91st Street
Down below the street
In between the stations
There’s a lost lost world that’s more than a legend
They came from Grand Concourse, came from Pelham Bay Park A ghost rarely seen, a phantom of art
Well they closed down the station back in 1959
Then they whitewashed the cars; spraypainted trains no longer ran the line But though the writers lost the trains they won the world
And now the platform is a canvas for graffiti from above
No need to shove
Just paint with love
On 91st street
On 91st street
In between the stations take a look the next time you ride the 1 train Past 91st street
Past 91st street
Trap, Dez, Daze, Dondi, Min One and Malta
You don’t have to try hard or put your ear to the wall to
Hear the music that they’re making and the space that they are taking Underground that’s how it is, just some kids, Iz The Wiz
If you want to play the game you gotta pinch your own paint Cause only rich kids pay and this world’s not for saints
And the value of your work won’t be found on an auction block It’s what they say about the style of your piece
Move your feet Lose the heat On 91st street On 91st street
In between the stations take a look the next time you ride the 1 train Past 91st street
Past 91st street
