Scowling faces on the rooftops I count thirty, maybe forty The Orphans The other crews don't love 'em But still, there's plenty of 'em We can take these wimps Maybe, but it's still a long way home You lead We'll follow Let me do the talking, be easy And here comes the leader Looks greasy What is this, a late-night cosmetology class? You must be lost! Can I see your hall pass? Ha ha ha! Someone show these ladies Where they have gone wrong You dare to cross our lawn? With your colors on? Get gone! Easy, easy, we are only passing through On our way downtown From that meeting in the boogie down We've got no beef with you What meeting? Forget it It was nothing What meeting? It was chaos A waste of time I'm sensing a little condescension Do you think we're not big time? Two three four! Orphans rise Orphans rise We got a rep as heavy as the whole West Side The whole West Side That's right We woulda been invited to the conclave, guys We lost our invitation Yeah, they write about our rumbles in the New York Post The New York Post But someday, the New York Times Heavy, heavy We would not wanna beef with you Heavy is right We are just so Lost and lonely What do you suggest we do? Well, as long as you come in peace We do I can vouch for your safe release Thank you We extend our protection to those we know Let's go Wait! In Orphan Town In Orphan Town We're known for our compassion when the chips are down The chips are down Oh! And also known for bashin' in our deadly foes We also f*ck shit up sometimes Yeah! If anybody asks, that's how our story goes Our story goes We're compassionate bros Buck buck buck buck buck buck b-cack! Mercy! Buck buck buck buck buck buck b-cack! Quit playin' Mercy! Who is that? I dunno, but get ready Get ready Get ready Chickens! What a coop full of chickens! Oh, you talk the talk Witcha hand on your b'calk! But you if you let them walk Through your turf Like you're nothing but dirt you are Chickens! You ain't orphans, you're bitches! They bat their eyelashes And you turn a mess Damn, you're brain-damaged These damsels are not in distress Hey, I like your vest You wanna gimme one? What? Did I fuckin' stutter you can get another one why don't ya gimme one? Help us get through and I'll see what I can do Bitch, I don't want a new one, no I want the vest offa you No chance Mercy You really gonna let 'em walk around all through your little territory? Mercy! What do you think they're gonna laugh about When they get back and tell the story? Mercy I'm losing my cool Pssh, you ain't never once been cool Leave her alone You don't even know me Take off your colors It's just our mark, man Gimme that vest It doesn't mean we're at war Or we gotta rain down on you From the rooftops F*ck you We're walking home Orphans? Round up! Right through these Wack fucks Thank you I'm sayin' Let's go! Warriors We're gonna rain on you tonight! Ajax, you still got that bottle of gin? Yes ma'am Cochise, gimme your lighter Ha! Light 'em up Now all we need's a piece of fabric Here! Let's make their world a little brighter Orphans rise Orphans rise We're here in greater numbers with a big surprise A big surprise Girls! You made us get our weapons, now you see what you get You see what you get! You see what you get! You see what you get! You see what you get when you mess with The glorious Orphans, guys!
