Why we leavin'?
All the amenities, I really coulda stayed, the way they treat you like the mayor up here
I think you pissed yourself running from Hector Lavoe
Uh-uh, that's rain
The Bronx, the Bronx pissed on us if you didn't notice
Ah, feels good to me
What? The rain?
Pssh, gettin' out the Bronx!
Who named this place and put a frickin X in it? What's that about?
Yo, my name's Ajax, I got a fuckin' X
A X on that bottle of gin, you weren't supposed to bring any liquor
You aren't supposed to drink on duty, period
Well, we are leaving the Bronx alive
That's what I'm talking about!
We coulda stomped 'em, least I flipped 'em the bird
I was ready to pop anybody!
They were handsome though

Nice tag, Rembrandt, let 'em know the Warriors were here before we fly back home
Home free
When we get there, that's when we've made it
Hey, no sweat, war chief
She's afraid she'll get taken out like Cleon
Hey, I found Coney Island on this map!
Figure out how many stops to Union Square
Come on, that's high math for Rembrandt
It's alright, nobody can read these maps anyway
Forget it then, what's the difference? We're going home

Shit, this train's had it, is that a track fire?
This is fuckin' impossible
What the shit are we gonna do? Aw, this fuckin' sucks
This train is going out of service, all passengers off the train
Why couldn't it rain now?
Come on
Still in the damn Bronx

Yeah, how are you? Thought I'd call and check in
Yeah, this girl Cyrus had that, uh, accident
Well uh, this crew, the, the Warriors? They can take the fall, yeah, yeah
Why not? We will, take care o' yourself

We set?
We're set alright, somebody should pick their ass up
The Riffs sent out the word, they want 'em alive, we don't
As soon as somebody grabs them, the better
You worried the Warriors are gonna shoot their mouths off before they get racked?
Yeah, right, I'm worried! I just don't want the Riffs down on my ass
They're looking for the Warriors, remember? We can do some lookin' too
