[BILLY]
You don't know me, but you will
Let me introduce myself
Submitted for your approval
The future of basketball
The man with the muscle
And the man with the moves
Submitted for your approval
The man who's too fast to fall
The man who can hustle
And the man who can fly
Who always is hot
When it's time for the shot
Listen
Any time you want me at all
Any rhyme or reason
Brother, I'm the brother you call to play
Spring or summer, winter or fall
Any time or season
Catch the boy who's movin' the ball away -
He's called the
Steam Train, comin' down the track
Better watch your step, better watch your back
'Cause you'll see a shadow, fast and black
Then the Steam Train's rollin' by
Steam Train, chuggin' down the hill
If you don't move now, then you never will
He's on your tail and he's in for the k**
Then the Steam Train's rollin' by...
[JESSICA]
He's better than Magic Johnson
[BROOKS]
The man is all talk, no action
[ANDREA]
I love how he holds the ball
[BILLY]
My subjects arrive
[BROOKS, ANDREA & JESSICA]
The Train's got the talent
[BROOKS]
But without the technique
[ANDREA, JESSICA & BILLY]
Toot, toot, here comes the Ssss...
[ANDREA & JESSICA]
Steam Train...
[BILLY]
I'm takin' on Michael Jordan
[JESSICA]
He can score it
[BILLY]
Yeah, yeah, yeah...
[JESSICA]
The Train's gonna make it to the
Top of the sky
[BROOKS]
Got nothin' on Michael Jordan
He's ridin' it for a fall
[ANDREA]
Lord, I'm fallin' for the
Steam Train
[BROOKS]
Any team'll
Pa** him right by
[BROOKS, ANDREA & JESSICA]
Prepare for attack
When the Train's on the track!
[BILLY]
Listen
I have got my hands on the wheel
[ALL]
Someone's got to lead us
Takin' on the Train's gonna seal your fate
[BILLY]
Watch me as I line up a deal
With Nike and Adidas
[ALL]
All the world is starting to feel the weight
Of the
Steam Train, comin' down the track
Better watch your step, better watch your back
[BILLY]
Better keep your eyeballs open, Jack
[ALL]
When the Steam Train's rollin' by
Steam Train, chuggin' down the hill
[BILLY]
If you want to live, baby, don't stand still
[ALL]
He's on the move and he's in for the k**
Then the Steam Train's rollin' by...
[BILLY]
You don't know me
The last time I saw my father, I was five years old
He hadn't been home for two months
He came into the apartment at three o clock in the morning
Set fire to the drapes and carpets
And then woke up me and my sister
Carried us outside
And walked away
While we watched the building burn down
You don't know me
But you will
[BILLY & COMPANY]
A new world
Just across the river
A new world
Where I'll have it all!
A new world
Just around the corner
Hear it call!
Hear it call!
[COMPANY]
Steam Train gotta run, gotta move, gotta blow
Gotta leave the Bronx behind him
He knows all he's needin' to know to fly (he gonna fly!)
Steam Train, he got places to go
No one ever find him
[BILLY & COMPANY]
Steam Train movin' on with the show
Goodbye!
Goodbye!
Look out, here comes the
Steam Train, comin' down the track
Better watch your step, better watch your back
'Cause you'll see a shadow, fast and black
Then the Steam Train's rollin' by...
Steam Train, chuggin' down the hill
If you don't move now, then you never will
He's on your tail and he's in for the k**
Then the Steam Train's rollin'
Steam Train's rollin'
Steam Train's rollin' by...
[BILLY]
You don't know me
There were twelve boys in my fifth grade cla** at Sojourner Truth
Four of them are in jail
Six of them are dead
And Gordon Connors
Works at Twin Donut on 125th Street
You don't know me...
But you will
