I think "I've just been a witness to somethin sick and sadistic so twistedly disgusting you should feel real lucky you missed it" is my favorite flow in any rap ever
It’s called the lab rats - devils train the person who posted it is called dreams mask music video is hot, it must’ve been added recently. I hope this helps!
I know Brian, and that's how I found this song. He never told me about it, but his wife told me to watch it sometime. I think it is absolutely brilliant. These guys filmed and produced this by themselves. I cant ever get tired of it, it came up in my feed, and I immediately watched it. I may re-watch it tonight. It's a lot to digest, if you listen and follow the story, it's worth it.
Perhaps the devil’s train is something that only appears after death. Could be why the devil wondered what a ‘young dude’ was doing by the tracks. The lad could’ve died, overdosed or been hit by a train. The ‘birth of sadness’ could be the grief others feel after a loved one’s death.
@@invisibleghost3820 he died jumping out the window, bad trip say granddad an bailed out the nearest window, after that everything gets odd by orders of magnitude
Probably because Lab Rats were a somewhat obscure local rap group out of Columbus Ohio. I used to love watching these guys at "Comfest" every year. They'd have all those stoners bouncing at the off-ramp stage. I was bummed when they broke up (I assume). Haven't seen or heard from them for years.
A song is only going to become popular of millions of teenagers and young adults give it popularity. Nowadays this song isnt 'hip' enough to catch their interest.
This song is eerily relatable in a way. I used to hear train whistles every night, even though I live nowhere near a train. Even if I wasn’t at home, I would still hear the whistling of the train. Turns out, those we’re hallucinations. I’m on meds now for it, and I don’t hear them anymore. Just a little fun fact :3
@@OoglieWoogliee I don't hear it at morning, but when it's at midnight. It sounds like somebody, is trying to scare me like. There's ringing in my ear, and it does that nose from a horror movie
I hear train whistles and random melancholy piano songs as auditory hallucinations. The occasional scream as well. After telling my psychiatrist she said it was fine.
i love the grey scale color theme, along with the flashes of light and the glitchyness of the camera all these details just have a very pleasant touch to it i love it
Probably helps that they apparently recorded this on a $60 camcorder (one of the members of the band replied that they did on another comment here). So it's got a really found footage type of vibe.
I love how nobody realizes this song is based on hallucinations and potentially Schizophrenia. Sounds like the grandfather had an episode and wandered off, ended up getting hit by the train. And Schizophrenia is hereditary... so the grandson may have it as well, seeing visions of his grandpa, the devil, and the train.
I didn't think of it as schizophrenia. More like the grand father unknowingly made a deal with the devil near the train tracks, when he gets on the train he goes to hell or something, but he warns his daughter that his grandson might do the same thing as he did. Which the grandson did, he also made a deal with the devil. That's what I got from the song at least. It could be schizophrenia because he was being called to the train tracks.
And drugs?? That has absolutely NOTHING to do with it, right, Doctor? Thanks for your input, but, I'm gonna look elsewhere. Haha He's talking about his family's drug addictions. Read about it, or watch his interview about the song. Sheesh, what a long winded way to say you have no idea.
@@theronpeavey8854 woah calm the fuck down it was a theory not the end of the world jeez maybe they haven't seen the interview I sure haven't not everybody has
I'm a huge Gravity Falls fan and even I'm sick of seeing the words "Bill's Train" in the comments. Sure it brought me here but I'm here to enjoy the music.
I was at a wake yesterday and saw Brian whom I hadn’t seen since high school. We talked for a while and he was the most down to earth guy, just like in the late 90s . I had no idea he had formed this group. We were talking music and the lab rats came up in passing. I got home last night and listened . This is so freaking good! Brian was always the most talented kid when we were young and wow doesn’t this prove it. He’s still super chill and just doing his thing living a quiet life. I could have spoken with him for hours…
This song reminds me of when I lived at college. My dorm was right next to the tracks that cut through the campus and one night, really late (probably like 1am) I heard this really low, really melancholy train horn. i look out my window and there's a passenger train (this is normally a freight train track) with green glowing windows very slowly going by. A literal Devils Train lol. (I should probably mention it was October so this was likely a halloween thing)
i used to hear a train whistle coming from places where i shouldnt hear it. like 1 time when i was at high school, i heard it from behind a tall hedge, or something and i chased after the sound
@@MegaMegajennifer its a condition where you hear high pitch noises in your ear randomly. I thought that maybe the train whistling noise was maybe because of tinnitus. I could be wrong though
I love living near train tracks. It's eerie listening to this song, the clock hits midnight, you hear the loud train chucking down the woods becoming more distant.
the beat, the verses, the flow, the story, the video. perfect to the smallest detail. this immaculate little work of art has been blowing my mind for over a decade and it just keeps hittin. it’s a masterpiece so complete it makes you wonder if it might have cost a soul.
Lyrics [Verse 1] My grand-pops was a man of respect, had to sweat Just to cash checks working from sunrise to set Every day he'd get challenged, no trades or talents Barely scraped by, he found faith to balance The straight line and pace, feeling worn and gray Poor with four seeds, one more on the way It was hard days indeed, all work and no play He made sure things on the surface were okay, but Something disturbin' within his mind was lurkin' A slight twilight breeze would ease in through the curtains at night It's like the sermon of a twisted apparition Was urging him to listen to the train in the distance At first it wasn't intense, just one little instance Sure it didn't occur, he turned to resist it As if it wasn't much more than just a figment Of his imagination, but for days it was persistent And it went; "Follow me, follow me. Follow me, follow me" Then it got louder "Follow me, follow me. I have something to show you" [Verse 2] With time people noticed he was actin' berserk Granny got a call saying he was absent from work And that was a first She ran to the pastor at church To ask him what was up with this disastrous curse But bad went to worse He came back three days after No money in his wallet and his shirt on backwards Stumbling, walked awkward, he called out for his daughter Right before he split the last lesson he taught her was this; "If you ever have a son, let him know That his granddad loves him, but by the time that he's grown Be sure this seed is sown deep down into his dome; Don't ever, ever walk to the train tracks alone" With that, he backed up, reached out for his jacket Told her not to act up and cracked up laughin' After all that happened, he left, never to be seen Fifteen years later is when my mother had me Her dad lived a life people can't understand Went from a family man to rambling man A gambling man that burned both ends of the candle Folded his hand in, it was too hot to handle [Chorus] Sitting on the tracks waiting for the night train Looking down the road, ain't never gonna go back Listen for the whistle through the wind and raindrop Who's gonna ride the devil's train tonight? Sitting on the tracks waiting for the night train Looking down the road, ain't never gonna go back Listen for the whistle through the wind and raindrop Who's gonna ride the devil's train tonight? [Verse 3] When I was a tot, my mom dropped fables and stories To warn me of the dangers that were layin' before me To keep it interestin' she would hide the lesson To guide my direction, provide the right message In time I developed a sense of her embellishment Since I was rebellious against what she was tellin' me When I was a teen I pretended that my demons were friends I defended the place, yo, and that was the case Slurred speech drippin' off of my face The world creeped as I slipped to the awfulest place you could imagine Not the average things you see on acid My granddad bloody, hovering on a speaker cabinet Laughing in a raspy tone, covered in maggots That snacked on his mass to the bone, I couldn't grasp it Did a double dismount off of the couch, flipped out Broke the closest window I found, then I dipped out Suddenly, I discovered little voices mumbling up in my head It had me wondering what was it my mother said Back when I was younger, it had my brain wracked As I stumbled off in the night towards the train tracks [Chorus] Sitting on the tracks waiting for the night train Looking down the road, ain't never gonna go back Listen for the whistle through the wind and raindrop Who's gonna ride the devil's train tonight? Sitting on the tracks waiting for the night train Looking down the road, ain't never gonna go back Listen for the whistle through the wind and raindrop Who's gonna ride the devil's train tonight? [Verse 4] So there I was, stalking through the dark with a buzz I figured I should walk, that'll ease me off of these drugs It's like a shark, had to keep movin', it's that or be ruined; If I sat still I was doomed, and that wasn't doin' So I marched through the park slow, gone like Donnie Darko The sparkle of the starlight glowed like charcoal Despite my demeanor, the night seemed more serene Than a morphine fiend in a morgue, it seemed like I'd lost it That was when my grand-pops' carcass emerged from the dark Gurgling his words of carnage, but he couldn't talk Something about the birth of sadness I scurried off; I was on the verge of madness I raced, fast-paced, and the landscape was strange Like a plane parallel to this one but rearranged Came to a slope that was steep, beggin' for sleep As I climbed up, taking my focus off of the creeps Within the foggy distance, I saw a silhouette that got bigger as I stepped The train tracks were wet I saw a shiny grin from afar like it was happy This is what he said as he started to walk past me: "It's a nice night for a walk, would ya mind if I joined you?" "Do what you wanna do" "Well that's great, 'cause I'm going to And not to annoy you but, see, I really have to ask What a young dude like you's doin' out by the tracks? You waitin' on a train?" "Nah, man, let me explain" "Alright" "I'm mindin' my business so maybe you should do the same I just been a witness to something sick and sadistic So twistedly disgusting you should feel real lucky you missed it" "Ooh, but easy with the tongue, son, try to listen carefully What you've seen's scary, but nothing when compared to me I could show you things to paint all your dreams haunted I could make you scream if I wanted Or I can be the bee in your bonnet, your best friend forever Two peas in a pod flockin' like birds of a feather And you never have a need to beg, work, or steal If all this sounds worth it then let's make a deal All you want in life for price of your soul All the money you can fold, power that you can hold I'll put you in control Only if you're down to roll down these train tracks tonight" "But where we gonna go?" [Chorus] Sitting on the tracks waiting for the night train Looking down the road, ain't never gonna go back Listen for the whistle through the wind and raindrop Who's gonna ride the devil's train tonight? Sitting on the tracks waiting for the night train Looking down the road, ain't never gonna go back Listen for the whistle through the wind and raindrop Who's gonna ride the devil's train tonight?
@@an-Ty-christ I wrote and performed the chorus, (that's me in the video) and Brian wrote the verses :) I wrote and sang it as "rain now." So I promise.

I totally want to hear the story behind this song. How did they come up with it? Legends? Drugs? Dreams? It seems like it would be worth sitting down and listening to.
Sho Sekiguchi it’s the schizophrenia. There aren’t paranormal spirits involved. Took me a long time to get back to reality and figure it all out. They had me convinced I was a God or high ranking angel sent here to judge the earth and be the start of the end or the start of a new beginning. It’s all in your head, just like it was and is in mine.
Lotta interesting speculation about the meaning of the lyrics but seems like no one has pointed out the lines about gambling. The grandfather was a gambler by the end, turned up after disappearing with his wallet empty and shirt on backwards. The narrators mother told stories that were embellished to warn him “don’t go to the train tracks alone”, the “devil” offers “all the money you can fold”. The Devils Train is a casino, illegal and underground that operates somewhere along the train tracks. The grandfather knew it was out there and eventually was tempted enough to try to improve his fortune and lost himself, the narrator stumbles out there in a drug addled haze and falls victim to it as well.
I am generally sad that I can't find this on Spotify. I would so listen to this on loop. Such a good song Edit: oh wow Im surprised im still getting replies 2 years later. Let me clarify something. I don't mean episodes from podcasts uploaded by other people. Because most of the time these are uploaded without the original creator's permission and you can't save it to your own playlist.
Unfortunately, these guys have been broken up since '07. Had a lot of good memories at shows back then. Different times, when not all the same tools were available to artists like now.
THIRTEEN YEARS AGO?! Holy shit, for some reason it didn’t seem like a 2007 bop. To me it sounded like a new age (mid 2000s) rapper emulating old school rap (circa 1990s) because the whole thing just sounds so...unique? I can’t explain it. Shame that a lot of us found this late, I was fucking 7 when this vid released lol and now it’s 2020! And that this guy never really got big because this man can _spit_ . So much potential.
Yeah, especially for those of us in their scene who went to shows and watched them get "discovered" not once, but twice now, with no idea if either of them are profiting from it.
I'd love to make a movie out of this song. I can already picture so many good visuals. And since nobody knows the end of this song, the ending would be so unexpected
I looked up the group that made this song and I see that they haven’t been active since like 2007. I wonder what happened to these guys. I honestly wish they still made music, because this is such a cool song.
@@luciddreaming4478 There really isn't much to say; they simply disbanded in 2007 after the release of Half Full Ashtrays, Half Empty Glasses, most likely because they wanted to pursue different musical avenues.

I was introduced to the lab rats a couple years ago from a recommendation on sound cloud. I still believe this is an entertaining story told in song form. I don't consider it one of the greatest raps I've heard but it is enjoyable none the less. Even if Tik Tok is a cringe fest I'm glad it's giving some attention to devil's train.
I happen to have found this a few times from tiktok, and only now have I actually cared to check it out. I'm so glad I did. The people there suck and it is quite terrible 99% of the time, but god DAMN there are some bops there ^^
it’s been years since i’ve heard this song and today it just randomly appeared in my recommended again. this kind of music is something i completely forgot about but am now refalling in love with, it was a different time when this came out for sure
Discovered this song years ago. I love horror and dark themes, and addiction and other bad shit has rooted itself deep into my family tree. Lost my brother to it, metaphorically lost my father to it, losing my other brother to it as i type, not to mention my own vices. Also the shitty small town i live in has a train you can hear from anywhere. Anyways, love this song such a bop 🙏🙏🙌
I thought this song was just catchy at first, but if you really go through the lyrics and analyze the flow, this track is actually fuckin amazing. This flow could almost rival Biggie, it's actually insane.
This song could be a show of un treated schizophrenia. The granddad had an episode, possibly going on in prescribed meds, then warning his daughter to not let her son go on the same pass he had, of course the son did. He was on acid as he mentioned, the vision of his granddad could be caused by the mix of acid and his passed down schizophrenia. He quickly left due to wanting to leave. He went to the train. The devil, is a vision of the train. If you listen quite closely as he talks sounds of trains can be heard. And the description “that got bigger as i stepped, the train tracks were wet, he had a smile like he was happy” The words “bigger as he stepped, the train tracks were wet” It was the train closing in on him, or right after he had hit him the tracks were wet with soaking blood. His smile was the lights. The end :D
One of the most unique rap songs I think I've ever heard... in a good way. I wish they would come out with more music. And if they have new stuff, someone please tell me where to find it!

"Nah, man, let me explain" "Alright" "I'm mindin' my business so maybe you should do the same I just been a witness to something sick and sadistic So twistedly disgusting you should feel real lucky you missed it" "Ooh, but easy with the tongue, son, try to listen carefully What you've seen's scary, but nothing when compared to me I could show you things to paint all your dreams haunted I could make you scream if I wanted Or I can be the bee in your bonnet, your best friend forever Two peas in a pod flockin' like birds of a feather And you never have a need to beg, work, or steal If all this sounds worth it then let's make a deal All you want in life for price of your soul All the money you can fold, power that you can hold I'll put you in control Only if you're down to roll down these train tracks tonight" "But where we gonna go?" [Chorus] Sitting on the tracks waiting for the night train Looking down the road, ain't never gonna go back Listen for the whistle through the wind and raindrop Who's gonna ride the devil's train tonight? Sitting on the tracks waiting for the night train Looking down the road, ain't never gonna go back Listen for the whistle through the wind and raindrop Who's gonna ride the devil's train tonight?
I haven’t listened to this in years and I’ve never seen the original video until now. This is exactly how my brain imagined the singers, the evil man, the house and the environment. It’s almost scary how accurate my imagination was to the real mv. (This will never stop being one of my favorite songs regardless)

I know Brian, and that's how I found this song. He never told me about it, but his wife told me to watch it sometime. I think it is absolutely brilliant. These guys filmed and produced this by themselves. I cant ever get tired of it, it came up in my feed, and I immediately watched it. I may re-watch it tonight. It's a lot to digest, if you listen and follow the story, it's worth it.

Perhaps the devil’s train is something that only appears after death. Could be why the devil wondered what a ‘young dude’ was doing by the tracks. The lad could’ve died, overdosed or been hit by a train. The ‘birth of sadness’ could be the grief others feel after a loved one’s death.
He probably got hit by the train
Would also make sense why he would be so creepy when he says, “You waitin on a train?”
@@invisibleghost3820 he died jumping out the window, bad trip say granddad an bailed out the nearest window, after that everything gets odd by orders of magnitude

We shot it on a ~$60 camcorder, so this look and feel came with the territory :)

I feel like it fits
Probably because Lab Rats were a somewhat obscure local rap group out of Columbus Ohio. I used to love watching these guys at "Comfest" every year. They'd have all those stoners bouncing at the off-ramp stage. I was bummed when they broke up (I assume). Haven't seen or heard from them for years.
SilentX Whisper9 I feel like you just answered your own question.
That "You waitin' on a train" at 4:40 always gives me goosebumbs. Such a creepy line

Extremely underrated song. This is honestly one of my favorite songs and it really needs more recognition.

Yeah. Actually reminds me of another song, The Distance by Cake
A song is only going to become popular of millions of teenagers and young adults give it popularity. Nowadays this song isnt 'hip' enough to catch their interest.

This song is eerily relatable in a way. I used to hear train whistles every night, even though I live nowhere near a train. Even if I wasn’t at home, I would still hear the whistling of the train. Turns out, those we’re hallucinations. I’m on meds now for it, and I don’t hear them anymore. Just a little fun fact :3
i live in a railroad town and also have auditory hallucinations so every time i hear a train whistle i have to ask someone if it was real
@@mammoneymelon Same
We have train tracks near our house, I usually don’t hear the train but my friend who lives right next to the tracks probably does
@@OoglieWoogliee I don't hear it at morning, but when it's at midnight. It sounds like somebody, is trying to scare me like. There's ringing in my ear, and it does that nose from a horror movie
I hear train whistles and random melancholy piano songs as auditory hallucinations. The occasional scream as well. After telling my psychiatrist she said it was fine.

I love how nobody realizes this song is based on hallucinations and potentially Schizophrenia. Sounds like the grandfather had an episode and wandered off, ended up getting hit by the train. And Schizophrenia is hereditary... so the grandson may have it as well, seeing visions of his grandpa, the devil, and the train.
I didn't think of it as schizophrenia. More like the grand father unknowingly made a deal with the devil near the train tracks, when he gets on the train he goes to hell or something, but he warns his daughter that his grandson might do the same thing as he did. Which the grandson did, he also made a deal with the devil. That's what I got from the song at least. It could be schizophrenia because he was being called to the train tracks.
That wo7ld make alot of sence
And drugs?? That has absolutely NOTHING to do with it, right, Doctor? Thanks for your input, but, I'm gonna look elsewhere. Haha He's talking about his family's drug addictions. Read about it, or watch his interview about the song. Sheesh, what a long winded way to say you have no idea.

I was at a wake yesterday and saw Brian whom I hadn’t seen since high school. We talked for a while and he was the most down to earth guy, just like in the late 90s . I had no idea he had formed this group. We were talking music and the lab rats came up in passing. I got home last night and listened . This is so freaking good! Brian was always the most talented kid when we were young and wow doesn’t this prove it. He’s still super chill and just doing his thing living a quiet life. I could have spoken with him for hours…
So cool you got to connect. He's a great guy!
Indeed. What a talented, chill dude.
Is he still rapping?
Don’t think so. Just living life
@@glasstomo That's a shame. He's a super talented MC.
This song reminds me of when I lived at college. My dorm was right next to the tracks that cut through the campus and one night, really late (probably like 1am) I heard this really low, really melancholy train horn. i look out my window and there's a passenger train (this is normally a freight train track) with green glowing windows very slowly going by. A literal Devils Train lol. (I should probably mention it was October so this was likely a halloween thing)
i used to hear a train whistle coming from places where i shouldnt hear it. like 1 time when i was at high school, i heard it from behind a tall hedge, or something and i chased after the sound

Lyrics
[Verse 1]
My grand-pops was a man of respect, had to sweat
Just to cash checks working from sunrise to set
Every day he'd get challenged, no trades or talents
Barely scraped by, he found faith to balance
The straight line and pace, feeling worn and gray
Poor with four seeds, one more on the way
It was hard days indeed, all work and no play
He made sure things on the surface were okay, but
Something disturbin' within his mind was lurkin'
A slight twilight breeze would ease in through the curtains at night
It's like the sermon of a twisted apparition
Was urging him to listen to the train in the distance
At first it wasn't intense, just one little instance
Sure it didn't occur, he turned to resist it
As if it wasn't much more than just a figment
Of his imagination, but for days it was persistent
And it went;
"Follow me, follow me. Follow me, follow me"
Then it got louder
"Follow me, follow me. I have something to show you"
[Verse 2]
With time people noticed he was actin' berserk
Granny got a call saying he was absent from work
And that was a first
She ran to the pastor at church
To ask him what was up with this disastrous curse
But bad went to worse
He came back three days after
No money in his wallet and his shirt on backwards
Stumbling, walked awkward, he called out for his daughter
Right before he split the last lesson he taught her was this;
"If you ever have a son, let him know
That his granddad loves him, but by the time that he's grown
Be sure this seed is sown deep down into his dome;
Don't ever, ever walk to the train tracks alone"
With that, he backed up, reached out for his jacket
Told her not to act up and cracked up laughin'
After all that happened, he left, never to be seen
Fifteen years later is when my mother had me
Her dad lived a life people can't understand
Went from a family man to rambling man
A gambling man that burned both ends of the candle
Folded his hand in, it was too hot to handle
[Chorus]
Sitting on the tracks waiting for the night train
Looking down the road, ain't never gonna go back
Listen for the whistle through the wind and raindrop
Who's gonna ride the devil's train tonight?
Sitting on the tracks waiting for the night train
Looking down the road, ain't never gonna go back
Listen for the whistle through the wind and raindrop
Who's gonna ride the devil's train tonight?
[Verse 3]
When I was a tot, my mom dropped fables and stories
To warn me of the dangers that were layin' before me
To keep it interestin' she would hide the lesson
To guide my direction, provide the right message
In time I developed a sense of her embellishment
Since I was rebellious against what she was tellin' me
When I was a teen I pretended that my demons were friends
I defended the place, yo, and that was the case
Slurred speech drippin' off of my face
The world creeped as I slipped to the awfulest place you could imagine
Not the average things you see on acid
My granddad bloody, hovering on a speaker cabinet
Laughing in a raspy tone, covered in maggots
That snacked on his mass to the bone, I couldn't grasp it
Did a double dismount off of the couch, flipped out
Broke the closest window I found, then I dipped out
Suddenly, I discovered little voices mumbling up in my head
It had me wondering what was it my mother said
Back when I was younger, it had my brain wracked
As I stumbled off in the night towards the train tracks
[Chorus]
Sitting on the tracks waiting for the night train
Looking down the road, ain't never gonna go back
Listen for the whistle through the wind and raindrop
Who's gonna ride the devil's train tonight?
Sitting on the tracks waiting for the night train
Looking down the road, ain't never gonna go back
Listen for the whistle through the wind and raindrop
Who's gonna ride the devil's train tonight?
[Verse 4]
So there I was, stalking through the dark with a buzz
I figured I should walk, that'll ease me off of these drugs
It's like a shark, had to keep movin', it's that or be ruined;
If I sat still I was doomed, and that wasn't doin'
So I marched through the park slow, gone like Donnie Darko
The sparkle of the starlight glowed like charcoal
Despite my demeanor, the night seemed more serene
Than a morphine fiend in a morgue, it seemed like I'd lost it
That was when my grand-pops' carcass emerged from the dark
Gurgling his words of carnage, but he couldn't talk
Something about the birth of sadness
I scurried off; I was on the verge of madness
I raced, fast-paced, and the landscape was strange
Like a plane parallel to this one but rearranged
Came to a slope that was steep, beggin' for sleep
As I climbed up, taking my focus off of the creeps
Within the foggy distance, I saw a silhouette that got bigger as I stepped
The train tracks were wet
I saw a shiny grin from afar like it was happy
This is what he said as he started to walk past me:
"It's a nice night for a walk, would ya mind if I joined you?"
"Do what you wanna do"
"Well that's great, 'cause I'm going to
And not to annoy you but, see, I really have to ask
What a young dude like you's doin' out by the tracks?
You waitin' on a train?"
"Nah, man, let me explain"
"Alright"
"I'm mindin' my business so maybe you should do the same
I just been a witness to something sick and sadistic
So twistedly disgusting you should feel real lucky you missed it"
"Ooh, but easy with the tongue, son, try to listen carefully
What you've seen's scary, but nothing when compared to me
I could show you things to paint all your dreams haunted
I could make you scream if I wanted
Or I can be the bee in your bonnet, your best friend forever
Two peas in a pod flockin' like birds of a feather
And you never have a need to beg, work, or steal
If all this sounds worth it then let's make a deal
All you want in life for price of your soul
All the money you can fold, power that you can hold
I'll put you in control
Only if you're down to roll down these train tracks tonight"
"But where we gonna go?"
[Chorus]
Sitting on the tracks waiting for the night train
Looking down the road, ain't never gonna go back
Listen for the whistle through the wind and raindrop
Who's gonna ride the devil's train tonight?
Sitting on the tracks waiting for the night train
Looking down the road, ain't never gonna go back
Listen for the whistle through the wind and raindrop
Who's gonna ride the devil's train tonight?

***** u talking to me
Cool that 17 years later this song is still considered a banger and is hitting main stream yet again,
I totally want to hear the story behind this song. How did they come up with it? Legends? Drugs? Dreams? It seems like it would be worth sitting down and listening to.
I wonder this myself.
Listening to it and by experience, it kind of sounds like him and his grandfather are schizophrenic
They say you meet the devil at crossroads. Wanna cut a deal?
@Sho Sekiguchi is there anyway we could talk about this?..
Sho Sekiguchi it’s the schizophrenia. There aren’t paranormal spirits involved. Took me a long time to get back to reality and figure it all out. They had me convinced I was a God or high ranking angel sent here to judge the earth and be the start of the end or the start of a new beginning. It’s all in your head, just like it was and is in mine.
the sad part is "the lab rats" (DJ Spatts and Sean Smith) actually disbanded a couple years ago ;-;
Colbie Brawl Stars OC when exactly?
DIEFASTLIVESLOW liveslow 2007, apparently
2007 is not a couple years ago
The labrats were DJ KW and Brian Brown. Each still making music seperately.
If I ever get on a train track and someone comes along I'd be like: *"wAitINg on A TRAiN?"*
Ong
Lotta interesting speculation about the meaning of the lyrics but seems like no one has pointed out the lines about gambling. The grandfather was a gambler by the end, turned up after disappearing with his wallet empty and shirt on backwards. The narrators mother told stories that were embellished to warn him “don’t go to the train tracks alone”, the “devil” offers “all the money you can fold”. The Devils Train is a casino, illegal and underground that operates somewhere along the train tracks. The grandfather knew it was out there and eventually was tempted enough to try to improve his fortune and lost himself, the narrator stumbles out there in a drug addled haze and falls victim to it as well.
When you realise this song only really uses drums and pianos/keyboards.
and a train
Also a soundboard and flute
So do most songs?

I remember me and my older brother listening to The Lab Rats on his ipod during like 09, now I am back and I honestly wish they stuck around longer.
The moral of the story is when your dad tells you make sure there's one thing you teach your son, YOU BETTER FREAKING TEACH YOUR SON THAT ONE THING!
She did, he didn't listen
I think you mean moral of the story is if you don’t listen to your mom you’re a dumbass 😂💯
The moral of the story is to not get high on acid
@@derago7205 Don't Do Drugs, Kids
one of THE best story telling songs ive ever heard, and a big part of my childhood
I've been looking for this song for like 5 years. proud to say I found it tonight drunk af
You deserve a medal
So bud how was the hangover
@@arxeusplayz8132 still waiting on the hangover results
hopefully you remembered it in the morning
u2 Hoodie
lets hope they don’t have to wait another 6 years to remember it aha
I am generally sad that I can't find this on Spotify. I would so listen to this on loop. Such a good song
Edit: oh wow Im surprised im still getting replies 2 years later.
Let me clarify something. I don't mean episodes from podcasts uploaded by other people. Because most of the time these are uploaded without the original creator's permission and you can't save it to your own playlist.
I feel the same, but by the looks of it The Lab Rats have been out of commision for quite some time now
Unfortunately, these guys have been broken up since '07. Had a lot of good memories at shows back then. Different times, when not all the same tools were available to artists like now.
Actually you can create playlists on RUclips without premium
You can find podcasts with the song
They get taken down often though
THIRTEEN YEARS AGO?! Holy shit, for some reason it didn’t seem like a 2007 bop. To me it sounded like a new age (mid 2000s) rapper emulating old school rap (circa 1990s) because the whole thing just sounds so...unique? I can’t explain it. Shame that a lot of us found this late, I was fucking 7 when this vid released lol and now it’s 2020! And that this guy never really got big because this man can _spit_ . So much potential.
Yeah, especially for those of us in their scene who went to shows and watched them get "discovered" not once, but twice now, with no idea if either of them are profiting from it.
Now 2021
That’s exactly what it was lmao this song is from the mid 2000’s
I was 1 year old
Still a banger after all these years.

I'd love to make a movie out of this song. I can already picture so many good visuals. And since nobody knows the end of this song, the ending would be so unexpected
Brilliant! Do it!!!!!!
@@bbrown614 I. I used to live in poverty, I'm going to have to wait a while 😅
I have also thought of a story for it, it’s a really cool subject and idea!
@@NicheHistroy yeah me too!
I looked up the group that made this song and I see that they haven’t been active since like 2007. I wonder what happened to these guys. I honestly wish they still made music, because this is such a cool song.
We live, I promise you!
they went down the tracks
aint neva' gonna go back
@@HotelEdenMusic Oh it’s actually him!
@Hotel Eden
So then what happened? U didn't answer the question.
@@luciddreaming4478 There really isn't much to say; they simply disbanded in 2007 after the release of Half Full Ashtrays, Half Empty Glasses, most likely because they wanted to pursue different musical avenues.
I dont normally like rap, im a metal fan but man this band died to soon.
literally

@@AidanDrotzur-uz5sz what, you saying you don't agree that the grandpa was hot?
[Verse 1]
My Grand-pops was a man of respect, had to sweat
Just to cash checks working from sun-rise to set
Every day he'd get challenged, no trades or talents
Barely scraped by, he found faith to balance the straight line
And pace feeling worn and grey
Poor with four seeds, one more on the way
It was hard days indeed all work and no play
He made sure things on the surface were okay, but
Something disturbin' within his mind was lurkin'
A slight twilight breeze would ease in through the curtains at night
It's like the sermon of a twisted apparition
Was urging him to listen to the train in the distance
At first it wasn't intense, just one little instance
Sure, it didn't occur, he turned to resist it
As if it wasn't much more than just a figment of his imagination but for days it was persistent
And it went, "follow me, follow me. follow me, follow me" then it got louder
"follow me, follow me, I have something to show you"
[Verse 2]
With time people noticed he was actin berserk
Granny got a call saying he was absent from work
And that was a first
She ran to the pastor at church
To ask him what was up with this disastrous curse
But bad went to worse
He came back three days after, no money in his wallet and his shirt on backwards
Stumbling, walked awkward he called out for his daughter
Right before he split the last lesson he taught her was this
"If you ever have a son let him know that his granddad loves him but by the time that he's grown
Be sure this seed is sown deep down into his dome, don't ever ever walk to the train tracks alone"
With that he backed up reached out for his jacket
Told her not to act up and cracked up laughin'
After all that happened he left never to be seen
Fifteen years later is when my mother had me
Her dad lived a life people can't understand
Went from a, family man to rambling man
A gambling man that burned both ends of the candle
Folded his hand in it was too hot to handle
[Hook]
Sitting on the tracks waiting for the night train
Looking down the road ain't never gonna go back
Listen for the whistle through the wind and raindrop
Who's gonna ride the devil's train tonight? (x2)
[Verse 3]
When I was a tot my mom dropped fables and stories
To warn me of the dangers that were layin before me
To keep it interestin' she would hide the lesson
To guide my direction, provide the right message
In time I developed a sense of her embellishment
Since I was rebellious against what she was tellin me
When I was a teen I pretend-ed that my demons were friends
I defended the place. yo and that was the case
Slurred speech drippin' off of my face
The world creeped as I slipped to the awfulest place you could imagine
Not the average things you see on acid;
My granddad bloody hovering on a speaker cabinet
Laughing in a raspy tone, covered in maggots
That snacked on his ass with a bone(?), I couldn't grasp it
Did a double dismount off of the couch, flipped out
Broke the closest window I found, then I dipped out
Suddenly, I discovered little voices mumbling up in my head
It had me wondering what was it my mother said
Back when I was younger it had my brain ragged
As I stumbled off of the night towards the train tracks
[Hook]
Sitting on the tracks waiting for the night train
Looking down the road ain't never gonna go back
Listen for the whistle through the wind and raindrop

[Verse 4]
So there I was, stalking through the dark with a buzz
I figured I should walk that'll ease me off of these drugs
It's like a shark had to keep movin' it's that or be ruined;
If I sat still I was doomed and that wasn't doin'
So I marched through the park slow gone(?) like Donnie Darko
The sparkle of the starlight, glowed like charcoal
Despite my demeanor
The night seemed more serene than a morphine fiend in a morgue, it seemed
Like I lost it, that was when my grand-pops carcass emerged from the dark
Gurggling his words of carnage, but he couldn't talk
Something about the birth of sadness
I scurried off, I was on the verge of madness
I raced fast pace in the landscape was strange like a plane parallel to this one but rearranged
Came to a slope to a steep, beggin' for sleep
As I climbed up taking my focus off of the creeps
Within the foggy distance I saw a silhouette that got bigger as I stepped
The train tracks were wet, I saw a shiny grin from afar like it was happy
This is what he said as he started to walk passed me
"It's a nice night for a walk, would ya mind if I joined you?"
"Do what you wanna do"
"Well that's great cause I'm going to
And not to annoy you but see I really have to ask
What a young dude like you's doin out by the tracks? *you waiting on a traaain*"
"Nah man let me explain
I'm mindin' my business so maybe you should do the same
I just been a witness to something sick and sadistic
So twistedly disgusting you should feel real lucky you missed it."
"Ooh easy with the tongue son, try to listen carefully
What you seen's scary but nothing can compared to me
I could show you things that paint all your dreams haunted
Or I could make you scream if I wanted
Or I can be the bee in your bonnet, your best-friend forever
Two peas in a pod flocking like birds and a feather
And you never have a need to beg work or steal
If all this sounds worth it then lets make a deal
All you want in life for price of your soul
All the money you can fold, power that you can hold
I'll put you in control, only if you're down to roll down these train tracks tonight."
"But where we gonna go?"
[Hook]
Sitting on the tracks waiting for the night train
Looking down the road ain't never gonna go back

Thank you.

Calm down there.

I appreciate you for this.
One of those songs where I just have to bob my head to.
The Feels Farmer Hey!! :D
The Feels Farmer Same.
And I'm doing fine. Same as always, I guess. XD You?
The Feels Farmer Thanks! I listen to a lot of it.
Haha.
Honestly it's my friend with the good taste, she shows me a lot of the music I listen to.
The Feels Farmer Haha true. XD
first song ive ever memorised, still stuck in my head over a decade later
Remembered this song after it started getting popular on TikTok, really hope this song doesn't get ruined from it cause this song is too incredible
Facts I used to love this song! I was so shocked when I heard it trending on tiktok
facts i heard this song like 3 years ago
I heard it originally from a gravity falls amv
Did anyone actually come here because they just like the song....?
Not from a fandom?
Me
Yep. My friend introduced me to it after she learnt the hole goddamn rap and sang it to me 😂😂😂
Son Goku I did. Caught wind of it on musical.ly and I searched the lyrics to find and fell in love immediately hearing the whole thing
Right here.
dead Autumn same lol I saw a video on Facebook of someone using this song for musically and wondered what the song was
I FINALLY FOUND IT!!!!! this song cane up on my pandora forever ago but i could never find it after i forgot what it was called. it’s so good ugh
It was on pandora at one point
I was introduced to the lab rats a couple years ago from a recommendation on sound cloud.
I still believe this is an entertaining story told in song form.
I don't consider it one of the greatest raps I've heard but it is enjoyable none the less.
Even if Tik Tok is a cringe fest I'm glad it's giving some attention to devil's train.
I happen to have found this a few times from tiktok, and only now have I actually cared to check it out. I'm so glad I did. The people there suck and it is quite terrible 99% of the time, but god DAMN there are some bops there ^^
Also thought it's from a musical or TV-show at first
Wait... this song... it's on...
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
1. Why is this song so it doesn't have the license to slap that hard
2. Why am I almost as old as this song i feel so old now 💀
I just saw that this was 10 yrs ago
WHERE HAVE I BEEN
*what...i was 2-*
*I was 3 oof...*
*I was 2 months old--*
*i was four lol*
*I was 3 i think*
I love songs with trains. Like this one and “the things I deserve.” The instrumental is so great. And I like the 50s/swing mixed in with rap.
This song is better than the entire "Bye Bye Man" movie
One of the greatest feelings is putting a song on and my dad immediately bopping along to it.got him with this one
I don’t know how I got here but I’m really digging this song
the way i was genuinely obsessed with this songs YEARS ago and now it’s back out of nowhere
_the fact this was made _*_13 years ago_*_ and we all still love it-_
Jazz, folk, and rap combined, I love it!!!!
it’s been years since i’ve heard this song and today it just randomly appeared in my recommended again. this kind of music is something i completely forgot about but am now refalling in love with, it was a different time when this came out for sure
Quick reminder to listen to it again
Discovered this song years ago. I love horror and dark themes, and addiction and other bad shit has rooted itself deep into my family tree. Lost my brother to it, metaphorically lost my father to it, losing my other brother to it as i type, not to mention my own vices. Also the shitty small town i live in has a train you can hear from anywhere. Anyways, love this song such a bop 🙏🙏🙌
petition for the lab rats to make more music
That would be very yes (:
the lab rats got disbanded :(
@@someone3709 big sad
I wish. The Lab Rats had unfortunately disbanded back in 2007.
@@S-CB-SL-Animations any certain reason?
I can't believe it's finally on Spotify
IT IS ?!?!?!?!? cool
I thought this song was just catchy at first, but if you really go through the lyrics and analyze the flow, this track is actually fuckin amazing. This flow could almost rival Biggie, it's actually insane.
deez nuggets I can’t even hang wit biggie
that’s because the flow was completely stolen from eminem whos right up there next to biggie with his flow
It kinda reminds me of ace attorney, like, with hobo Phoenix 👀
@@mattkervinen4075 didnt this come out 14 years ago tho
This TRACK is actually amazing.
So glad to see people still enjoying this years afterwards - it's a great song!
I have an entire D&D boss dungeon based on this song that I'm waiting for a chance to use.
Thats awesome
Over 14 years old and people are still talking and speculating about this song and that my friends is a sign of a good song.
Found this years ago, these dudes came too early. They've seemingly fallen off the face off the earth but this song absolutely SLAPS
The flow was really good the beat was really good and the story that was painted crazy I wish rap was still like this
this is 8 years old and still the best song ever
Agreed
Holy shit, i wrote this 2 years ago, and i still think its the best song ever... I WILL NOT GIVE UP.
Nothing in Particular you mean " Build our machine"? And hello, you said the name of the song by DAGames and now I'm here now
11 years now
R u still alive???
This song could be a show of un treated schizophrenia. The granddad had an episode, possibly going on in prescribed meds, then warning his daughter to not let her son go on the same pass he had, of course the son did. He was on acid as he mentioned, the vision of his granddad could be caused by the mix of acid and his passed down schizophrenia. He quickly left due to wanting to leave. He went to the train. The devil, is a vision of the train. If you listen quite closely as he talks sounds of trains can be heard. And the description “that got bigger as i stepped, the train tracks were wet, he had a smile like he was happy” The words “bigger as he stepped, the train tracks were wet” It was the train closing in on him, or right after he had hit him the tracks were wet with soaking blood. His smile was the lights. The end :D
2019 anyone? Been listening to this for like 3 years
Ive been listening since '14
Same here Daniel I found it because of an animation
I just found it on SoundCloud over a year ago. Still one of my favorites.
*2020 let's go!!!*
2020 I’m from the future there’s a fucken idiot in charge of Canada
17 years and this song still hits just as hard
The flow is so good. This song lives rent free in my head and has done for years.
Im not a real fan of most rap but this beat really hooked me I love old timey kinda creative and interesting beats like this
Birde listen to old kanye songs like Through the wire and the glory. the beats are amazing
Put the speed 1.25
I was listening and A FUCKING TRAIN HORN WENT OFF I HAVEN'T HEARD A DAMN TRAIN IN SO LONG
i return to this banger every few months
I still don’t understand why this song isn’t more popular
One of the most unique rap songs I think I've ever heard... in a good way. I wish they would come out with more music. And if they have new stuff, someone please tell me where to find it!
They broke up in 2008 :/
Darn :/ hopefully they get back together in the future
Kace A jeeze that was ten yrs ago
@@pickthelock8592 lol
Eminem offbrand
The chorus comforts me. It's so soft and happy. I don't know if it's just me, but it helps me can down or sleep.
Anyone else go about a month where you had to listen to this song every single day after you first heard heard it TT_TT
Recommended to me once again after all these years and i'm happy to say it's still my favorite song AND it's finally on Spotify!! :)
Found a fantastic track from a dumpster fire of a “community”
I really wish I found this piece of gold on my own.
Dreadrius which fandom?
I still refuse to use tik tok and I'm pretty lucky with my yt recommendations
I found a pretty cool animatic of it, nice art at least
Dreadrius i found this in 2011 lmao
normally other music like this doesn't appeal me
but this is only too catchy :D
Agreed!
Have to agree, normally I don't listen to rap, but for some reason I really like this song.
i know right!
I KNOW RIGHT XD
You should check out more underground rap, check out Aesop rock Not to be confused with asap rocky that guy sucks
WHY ISNT THIS SONG ON SPOTIFY !?!?!
How the f**k did I get 1,5k likes? I just said what we were all thinking!
*THANK YOU*
Maybe because it’s quite old
@@mindlessactor29 it should still be on there theres songs from the 1990s on Spotify so why not this one its great and should be there

By god, i finally found it..... Again.....
Didn’t come from a fandom or anything, just popped up in my recommendation and now I’m obsessed.
I haven’t listened to this in years and I’ve never seen the original video until now. This is exactly how my brain imagined the singers, the evil man, the house and the environment. It’s almost scary how accurate my imagination was to the real mv.
(This will never stop being one of my favorite songs regardless)
4:14 don't mind me, just saving it since it's similar to an interaction in some character backstory I'm working on
