Let the air clear

Music blare

Scream about the rhythm of the subway

Listen to no voices but your own

And the one on the microphone

The only way you wanna go

Wanna fly free?

Wanna go far?

Wanna go fast?

Wanna grip your headphones,

Wanna grip that music

Feel freedom above the streets

Above the rhythm of the subway

While the subway stops for its daily round

That music takes you up

But the city will take you down.
