Survive the Night Lyrics

[00:00.33] People of New York
[00:02.53] Crews of the city
[00:05.24] Who rule dis madness
[00:11.19] Hey boppers
[00:13.64] At midnight
[00:15.71] There's a gathering after dark
[00:18.13] In Van Cortlandt Park
[00:20.33] Hey boppers
[00:22.58] Cyrus needs five boroughs to see this through
[00:27.57] This means you
[00:29.85] Hey boppers
[00:32.49] The truce is on
[00:34.83] No weapons but your fists, she insists
[00:39.27] Hey boppers
[00:41.56] Keep your radio tuned tight
[00:44.85] Time it just right
[00:47.03] And you just might
[00:49.75] Survive the night (survive the night)
[00:54.04] Warriors, come out to playayayayeah
[00:59.20] Survive the armies of the night
[01:03.47] Warriors, come out to playayayayeah
[01:08.48] Boogie down! Who's steppin' bright for The Bronx
[01:11.82] This is the sound of something being born
[01:13.68] From the ashes of The Bronx
[01:15.06] The siren squeals and the car horn honks
[01:17.31] Across the cross Bronx
[01:18.53] And what The Bronx wants
[01:19.72] Is not a combative retaliatory response
[01:22.07] It's a renaissance
[01:23.19] With Cyrus tellin the truth
[01:24.40] Underrepresented youths
[01:25.50] An unprecedented truce (don't shoot)
[01:27.83] Crews travel to the park
[01:29.34] And miracles can happen when we gather in the dark
[01:31.68] Miracles can happen when we gather in the dark (survive the night)
[01:33.95] Miracles can happen when we gather in the dark
[01:36.34] Miracles can happen when we gather in the dark (Warriors come out)
[01:38.60] Miracles can happen when we gather in the dark
[01:41.59] Survive the armies of the night
[01:46.12] Catching air like a plane outta JFK it's Queens seen
[01:50.28] Queens Gambit; pawns out, control the center
[01:52.65] Annex Astoria, let no man enter
[01:55.02] Across the east river, a stormcloud is gatherin'
[01:57.42] War crowds are travelin' northbound, and rather than
[01:59.73] Packin' heat or attackin', we actually seein' traction
[02:02.50] But is Cyrus attractin' police action?
[02:04.68] Cuz you could do 99 things right
[02:06.66] Meet the wrong cop at night, and it's brrap on sight, ya dig
[02:09.34] The wrong cop at night, and it's brrap on sight (survive the night)
[02:11.32] Meet the wrong cop at night, and it's brrap on sight
[02:13.76] Meet the wrong cop at night, and it's brrap on sight
[02:16.21] Meet the wrong cop at night, and it's brrap on sight
[02:18.98] Survive the armies of the night
[02:23.67] It's island time in the city (Warriors come out)
[02:25.79] The island of Manhattan
[02:28.35] Uh-oh, Manhattan's on the scene
[02:30.38] When you say, "New York", we're actually what you mean
[02:32.72] You wanna be a part of it, the cream of the crop
[02:34.95] Get the best of everything, skim the cream off the top
[02:37.36] Now Cyrus has a military, true run crew
[02:39.71] It rivals with the finest from the two-one-two
[02:41.95] The bible says to do 'em as you'd have 'em do unto
[02:44.35] But survival all depends upon the corner you run to
[02:46.73] Survival all depends upon the corner you run to (survive the night)
[02:49.18] Survival all depends upon the corner you run to
[02:51.44] Survival all depends upon the corner you run to (Warriors come out)
[02:53.89] Survival all depends upon the corner you run to
[02:56.62] Survive the armies of the night
[03:01.14] Time come for the clan from Staten (Warriors come out)
[03:04.89] Yo, Ghostface, from the rough streets of Shaolin
[03:07.95] Runnin' through manhattan where the blocks is wildin'
[03:10.34] Been down when futura bomb trains, a night thing
[03:12.94] Fat caps on Krylon cans, it be my liking
[03:15.09] Now how do we make it back home alive
[03:17.26] When we gotta leave our crib at 9:45
[03:19.66] For a midnight meeting, word up, what a fuckin' pain
[03:22.28] Takin' a train to a boat to another train
[03:24.83] Takin' a train to a boat to another train (survive the night)
[03:27.02] Takin' a train to a boat to another train
[03:29.32] Takin' a train to a boat to another train (Warriors, come out to play)
[03:31.85] Takin' a train to a boat to another train
[03:33.97] Damn!
[03:34.53] Survive the armies of the night
[03:39.23] Brooklyn, tell the people (Warriors, come out to play)
[03:41.44] Stand up and shine
[03:43.42] Brooklyn underground lookin' like the United Nations
[03:45.67] East Flatbush Jamaicans be packin' these subway stations
[03:48.22] Sunset Park Asians to Cobble Hill Caucasians
[03:50.43] Far Rockaway to Bay Ridge, the borough is here to stay, bitch
[03:52.83] Head north to The Bronx and properly greet our highness
[03:55.08] Streets are behind Cyrus, message spreadin' like a virus
[03:57.35] The south end of the line is Coney Island's most notorious
[04:00.19] Clap your hands if you're ready to meet The Warriors
[04:02.44] Clap your hands if you're ready to meet The Warriors
[04:04.89] Clap your hands if you're ready to meet The Warriors
[04:07.28] Clap your hands if you're ready to meet The Warriors
[04:09.59] Clap your hands if you're ready to meet The Warriors
[04:11.79] Warriors, come out to playayayayeah
[04:15.21] Roll call!
[04:15.44]
