UPTOWN Q
A. Roman - R. Steel


Off from the train, where you get that smell
trucks and scum and street meat and its hot as hell
A busking strummin' mister with a face to match
says he's lost and could I help him find his way back
Help me, dude, he said it freaking, dont know what to do
You'll find it if you just take the Uptown Q.

Monkey diving killer biking 'cross Broadway
Chaos smells like duck, and beer and old shrimp paste
Davey's sure the middle card is black, but he dont play
Dealer says that you'll be sorry if you walk away
Davey grabs a pretzel and a cold yoo hoo
Then quickly slips away to the grab the Uptown Q

Junkies on the ferries, singers at the gate
race and grind and killing just to hurry up and wait
Lady grabbed a blade and said "I know a better way"
Then lost her cell and money on an outbound A
Tried to switch and wound up at the Prospect Park Zoo
This never would have happened on an Uptown Q

All the 'Chocks" are Dunkins now, all the phones are smart
And if you time your jumping right, don't need a MetroCard
Mikey says he'd rather spend the money on a slice
Jumping stiles, Mikey say, "I get it. Ain't too nice.
I'll take my chance, I never had a problem on the 2.
but I'd always drop the coin to take an Uptown Q.

Gonna take the Uptown Q
Find it riding on the Uptown Q
Gonna make it on the Uptown Q
Na, na, na, na on the Uptown Q
ooooh, make the Uptown Q
Make it, make it, make it, gonna make an Uptown Q
