[COCHISE] Cochise! [COWGIRL] Cowgirl! [FOX] Fox [CLEON] Cleon! [AJAX] Ajax [REMBRANDT] Rembrandt! [SWAN] Swan [DJ] Pon de replay! [COCHISE] Cochise! [COWGIRL] Cowgirl! [FOX] Fox [CLEON] Cleon! [AJAX] Ajax [REMBRANDT] Rembrandt! [SWAN] Swan [CLEON] As far as you can see from the top of the Wonder Wheel... The Warriors are here [COWGIRL & FOX] Come out, come out, come out, come out... [CLEON] From Coney Island Creek to the Stillwell subway station... [CLEON & COCHISE] The Warriors are here [COWGIRL & FOX] Come out, come out, come out, come out and play... [CLEON & SWAN, COWGIRL & FOX] We keep it safe, we keep it clean (Hey) When shit goes down, we intervene (Hey) Every summer, we go to war With every fly-by-night gang who wants to see the shore and (Hey) We hold this boardwalk down [AJAX] So why are we leavin'? [REMBRANDT, spoken] Yeah [AJAX & REMBRANDT] Why the fuck we gotta go uptown? [CLEON & COCHISE] 'Cause Cyrus holds the crown [SWAN] Think we need a better reason [SWAN & AJAX] We've never gone that far uptown... [CLEON] But the truce is on and Cyrus made that happen [FOX, spoken] Word [CLEON & COCHISE] And the truth is we all wanna know what happens now... [SWAN] If the night goes sideways... [REMBRANDT, spoken] What? [AJAX] We really should be packin' [CLEON, spoken] No! [SWAN] And we're stuck uptown... [COWGIRL] Uh-huh, uh-huh [SWAN] It's a long way down [FOX] It's a long way [CLEON, FOX] Cyrus is magic (Down, down, down) Whole lotta magic [SWAN & FOX] We're going in all by ourselves [FOX & COWGIRL] It's a long way [CLEON, FOX & COWGIRL] Hey! You better have my back (Down, down, down) 'Cause this is happenin' [CLEON & COCHISE] We're going in like everybody else... [AJAX, FOX & COWGIRL] Yes, we wreak havoc and beat traffic (Come out, come out, come out, come out) Rembrandt, you bring the cans and keep taggin' our sweet graphic (Come out, come out, come out, come out) [AJAX & REMBRANDT (FOX & COWGIRL)] And see where all of NYC stands when we keep at it (Come out, come out, come out, come out) 'Cause anybody testin' these hands will see static, capiche? (Hey) [ALL FIVE BOROUGHS] Survive the night [TRAIN CONDUCTOR, ALL FIVE BOROUGHS] Last stop, Van Cortlandt Park (Survive the night) [ALL FIVE BOROUGHS] Survive the night [CLEON, ALL FIVE BOROUGHS] Warriors, get ready. Vests on? (Survive the night) [WARRIORS, ALL FIVE BOROUGHS] We ready (Survive the night) [COCHISE, ALL FIVE BOROUGHS] Cochise! (Survive the armies of the night) [COWGIRL] Cowgirl! [FOX] Fox [CLEON] Cleon! [AJAX, ALL FIVE BOROUGHS] Ajax (Survive the armies of the night) [REMBRANDT] Rembrandt! [SWAN] Swan [SWAN, spoken] We in the Bronx! [DJ] Hey boppers It's midnight Bring your swagger and your spark To Van Cortlandt park [DJ & CLEON] Hey boppers Cyrus wants seven delegates from each crew This means you [DJ, CLEON & SWAN] Hey boppers The truce is on Leave your weapons back at home, don't pack no chrome Hey boppers Rep your set with your head high [DJ] Can we unify all of NY? We run the night...
