Novel - Night Train lyrics

[Hook: Novel] I... I've been going crazy Working past midnight On that night train So I lay down my tracks But I can't complain I'm not going to give up 'Til the whole world knows my name! Oh, I... [Verse 1: Joell Ortiz] Hate the sound of that alarm clock I got to get myself up while it's still dark Half sleep, waiting on that damn train Last week I almost quit and pop the champagne To celebrate in longer havin' to struggle But I didn't, in fact I stayed longer and did a double I feel like a sell out All of my n***as hustle But my children got me not wanting to get in trouble So everyday I report to this mean guy Call him boss and swallow my pride when he screams high Same work same ten minute break Same money after taxes to the Feds and the State Same amount of bills still sitting in the mail Same elevator full of piss so it smells Same TV shows at night while I'm in bed So this plays over and over inside my head [Hook] [Verse 2: Joell Ortiz] Hate the sound of the patrol cars You see I tried the honest life but it was so hard So I cashed my last check and bought a couple grams Now my dough ain't in the bank, it's in a rubber band I'm my own boss, don't answer to nobody When my phone ring I go down to my own lobby And make a lick in sweatpants, no more uniforms No work boots my feet sit in Louis Vuitton When there's drama I make sure that my Ruger's drawn They constantly try and test you, you got to prove 'em wrong You got to keep your work good, you can't lose your horns You got to know to be a king, you got to use your pawns If you ain't there to see somebody else cause you was gone So you still gotta be out there before the roosters yawn You got to duck the d-text when they cruise along The fast life ain't all that, homie you've been warned [Hook] [Verse 3: Joell Ortiz] Hate the comments from the haters gums: "I don't see the big deal, the sh** he say is dumb" "I can't believe they said his energy's the same as pun's" "He ain't ask for that release, Dre gave him one" Y'all crazy y'all don't listen to the words? How the adjective describes the noun sitting with the verb I'm bigger than the bird I'm hip-hop's new Blackberry Ya'll n***as still mimicking the Curve I deliver with a swerve like a whip that hit the curb When they finish with the brick They couldn't listen to you herbs Ya'll painful like junk food sitting in the nerves So when they say you top ten Hell yeah I get disturbed! I turn to MTV and the cribs are just absurd And I ain't got no money like Timbaland and Fert But it won't be long before I'm living in the burbs Cause I work hard I pray and I'm sizzling ya heard? [Repeat Hook]
