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      RIOT! RIOT! RIOT! RIOT!      Take a swing, fight back   Chances that you take   Knock down, drag out   Stories all the same.   Street fight tonite   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 tonite      You better get ready-no time to mess around   You better get ready-cause there's no backing down
