The Train Lyrics

[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]
