When I'm on the rails
I go choo choo
I go choo choo
I go choo choo
When I'm on the rails
I go choo choo
I go choo choo
I go choo choo
When I'm on the rails

I'm on that train
I got my passengers going insane
It's like we passing jars of that propane
I'm screaming fire fire fire fire flames

Fuck that and a bus pass
I'm a need a Dali with a Lama cus I must-stash
I'ma need a piece ie: if I must blast
I'ma need peace ea: if I must last
See these days how we must clash damn it is so real
How we must act when there ain't no reel
Word to the surreal now that's for reals
Like when our home was on four wheels

When I'm on the rails
I go choo choo
I go choo choo
I go choo choo
When I'm on the rails
I go choo choo
I go choo choo
I go choo choo

Do you gotta ticket
Well I'm gone click it
Now I'ma tell you where to sit
And you gone sit shit
We going fast we going faster
And when you see your ex man we going passed them

Yeah let's take it back to them silly ass sixteens
Saw a man shot in the belly I was sixteen
I ain't no Pac though my scars are far from a chicken
Saw the spark smelled the powder heard the kids scream
What a graduation party should've pat us down
I mean absurd to me security was not around
Nah absurdity's the certainty they'll clap a round
For a diploma and a comma with a the cap in gown

When I'm on the rails
I go choo choo
I go choo choo
I go choo choo
When I'm on the rails
I go choo choo
I go choo choo
I go choo choo
When I'm on the rails

I'm on that train
I got my passengers going insane
It's like we passing jars of that propane
I'm screaming fire fire fire fire flames

Fire fire
Fire fire




Fire fire

Overall Meaning

The song "Choo Choo" by AllttA is an upbeat and fast-paced track that talks about traveling on a train. The repetition of "When I'm on the rails, I go choo choo" emphasizes the thrill of the ride and the freedom that comes with it. The lyrics then delve into the artist's experiences on the train, describing how he has passengers going "insane" and how they're "passing jars of that propane." The use of these metaphors insinuates that the ride is exciting and exhilarating, and they're living their best lives on this train.


The song takes a turn as the lyrics move from describing the train ride's uniqueness to the artist's struggles and harsh realities. The artist mentions that they've seen people shot and heard kids scream, providing a vivid and jarring image. The lyrics also touch on social issues like security and absurdity at graduation parties, and it's apparent that the artist is deeply affected by these experiences. Despite witnessing these events, the chorus emphasizing the "fire flames" holds both violent and poetic undertones, representing a new beginning and rising from destruction.


Overall, "Choo Choo" encompasses both the thrill of living in the moment and the harsh realities that come with it. The song portrays the need to escape through the excitement of a train ride while also recognizing the difficulties that come with it, creating a compelling and introspective track.
