Say you got two friends
So tight with them
See them all running
They all want revenge
See them on the street
See them all around
Upset the system
Gonna burn it down
Take a swing, fight back
Chances that you take
Knock down, drag out
Stories all the same
Street fight tonight
What you gonna do?
Someone’s always running up
Behind you
See them on the run
With bullets in their hand
See them all fighting
They all want revenge
You want a riot
You want a fight
New York City
Is ours tonight
Take a swing, fight back
Chances that you take
Knock down, drag out
Stories all the same
Street fight tonight
What you gonna do?
Someone’s always running up
Behind you
You better get ready
No time to mess around
You better get ready
‘Cause there’s no backing down
You better get ready
No time to mess around
You better get ready
‘Cause there’s no backing down
They all want revenge
They all want revenge
They all want revenge
