The title of the song is most likely a reference to the song, “Take the ‘A’ Train” by iconic jazz pianist Duke Ellington: however, Standing on the Corner’s member and performer Gio Escobar shifts the set within the New York Subway system, where the letter on the train corresponds to the destination...
[Intro]
(Like a train)
[Verse 1]
Motherfuckin' right I been waiting long
Like come on C, what you think I'm standing here for?
We a dying force on this iron horse
Can't even steal phones no more
Not like I used to
And them four crackheads deserve AC too
Cus there's always crackheads
I hate to see 'em sweat
Like come on C, you got the tunnel black on me
And I only knew you blue
Like I'm last in the race, all you think we for is to wait
Waiting for good court decisions like they comin'
Waiting your tables
Waiting for you to let us know if we're qualified
Like it's comin'
Waiting at the ER to die, like 'God I'm comin'
Come on C, late ain't no way to be
[Chorus]
There's a train that runs underground
And it's got a big fat A on it
No C, just big fat A's on 'em
I'm late to where I wanna go
Fast for them, for me always slow
Please take me where I gotta go
(What time is it? It's nation time)
[Verse 2]
Should I never be free?
Not as long as they get 3 A's and I don't see one C
Like I suck at school like come on C
Should I never be free
Not as long as they get all the seats and there's none for me
And I'd walk if it wasn't for these feet that won't let me be
If I stand here, I'm lazy
If I run, I'm escaping
Get shot down for aping
And there goes my day and shit
Yeah, y'all can have the C
Late ain't no way to be
Late ain't no way to be
[Chorus]
There's a train that runs underground
And it's got a big fat A on it
No C, just big fat As on 'em
I'm late to where I wanna go
Fast for them, for me always slow
Please take me where I gotta go
Take me where I gotta go
Please take me where I gotta go
Fast for them, for me always slow
[Outro]
I can really be free?
I can really be free?
I can really be free?
And all around me
People are screaming
Nation time!
Nation time!
Nation time!
Nation time!
Shit, here it come again!
Here it come again!
Here it come again!
Here it come again!
Here it come again!
