Yo, turn me up and my microphone
So I can bless God's people
You know Kirk Franklin and tobyMac
On this gospel train
On the J-Train
Aint nothin' but a thang
Come on and lift up your hands
If you wanna get on board
Baby, baby
(I gotta ticket to ride to the other side)
(chorus)
I got a ticket, I got a ticket
(Say what, say what)
I got a ticket to ride
(I gotta a ticket to ride to the other side)
I got a ticket (say what, say what, you gotta what)
I got a ticket (what, what, what, what)
I got a ticket to ride
(If you don't know, now you know, Toby)
Ride, ride wanna ride on the J-Train
On the J-Train, wanna ride on the J-Train
Ride, ride wanna ride on the J-Train
On the J-Train, wanna ride on the J-Train
Sit back, relax put on your travelin' gear
No need to doubt, so put aside your fear
Destination: out of this atmosphere
It's the J-Train baby, we depart from right here
No lines to fight, no ticket to price
I'm rollin' first class 'cause I've seen the light
Try as you may but your money can't buy
A ticket on the J-Line to the other side
(repeat chorus)
Now I missed the train more than once in my life
Til' the good conductor heard my Momma's cry
(That's right, that's right)
Hades to Glory in the blink of an eye
Hear me now, hear me now while I testify
Heard the whistle blow I felt a chill to the bone
All aboard is what I heard and I was headed for home
Had a reclinable seat but I just had to stand
Up on the "J" all the way to the promise land
(repeat chorus)
Say do you wanna ride say
Whoo Whoo
To the other side say
Whoo Whoo
All my people wanna ride say
Whoo Whoo
Get on the Freak-Line
Whoo Whoo
You've got your ticket in your hand say
Whoo Whoo
For the Jesus train say
Whoo Whoo
All my people wanna ride say
Whoo Whoo
All my people wanna ride say
Whoo Whoo
(Up all aboard, up up all aboard)
(This a break down right here)
(Up all aboard, up up all aboard)
(What, what, what, what)
(Up all aboard, up up all aboard)
(Up all aboard, up up all aboard)
I got a, I got a (say what, say what)
I got a, I got a (what, what, what, what)
I got a, I got a
If you wanna ride, lemme hear ya
If you wanna live with God now
If you wanna ride the train now
If you wanna ride the train now
If you wanna ride the train now
Get on the Freak-Line
Clap your hands like this (say what, say what)
Clap your hands like that (what, what, what, what)
Kirk Franklin, tobyMac (say what)
For the two zero zero two
I thought you knew
