Reunion Square Songtext
von Shenseea

This is 14th street, Union Square

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, trains, colors, letters, and numbers
Platforms movin' in and out like lost robots
Trying to get home? It′s a labyrinth
Can you crack the code? Or will it crack you?

Roll call
Cochise
Cowgirl
Fox
Rembrandt
God
Half of us are gone


Cochise
Not now, girl
Fox
Hey! Mercy!
Rembrandt!
Swan
You made it
Reunion Square!

Reunite on ice
That's nice
Only one more train to Coney
Yes!
Let's find the train that gets us home
And grab a bite!
Hey, yo, this hot dude bit me!

Haha!
I wanna tag this moment
Reunion Square!
Hey, yo, we just escaped this vampire′s lair
And yo, I smashed that bad guy with his own chair
We were not prepared
We were f- scared

Ah-she-ca! Ah-ah-she-ca!
Ah-she-ca! Ah-ah-she-ca!
Ah-she-ca! Ah-ah-she-ca!
Warriors show ′em what you got!


I'm Cochise
Oh please, you know my style
I′m always steady with the verses, and I'm versatile

Turnstile, here′s a token for one last ride
They call me Cowgirl but yo we almost died

Yo, it's nice to meet you (what?)
My name is Mercy (who?)
I′m a walkin' talkin' fire breathing controversy
Let′s turn it up!

You gotta turn it down
What now?
It′s the cops
What?
Turn around
Officers are on the scene

Yoo-hoo, ladies
You could do 99 things right
Meet the wrong cop at night, and it's brrrap on sight, ya dig?
Yoo-hoo, ladies
Hands where we can see ′em if you please

I'm sick of being afraid of you-
Fox?
Fox
And what you have the power to do
Yoo-hoo!
You′re the baddest gang in the city!
Fox!
It's true!
Ha, and your color′s f- powder blue
Careful

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?

Oh, you wanna rumble?
No problem!

Officers are on the scene, on the scene, the scene, on the scene, scene, scene, scene
Officers are on the 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
Survival all depends upon the corner you run to
The wrong cop at night, the wrong cop at night

I′m sick of runnin′, when I've done nothin′ wrong
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
The wrong cop at night, the wrong cop at night

Only the strong survive, survive
Anybody testing these hands can see static
Survival all depends upon the corner you run to
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 (the wrong cop at night, the wrong cop at night)
Survival all depends upon the corner you run to
Survival all depends upon the corner you run to
There's the train!
It′s now or never, and it's just a hundred feet away

And half a mile underground
We find the train that′s Brooklyn-bound
The captain's trying to chase us down
Just don't look back or turn around

Hey!
Let′s get gone, get on this train
Everybody on this train
Muscle through the pain and make it through (this is a Brooklyn-bound train)

This cop′ll stop the subway line
Unless somebody stays behind
To keep 'em occupied
And suddenly I know what I have to do
Get them home alive
Fox?

Stand clear of the closing

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

Stay down!

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

Ha!

Warriors, don′t wait on me

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

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
