Shenseea - Reunion Square Lyrics

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 (transfer here for the N, QB, RR)
Platforms movin' in and out like lost robots (and LL trains)
Trying to get home? (Please be careful of the platform edge)
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! Hey! Yes! Woo!

Reunion Square!

Riunite 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

Ha ha

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*cking scared

Ah-she-ca! Ah-ah-she-ca!
Ah-she-ca! Ah-ah-she-ca! (Hey)
Ah-she-ca! Ah-ah-she-ca! (Hey)
Warriors show 'em whatchoo gah!

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!

Oh shit shit shit shit shit shit shit shit

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! (Officers are on the scene)
Ladies! (Officers are on the scene)

You could do ninety-nine things right (officers are on the scene)
Meet the wrong cop at night, and it's brrap 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*ckin' 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, scene
On the scene, scene, scene, scene-scene
Officers are on the scene-scene, s-s-scene
Officers, officers, officers, scene-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
The wrong cop at night, the wrong cop at night
Survival all depends upon the corner you run to
Anybody testing these hands can see static
The wrong cop at night, the wrong cop at night

I'm sick of runnin' when I've done nothin' wrong
The wrong cop at night, the wrong cop at night
Only the strong survive, survive, survive, survive
The wrong cop at night, the wrong cop at night
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
The wrong cop at night, the wrong cop at night
Survival all depends upon the corner you run to
Anybody testing these hands can see static
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
It's a long way down
Down, down, down, down, down
The south end of the line is Coney Island
The south end of the line is Coney Island

Look, there's the train!
It's now or never, and it's just a hundred feet away

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

Hey, let's get gone, get on this train! (C'mon, c'mon, c'mon, c'mon)
Everybody on this train! (C'mon, c'mon, c'mon, c'mon)
Muscle through the pain and make it through! (C'mon, c'mon, c'mon, c'mon)
(C'mon, c'mon, c'mon, c'mon)

This is a Brooklyn-bound train

This cop'll stop the subway line (c'mon, c'mon, c'mon, c'mon)
Unless somebody stays behind (c'mon, c'mon, c'mon, c'mon)
To keep 'em occupied (c'mon, c'mon, c'mon, c'mon)
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-
