survive the night lyrics

people of new york,
crews of the city
who rule dis madness?
hey boppers, at midnight
there's a gathering after dark
in van cortlandt park
hey boppers, cyrus needs five boroughs
to see this through, this means you
hey boppers, the truce is on
no weapons but your fists, she insists.....
hey boppers, keep your radio tuned tight......
time it just right, and you just might..
survive the night (survive the night)
warriors, come out to playayayayeah.....
survive the armies of the night....
warriors, come out to playayayayeah....
boogie down!
who's steppin' bright for the bronx?
this is thе sound of something being born
from the ashеs of the bronx
the siren squeals and the car horn honks
and what the bronx wants
is not a combative retaliatory response
it's a renaissance
whit cyrus tellin' the truth
underrepresented youths
an unprecedented truce (don't shoot)
crews travel to the park
and miracles can happen
when we gather in the dark.....
miracles can happen when we gather in the dark
miracles can happen when we gather in the dark
miracles can happen when we gather in the dark
miracles can happen when we gather in the dark
survive the armies of the night...
catching air like a plane outta JFK
it's queens, seen?
queens gambit, pawns out, control the center
annex astoria, let no man enter across the east river
a stormcloud is gatherin'
war crowds are travelin' northbound, and rather than
packin' heat or attackin',
we actually see in' traction
but is cyrus attractin' police action?
cuz you could do 99 things right
meet the wrong cop at night,
and it's brrrrrap on sight, ya dig?
.....the wrong cop at night,
and it's brrrrrap on sight
meet the wrong cop at night,
and it's brrrrrap on sight
meet the wrong cop at night,
and it's brrrrrap on sight
meet the wrong cop at night,
and it's brrrrrap on sight
survive the armies of the night...
it's island time in the city,
the island of manhattan
uh-oh, manhattan's on the scene
when you say, "new york"
we're actually what you mean
you wanna be a part of it,
the cream of the corp,
get the best of everything,
skim the cream off the top
now cyrus has a military,
true run crew
it rivals with the finest from the 2-1-2
the bible says to do 'em
as you'd have 'em do unto
but survival all depends upon the corner you run to
survival all depends upon the corner you run to
survival all depends upon the corner you run to
survival all depends upon the corner you run to
survive the armies of the night...
time come for the clan from staten...
ghostface, from the rough streets of shaolin
runnin' through manhattan
where the blocks is wildin'
been down when futura bomb trains, a night thing
fat caps on krylon cans, it be my liking
now how do we make it back home alive
when we gotta leave our crib at 9:45
for a midnight meeting, word up,
what a f*ckin' pain,
takin' a train to a boat to another train
takin' a train to a boat to another train!?
takin' a train to a boat to another train!?
takin' a train to a boat to another train!?
takin' a train to a boat to another train!?
survive the armies of the night...
brooklyn, tell the people, stand up and shine...
b-b-brooklyn underground
lookin' like the united nations!
east flatbush jamaicans
be packin' these subway stations!
sunset park asians to cobble hill caucasians
far rockaway to bay ridge,
the borough is here to say, b*tch!
head north to the bronx
and properly greet our highness
streets are behind cyrus,
message spreadin' like a virus
the south end of the line
is coney island's most notorious
clap your hands if you're ready to meet the warriors!
clap your hands if you're ready to meet the warriors!
clap your hands if you're ready to meet the warriors!
clap your hands if you're ready to meet the warriors!
clap your hands if you're ready to meet the warriors!
warriors, come out to playayayayeah
