“Subway System” is a song about Jimothy’s love of the London Underground Subway System. A large number of things is brought up, such as the sounds, the colors and the people you find down there.
[Chorus]
Getting on the train, getting, getting on the train
London Underground is fast, like it’s just sniffed cocaine
Tickets are expensive, shit ain’t cheap
Girl, the trains about to close, mind the doors, beep, beep
[Verse 1]
If you know, you know, okay, but keep it on the down low
Finna be my tings, don’t get gassed, only show bros
Colours, lines, electricity, that’s my rhythms
Trains are hella fun, constant shows like The Simpsons
If you see them colours, please don’t hate
Have an open mind, think a bit, and try and relate
That’s enough about that, ain’t tryna be bait
Hold up, hang on, wait a second, that’s my train now I’m late
[Verse 2]
Now I’m late, but it’s calm, and she’s chillin’ and I can’t part
Everyone is stressed, like some pigs in some farm
Mandem can’t fit in these little mad trains
Can’t hack this bloody mess, this system is insane
Shit, woah, woah, this train has mad flow
Quick, fast, up and down, like a bloody yo-yo
Damn, yes, my Northern line is running
Peng little line, goes far to Morden, man that’s something
[Chorus]
Getting on the train, getting, getting on the train
London Underground is fast, like it’s just sniffed cocaine
Tickets are expensive, shit ain’t cheap
Girl, the trains about to close, mind the doors, beep, beep
[Verse 3]
Businessman, you’re standing too close to the yellow line
To the, to the yellow line
C’mon bro, you’re making me not feel fine
Plus your bags in front of your legs, you’re out of your mind
And when I’m in the train, people are shy
Social anxiety, man that needs to die
Die out and dry out, but it’s a London thing, why?
When I go abroad, everyone says hi-i
[Verse 4]
Cheeky quick convo on the train to my destiny
Oh there’s not much space, it’s okay, come sit next to me
London public sometimes seem a little bit more serious
If I bump into a businessman he may get furious
But it’s okay, cause I’m ready for the day
Hella moody people in the train, cause the sky is grey
Jimothy is blessed, he’s loving his lifestyle
Riding these lines since young, going mad miles
[Chorus x2]
Getting on the train, getting, getting on the train
London Underground is fast, like it’s just sniffed cocaine
Tickets are expensive, shit ain’t cheap
Girl, the trains about to close, mind the doors, beep, beep
Getting on the train, getting, getting on the train
London Underground is fast, like it’s just sniffed cocaine
Tickets are expensive, shit ain’t cheap
Girl, the trains about to close, mind the doors, beep, beep
[Outro]
Driver, driver, take me to my destiny
You’re going north, south, east, going west of me (west of me, west of me, west of me, west of me, west of me, west of me...)

I’ve always rode the lines when I was young, up and down, to the middle of nowhere and all the way back. In the video I’m just having fun in my natural environment. I’m doing my thing, I’m being me.
