Warriors’ Cypher Lyrics

Reunion Square Lyrics

[TRAIN CONDUCTOR, spoken]
This is 14th street, Union Square

[DJ, spoken]
You beat the odds and made it to Union Square, Warriors
And you slipped the noose when those cute boy Bizzies
Didn’t want to get any blood on their cardigans
But will you make it through the maze of Union Square?
So many levels and angles

[DJ, spoken & TRAIN CONDUCTOR, spoken]
Trains, colors, letters, and numbers (Transfer here for the N, QB, RR)
Platforms movin’ in and out like lost robots (And LL trains)
Trying to get home? (Please be careful of the platform edge)
It’s a labyrinth
Can you crack the code?
Or will it crack you?

[COCHISE, spoken]
Roll call

[COCHISE, sung]

[COCHISE]

[COWGIRL]
Hey yo, this hot dude bit me
[COCHISE]

[COWGIRL]
Hey yo, we just escaped this vampire’s lair

[COCHISE]
And yo, I smashed that bad guy with his own chair

[REMBRANDT]
We were not prepared

[FOX]
We were fucking scared

[THE WARRIORS]
Ah-she-ca! Ah-ah-she-ca!
Ah-she-ca! Ah-ah-she-ca! (Hey)
Ah-she-ca! Ah-ah-she-ca! (Hey)

[COCHISE]

[COWGIRL]
Turnstile, here’s a token for one last ride
They call me Cowgirl but yo we almost died

[MERCY]
Yo, it’s nice to meet you

[COCHISE]

[FOX & REMBRANDT]

[DISPATCH VOICE, spoken]
Officers are on the scene

[CAPTAIN VICTOR & DISPATCH VOICE, spoken]
Yoo hoo! (Officers are on the scene)
Ladies! (Officers are on the scene)

[QUEENS SAMPLE & DISPATCH VOICE, spoken]
You could do ninety-nine things right (Officers are on the scene)
Meet the wrong cop at night, and it’s brrap on sight, ya dig

[VICTOR]
Yoo hoo! Ladies!
Hands where we can see ’em if you please

[FOX]
I’m sick of being afraid of you

[COWGIRL, spoken]
Fox?

[SWAN, spoken]
Fox

[FOX]
And what you have the power to do

[VICTOR]
Yoo hoo!

[FOX]
You’re the baddest gang in the city

[REMBRANDT, spoken]
Fox

[FOX]
It’s true!
Ha, and your color’s fuckin’ powder blue

[VICTOR]
Careful

[FOX]
Quiet girls don’t make it home!
Why can’t we just go back home?
Why we always on the run from you?

Well, every crew that gave us chase
Wound up landing on their face
We put them in their place
You want some too?

[VICTOR, spoken]
Oh, you wanna rumble?
No problem!

[SCRATCHED SAMPLES]
Officers are on the scene
On the scene, scene
On the scene, scene, scene, scene-scene
Officers are on the scene-scene, s-s-scene
Officers, officers, officers, scene-scene
Officers, officers, officers, officers
Officers are on the scene

Anybody testing these hands can see static
Meet the wrong cop at night, the wrong cop at night
Survival all depends upon the corner you run to
The wrong cop at night, the wrong cop at night
Only the strong survive, survive
Anybody testing these hands can see static
The wrong cop at night, the wrong cop at night
Survival all depends upon the corner you run to
Anybody testing these hands can see static
The wrong cop at night, the wrong cop at night

I’m sick of runnin’ when I’ve done nothin’ wrong
The wrong cop at night, the wrong cop at night
Only the strong survive, survive, survive, survive
The wrong cop at night, the wrong cop at night
Anybody testing these hands can see static
The wrong cop at night, the wrong cop at night
Survival all depends upon the corner you run to
The wrong cop at night, the wrong cop at night
Only the strong survive, survive
Anybody testing these hands can see static
The wrong cop at night, the wrong cop at night
Survival all depends upon the corner you run to
Anybody testing these hands can see static
The wrong cop at night, the wrong cop at night

Survive the night
The wrong cop at night, the wrong cop at night
Survive the night
The wrong cop at night, the wrong cop at night
Survive the armies of the night
It’s a long way down
Down, down, down, down, down
The south end of the line is Coney Island
The south end of the line is Coney Island

Look, there’s the train!
It’s now or never, and it’s just a hundred feet away

[FOX, COCHISE & COWGIRL]
(C’mon, c’mon, c’mon, c’mon)
And half a mile underground (C’mon, c’mon, c’mon, c’mon)
(C’mon, c’mon, c’mon, c’mon)
We find the train that’s Brooklyn-bound (C’mon, c’mon, c’mon, c’mon)
(C’mon, c’mon, c’mon, c’mon)
The captain’s trying to chase us down (C’mon, c’mon, c’mon, c’mon)
(C’mon, c’mon, c’mon, c’mon)
Just don’t look back or turn around (C’mon, c’mon, c’mon, c’mon)

Hey, let’s get gone, get on this train! (C’mon, c’mon, c’mon, c’mon)
Everybody on this train! (C’mon, c’mon, c’mon, c’mon)
Muscle through the pain and make it through! (C’mon, c’mon, c’mon, c’mon)
(C’mon, c’mon, c’mon, c’mon)

[TRAIN CONDUCTOR, spoken]
This is a Brooklyn-bound train

[FOX, COCHISE & COWGIRL]
This cop’ll stop the subway line (C’mon, c’mon, c’mon, c’mon)
Unless somebody stays behind (C’mon, c’mon, c’mon, c’mon)
To keep ’em occupied (C’mon, c’mon, c’mon, c’mon)
And suddenly I know what I have to do
Get them home alive

[MERCY]
Fox?

[TRAIN CONDUCTOR, spoken]
Stand clear of the closing—

[FOX]
I jump through the doors and I’m back on the platform
There’s no looking back so I make for the captain
If I can just grab him and make something happen
They’ll be too distracted to check for the train

He sees my approach with a moment to spare
And he twists but I’m there so I tackle him square
In the ribs and he grimaces, spits in my hair
Now he’s punching the air as we circle the drain

[VICTOR]
Stay down!

[FOX]
Tryin’ to keep his hands from his waist
So I don’t get a taste of his nightstick
I stick hands in his face but he lands with his weight on me

[VICTOR]
Ha!

[FOX]
Warriors, don’t wait on me

[FOX & VICTOR]
Now every move that I make is a bid to survive
Keep me alive
When you woke up today, you didn’t think you could die
Neither did I

Now every move that I make is a bid to survive
Keep me alive
When you woke up today, you didn’t think you could die

[FOX]
But you don’t decide
And we’re both on the floor, I look to my right
I see all my Warriors watching us fight
As they bang on the door in the fluorescent light
Forming a chorus of screams in the night
On the opposite side is the parallel track
As I wrestle the captain back onto his back
Then my Warriors’ train starts pulling away
Mission accomplished, I’ll see you in Coney!
The captain is slappin’ and kickin’ and punchin’
He’s too mad to function, I hear something crunchin’
And I’ve broken somethin’, there’s blood on his face
I feel his knees slide up under my waist
Putting space in between us, I try to hold on
Swan would’ve beat him, but I am no Swan
I am doing my best just to make it ’til dawn
Then his foot’s in my chest and he launches me over the edge and I’m—

[FOX falls onto the tracks. The WARRIORS watch helplessly through the windows as a local train suddenly squeals in and hits her, killing her on contact. The WARRIORS are headed to Coney.]
