A Light Or Somethin'
Hey, the cops are gone
You got a light or somethin'?
No
Why're you being so quiet in this subway tunnel?
What you think, I bite or somethin'?
Let's just keep moving until Union Square
Where?
Off the street
Underground, where it's safe
Can you make me a warrior?
Hm, I don't think you'd like initiation
Inituate me, I'm a f- Warrior
Gotta get to Union Square before the cops reach the station
So what you wanna do, jump me into the crew?
Well, you split from the Orphans
Are you loyal?
I'm loyal to you
What's wrong? Kiss me
You know, from the moment we came uptown, everything's gone wrong?
Let's just keep walking
If I'm everything wrong, why'd you keep me along?
Tell me
Why stick up for a stranger, in spite of the danger?
Tell me
I followed the night just to be in your corner
So where we goin'?
I'd fight by your side, I would stay in your corner
And you know it
Look at me
What in the hell are you looking for?
Look at me
I'm by your side, what you looking for?
We got life, just this one life
And I wanna live, not just live to survive
Look at me
God, let me know what you're looking for
Don't know what you want from me
Don't know what you think you see in me
Don't know why you're hauntin' me
Do you want some different scenery?
Don't tell me you believe in me
You don't even know me
You lonely?
You'll be just as lonely in Coney, look
I've been in and out of juvie
Livin' in a kind of horror movie
She gets killed if she sits still
But her sick skill keeps her moving
Gotta keep moving
I was sleeping under the boardwalk
When the Warriors came and claimed me
Cleon took me in and named me Swan
Now Cleon's gone
And tonight can't be undone
Nothing done can be undone
Look at me
Be careful, I'm broken
So don't put your hope in me
What are you looking for?
Look at me
I'm beat up, I'm busted
Do not put your trust in me
Look at me
Mercy, what do you want me to say that you're beautiful (what do you see?)
'Cause I think we both know that you're beautiful
You're more than beautiful, more than your body
You're more than these lips, or this face
And if we ever somehow get out of this place
Then you'll go (then we'll go)
Find something new
It's all new
Mercy
The light at the end of this tunnel's got nothing on you
Keep walkin'
I think I see a light or somethin'
You got a light or somethin'?
No
Why're you being so quiet in this subway tunnel?
What you think, I bite or somethin'?
Let's just keep moving until Union Square
