Artist/Band: Public Enemy
Lyrics for Song: Nighttrain
Lyrics for Album: Best 1200 [2005]



Land of the free



But the skin I'm in identifies me



So the people around me



Energize me



Callin' all aboard this train ride



Talkin' 'bout raw hardcore



Leavin' frauds on the outside



But the bad thing is anyone can ride the train



And the reason



For that is 'cause we look the same



Lookin' all around at my so called friend



Light skin to the brown



The black



Here we go again



Homey over there knows Keith an



But he be thiefin'



I don't trust him



Rather bust 'em



Up out goes his hand and I cough



He once stole from me



Yeah I wanna cut it off



The black thing is a ride I call the nighttrain



It rides the good and the bad



We call the monkey trained



Trained to attack the black it's true



'Cause some of them look just like you



Stayin' on the scene



Sittin' on the train



See all the faces



Look about the same



There go the sellout who's takin' a ride like Cargo



'Cause he deal



The keys from Key Largo



Runnin' Nat narcotic



By George he got it



Takin' makin' the G erotic



And the fiends they scheme



So he can put 'em down



But his method is wreck 'em



Put 'em in tha ground



Got tha nerve as hell



To yell brother man



He ain't black man



'Cause he ate his Pac Man



Known to murder his own



Traitor on the phone



Ridin' the train



Self-hater trained



To sell pain



The master's toy



Little boy



Hard to avoid he look wit' it but he null 'n' void



'Cause he ridin' the train you think he down for the cause



'Cause his face looks just like yours



The conductor, track the structure overstood



Nighttrain the plain, little engine that could



One express so let's next stops Mecca



A place to face to make a black man better



CL and Chuck D, we don't talk rubbage



But just like a slave, we gotta ride wit the luggage



On the nighttrain



More of the same insane who sayin'



Like flowin' like nighttrain



Runnin' the pain of the black reign



You look, you laugh



You doubt and go out



And I'm gone



But the bass goes on



To talk the talk, but walk the walk



The king of New York



Crack a lack attack the black



To crack the back



Once again I test a friend wit' sincerity



Or consider him an enemy



Who am I to tell a lie



Rather push the Bush



Hope da cracker get crushed



I'm rollin' wit Rush



Leader of the bum rush



Russian I ain't



Spreadin' like paint



Lookin' at the put I got



And its kickin'



But it ain't chicken



But it's livin' for a city



So sick 'n' tired



Of a scene buckwild, piled in a file



Senile or chile



They said it never been no worser



Than this, I'm on the nighttrain



They hope ya don't miss it



Give ya what dey gotta give you just go



You musn't just put your



Trust in every brother yo



Some don't give a damn



'Cause they the other man



Worse than a bomb



Posin' as Uncle Toms



Disgracin' the race



Blowin' up the whole crew



Wit' some of them lookin'



Just like you
