[Intro: Kirk Franklin]
Yo, turn me up in my microphone
So I can bless God's people
You know Kirk Franklin and then
TobyMac on this gospel train
On the J-Train, ain't nothin' but a thing
Come on and lift up your hands
If you want to get on board
Baby, baby

[Chorus: Paul Meany, TobyMac, Kirk Franklin]
Now ya have a ticket to ride? (Got a what?)
(I got a ticket to ride to the other side)
But do ya have a ticket to ride (Say what, say what)
(I got a ticket to ride to the other side) (If ya don't know, now ya know, come on)

Now ya have a ticket to ride? (Got a what?)
(I got a ticket to ride to the other side)
Oh, ya have a ticket to ride (On the J-Train)
(I got a ticket to ride to the other side)(Woo!)

Now ya have ticket to ride? (Got a what?)
(I got a ticket to ride to the other side)
But do ya have a ticket to ride (On the J-Train)
(To the other side, to the other side, to the- to the-)
[Verse 1: TobyMac, Kirk Franklin]
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 (Heh)
Try as you may but your money can't buy (That's right)
A ticket on the J-Line to the other side (Come on, woo!)

[Chorus: Paul Meany, TobyMac, Kirk Franklin]
Now ya have a ticket to ride? (Say what, say what)
(I got a ticket to ride to the other side)
Oh, ya have a ticket to ride (Say what, say what)
(I got a ticket to ride to the other side) (Wha-wha-wha-what)

Now ya have a ticket to ride? (Say what, say what)
(I got a ticket to ride to the other side)
But do ya have a ticket to ride (On the J-Train)
(I got a ticket to ride to the other side)
(To the other side, to the other side, to the- to the-)

[Verse 2: Paul Meany]
Guess who, Earthsuit, out the blue, brand new
With the Mac, he's back, boom, slap, rock the venue
Y'all, first stop, present, remix the content, concepts
Still remains the J-train God sent (Woo)
Running full steam on a track that won't stop
And do not miss your shot to jump on the right spot
And if ya gotten on, realize it won't be long
Come on and hold your ticket high while we carry on
[Chorus: Paul Meany, TobyMac]
Now ya have a ticket to ride? (Got a what?)
(I got a ticket to ride to the other side)
Now ya have a ticket to ride (Say what, say what)
(I got a ticket to ride to the other side) (Wha-wha-wha-what)

Oh, ya have a ticket to ride? (Got a what?)
(I got a ticket to ride to the other side)
Now ya have a ticket to ride (On the J-Train)
(I got a ticket to ride to the other side)

[Post-Chorus: TobyMac]
To the other side, to the other side, to the- to the-
I got a ticket to ride to the other side
Other side, to the- to the other side (Say what)
I got a ticket to ride to the other side (Wha-wha-wha-what)
Other side, to the- to the- to the- (got a what?)
I got a ticket to ride to the other side
Si-si-si- to the other side (On the J-Train)
I got a ticket to ride to the other side

[Bridge: Kirk Franklin]
Say, do you wanna ride, say, uh, uh (Destination)
Do you wanna ride, say, uh (It's the J-Train)
All my people wanna ride, say, uh
You got your ticket in your hand, say, uh
You got your ticket in your hand, say, uh
All my people wanna ride, say, uh
All my people wanna ride, say, ay
[Verse 3: TobyMac]
Now I missed the Train more than once in my life
'Til the good conductor heard my Momma's cry
Hades to Glory in the blink of an eye
Hear me now, hear-hear-hear-hear while I testify
Heard the whistle blow I felt a chill to the bone
-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...

[Breakdown: Kirk Franklin]
Uh, this the breakdown right here
This is for everybody who's been washed in the blood
And you not ashamed to praise His Name
I'm talking to the people in the back right now tryna get high
Put that weed down, player
Ain't nobody never [?] your holy mind -
Open up your mouth!

[Chorus: Paul Meany, TobyMac, Kirk Franklin]
Now ya have a ticket to ride? (Got a what?)
(I got a ticket to ride to the other side)
Oh, ya have a ticket to ride (Say what, say what)
(I got a ticket to ride to the other side) (Wha-wha-wha-what)

Now ya have a ticket to ride? (Got a what?)
(I got a ticket to ride to the other side)
But do ya have a ticket to ride? (On the J-Train)
(I got a ticket to ride to the other side)

Say, do you wanna ride, say, uh, uh
Now ya have a ticket to ride? (Got a what?)
Do you wanna ride, say, uh
(I got a ticket to ride to the other side)
All my people wanna ride, say, uh
Now ya have a ticket to ride (Say what, say what)
You got your ticket in your hand, say, uh
(I got a ticket to ride to the other side) (Wha-wha-wha-what)

You got your ticket in your hand, say, uh
Oh, ya have a ticket to ride? (Got a what?)
All my people wanna ride, say, uh
(I got a ticket to ride to the other side)
All my people wanna ride, say
Now ya have a ticket to ride (On the J-Train)
Ay
(I got a ticket to ride to the other side)
