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
