Outkast - The Train - Текст песни

[Big Boi]

All aboard!

Or, are all y'all bored?

It's good to have y'all back now

Ladies and gents

Y'all already know what it is


[Sample from the movie IDLEWILD]

God don't make no mistakes

God don't make no mistakes


[Big Boi]

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

Twenty always been the five (?) so spittin' I made a change

Like the diaper on the bottom of my baby daughter

I wasn't ready to be no father, made me kind of ...

'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 grab the mic and move the crowd and disappear

Dog, back in '94, that was the motherfucking year home-boy

Then that Southernplayalistic went platinum, stacks on deck

Claims (?) tellin' us to pay our taxes

Walkin' round the table in the kitchen just for practice

Reciting rhymes to sharpen mine, now (?) to the masses


[Sleepy Brown (?)]

It's been a good long road

Now it's time for me to go

I say, Goodbye

(Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye)


Time to spread my wings

So high up in the sky

I can't even fly

(I fly, I fly, I fly so high)


[Big Boi]

Welcome to my life, I think it's time we take  it back

I gotta give you all the facts so you see what type of cat

That you dealing with, now in ATLiens she was killin' it

And then my Auntie passed, she was like my mother, I was illin' it

The first person close to me to die needed healing

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

Like my daddy, angry daddy, Uncle ... was steady chilin'

So you gotta keep on livin' like ... the beginin'


It's your birthday

Even on your worst day

Be like the first day

I'm Antwan Andre

Or General Patton if you know about ... got hurt

I-I-I be on that Kryptonite

That means I can't be hurt


[?]

Gotta leave this place

It's been cool

But I gotta go


[Sleepy Brown (?)]

It's been a good long road

Now it's time for me to go

I say, Goodbye

(Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye)


Time to spread my wings

So high up in the sky

I can't even fly

(I fly, I fly, I fly so high)


[?]

Livin' on a train

Shoulda asked you for remains (?)

I'll be back again


[Sample from the movie IDLEWILD]

I know we've been through a lot, and I ain't perfect, but I swear to you, I'm a changed man.


[?]

Livin' on a train

Shoulda asked you for remains (?)

I'll be back again


[Big Boi]

And 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 ... too

You can achieve anything

That you put your heart in to

See, the second hand won't ever stop

And neither will the clock

Nigga Big still hit the stage

By himself and still rock

'Cause when your faith is in the right place

See, He ain't gon' let you flock

You can say whatever you want

I bet you can't do it like 'Boi Stop'


[Scar]

Before you say you ...

Please no excuse this time

Don't be afraid to fly, fly, fly


You never know what day the doors will close

It's time to say goodbye

Time to pack up and ride, ride, ride


[?]

Gotta leave this place

It's been cool

But I gotta go


[Sample from the movie IDLEWILD (?)]

I can take it from here, ladies. Y'all done a good deed tonight.


[Sleepy Brown (?)]

It's been a good long road

Now it's time for me to go

I say, Goodbye

(Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye)


Time to spread my wings

So high up in the sky

I can't even fly

(I fly, I fly, I fly so high)


[Fade out]
