The song is a quirky, jazz inspired hip hop song about jumping the train. Written by Myself and produced by The Mouse Outfit, the song captures the Hip Hop sound of Manchester.
lyrics
Here’s the situation
Im waiting at the station,
Checking my account busy contemplating,
Is the journey that I’m taking e worth the money that I’m making
I don’t think on it too kind or else i'll end up player hating
maybe disintegrating into silly sand,
blowing to another land where I can
Start again and pick a different path
I'm on a tangent I know,
But this early in the morning that's just where my thoughts go
Plus the train is late again so you know what i'm tryin,
Noone pays me when i'm late, the grind is the grind
So I’ll be damned if you see me buy a ticket today
Still, I check my bank again, thinking maybe it's changed
But it's the same so guess it's safe to say
Even though dont drive imma take the freeway
They say life if like a box of chocolate
But honestly i’ve just never got it
It’s more like you’re bumping train at the end of the day
we’re all tryna cutting some loses
They say life if like a box of chocolate
But honestly i’ve just never got it
It’s more like you’re bumping train coz at the end of the day
we’re all tryna cutting some loses
Its arrives it’s about time
I can’t get public transport with sighing
Coz it’s never worth the ticket that i'm not buying
What’s at the corner of my eye nah you must be lying
I see a man in a bright jacket
In his hand is pad and mad gadget
Now i aint never been to act classes
But if they catch me I’m going ghost like saint patrick
Shaolin showdown with the ticket warden
Duck and dive, acting like I aint even saw them,
Theyre by-products of the babylonia
So if i dont by a ticket, its selassie i am giving honour
On my fake woke ish
Something that you say on a stage for clicks
City girls take risks,
So if i don't have to i wont pay for it
They say life if like a box of chocolate
But honestly i’ve just never got it
It’s more like you’re bumping train coz at the end of the day we’re all tryna cutting some loses
They say life if like a box of chocolate
But honestly i’ve just never got it
It’s more like you’re bumping train coz at the end of the day
we’re all tryna cutting some loses
