Transit Ride Lyrics - Jazzmatazz, Vol. 1 - Guru

'Watch the closing doors!' (cut and scratched 4X) 

[Guru] 

Right now I'm gonna take you for a ride 

Hold on tight, so you don't slip or slide 

This train is packed, you don't get no seat, yup 

You gotta stand on your tired feet 

Where we goin don't worry, you'll be there in a hurry 

But you better watch you pockets cause the thieves work quickly 

This is a New York transit thing 

Don't wear too much gold and hide your diamond rings 

And don't smile at anyone 

Cause people out here, they like to travel with handguns 

You say you like this trip, well are you sure? 

You better step lively, and watch the 

watch the closing doors 

'Watch the closing doors!' (cut and scratched 3X) 

[Guru] 

Here we go, as we ride, through the underground 

Coming from Uptown, taking you downtown 

Headed for Brooklyn, Brooklyn the planet 

Somebody stinks in here - I hope you can stand it! 

Homeless people everywhere holdin cups for change 

And if you don't have none, they may look at you strange 

But this is all part of the scene 

And yo check those kids cause they're startin to scheme 

See them lookin at you up and down? 

Oh yeah they can tell, that you're somebody from out of town 

Think they won't harm you? Well they might 

And that ain't right, but everyday is like a fight 

'Watch the closing doors!' (cut and scratched 6X) 

[Guru] 

Ah ahh, ahh ahh ahh 

I can't quit, I gotta do what I must 

Cause I can take you on a ride with the lyrics I bust 

Cause I'm a master, try to diss and I'll blast ya 

Any wack MC that steps up, is gettin plastered 

Straight against the wall, cause I don't stall 

I give em drama and trauma, til they all fall 

And for those who don't know, about the city life 

It's where we take no pity, and the kiddies are trife 

Takin the train is just part of it 

The next stop is Brooklyn, you're comin to the heart of it 

You never know what will occur 

So just keep to yourself and watch the closing doors 

'Step lively' (cut and scratched 3x) 'and uhh' 

'Watch the closing doors!' (cut and scratched 2X) 

[Guru] 

Yeah 

B-R-double-O-K-L-Y-N 

New York City 

Takin you on a transit ride with my man Branford 

And I'm out
