Nighttrain Lyrics


Land of the free
But the skin I'm in identifies me
So the people around me
Energize me
Callin' all aboard this train ride
Talkin' 'bout raw hardcore
Leavin' frauds on the outside
But the bad thing is anyone can ride the train
And the reason
For that is 'cause we look the same
Lookin' all around at my so called friend
Light skin to the brown
The black
Here we go again
Homey over there knows Keith an
But he be thiefin'
I don't trust him
Rather bust 'em

Up out goes his hand and I cough
He once stole from me
Yeah I wanna cut it off
The black thing is a ride I call the nighttrain
It rides the good and the bad
We call the monkey trained
Trained to attack the black it's true
'Cause some of them look just like you
Stayin' on the scene
Sittin' on the train
See all the faces
Look about the same
There go the sellout who's takin' a ride like Cargo
'Cause he deal
The keys from Key Largo
Runnin' Nat narcotic
By George he got it
Takin' makin' the G erotic
And the fiends they scheme
So he can put 'em down
But his method is wreck 'em
Put 'em in tha ground
Got tha nerve as hell
To yell brother man
He ain't black man
'Cause he ate his Pac Man
Known to murder his own
Traitor on the phone
Ridin' the train
Self-hater trained
To sell pain
The master's toy
Little boy
Hard to avoid he look wit' it but he null 'n' void
'Cause he ridin' the train you think he down for the cause
'Cause his face looks just like yours
The conductor, track the structure overstood
Nighttrain the plain, little engine that could
One express so let's next stops Mecca
A place to face to make a black man better
CL and Chuck D, we don't talk rubbage
But just like a slave, we gotta ride wit the luggage
On the nighttrain
More of the same insane who sayin'
Like flowin' like nighttrain
Runnin' the pain of the black reign
You look, you laugh
You doubt and go out
And I'm gone
But the bass goes on
To talk the talk, but walk the walk
The king of New York
Crack a lack attack the black
To crack the back
Once again I test a friend wit' sincerity
Or consider him an enemy
Who am I to tell a lie
Rather push the Bush
Hope da cracker get crushed
I'm rollin' wit Rush
Leader of the bum rush
Russian I ain't
Spreadin' like paint
Lookin' at the put I got
And its kickin'
But it ain't chicken
But it's livin' for a city
So sick 'n' tired
Of a scene buckwild, piled in a file
Senile or chile
They said it never been no worser
Than this, I'm on the nighttrain
They hope ya don't miss it
Give ya what dey gotta give you just go
You musn't just put your
Trust in every brother yo
Some don't give a damn
'Cause they the other man
Worse than a bomb
Posin' as Uncle Toms
Disgracin' the race
Blowin' up the whole crew
Wit' some of them lookin'
Just like you

Enjoy the lyrics !!!
C.C.C. Inc. is a Dutch folk band that gained nationwide renown when they established a commune in a farmstead where they lived and recorded their albums from 1966 to 1974. The band split up in the mid-1970s, but still get back together on a regular basis for the recording of an album or a tour of Dutch theatres.

The members of the original line-up were Appie Rammers (bass), Ernst Jansz (accordion, piano, washboard, vocals), Huib Schreurs (harmonica, vocals), Jaap van Beusekom (banjo, pedal steel, vocal), Jan Kloos (guitar, mandoline) and Joost Belinfante (vocals). The band's 'finest hour' was probably their performance at the legendary Holland Pop Festival (1970), where C.C.C. Inc. was the only Dutch band playing at the main stage.

After the split of C.C.C. Inc., Jansz and Belinfante went on to form Doe Maar, a band that was become the most succesful Dutch-language band ever and elicited a period of 'Doe Maar mania' in the early 1980s. C.C.C. Inc., however, did continue to record at the old homestead from time to time. These recordings would not see the light of day until, in 2001, the band released its first new album in two decades, Jan, named after original band member Jan Kloos, who had died in 1998. This album is a compilation of the best tracks recorded since 1985.

Since 2004 the group members get back together more regularly than before, mostly for public performances, including a fully-fledged reunion tour in 2007 with Jan Hendriks (of Doe Maar fame) on guitar. This tour coincided with the release of a CD/DVD boxed set containing the bands entire oeuvre to mark the bands 40th anniversary.
