothing to fear (GUNSHOT)
Muggin’ in the men's room, don’t take a leak
A bum’s on the ground tryin' to sleep
Cop with a nightstick walking the beat
A deadly scream, he’s fast on his feet
Watch the closing doors
I said watch the closing doors
(Penn station, Madison Square)
Seventh & 34
Look out-slam dunk the funk!
Sugar Ray don’t fight here no more
I said watch the closing doors
And (watch the closing doors!)
(Times Square, change for seven)
Shuttle east on your way to heaven
(The deuce!) Paved with sin
Sex and drugs and naked skin
(Times Square, Port Authority)
Hip-hop a bus to New Jersey
(The deuce!)
There's Julio
Breakin' to his radio
(The deuce!)
Don't turn around
The deal goes down without a sound
(The deuce!)
The place to score!
Watch the closing doors
(Watch the closing doors!)
I said (watch the closing doors!) (huh!)
(Watch the closing doors!)
(50th Street, Radio City)
Got tickets to Prince and you're looking pretty
Guardian Angels walking on through
And they'll take care of you
(59th, Coliseum)
Uptown, downtown
Brooklyn, Queens
Change for the A to Washington Heights
Uptown, downtown
See the sights
Double C to Far Rockaway
Hit the beach if just for a day
Coney Island, Dub, D, or B
Ride the coaster and see the sea
Here comes one, lost his leg in Nam
Uses his skateboard to get around
All neighborhood kids, starting to mix
6-6-7-2-7-9-8-6!
Artists, actors, working-class boys
Watch the closing doors
I said (watch the closing doors!)
(Watch the closing doors!) (huh huh huh)
(Watch the closing doors!) (ha ha)
(Watch the closing doors!)
(subway screeching sound)
Holy snap, what was that!
Must be trouble down the track
Coffee break, I'll relax
This could take some time
Hey bro! Yo conductor!
Remember that thing from 14th street?
Well she's having a baby right there on the seat
Percey the Pimp is trying to deliver
She's gonna need all the help we can give her
Walked by, there, holding her hair
She's yelling for a dude named Floyd
Julio's taking bets on the buck
Five to one it's a boy
It's a boy! It's a boy!
(96th Street next)
We got the motion back in the loco
Put out your S.O.S
Watch the closing doors
I said (watch the closing doors!)
(103 and 110th)
Juanita's looking sweeter from end to end
116th, flying by
Preppy girls - intellectualize
(125th and Broadway)
Land of the fight
Land of the might
(137th)
Last stop, Harlem USA
Last stop, all off, Harlem USA
Last stop, all off
(Watch the closing doors!)
(I say) Last stop, all off, Harlem USA!
Last stop, all off, Harlem USA!
Last stop, all off, Harlem USA!
