Dragon Lee

Now, nobody is picking on anybody

Now l am asking you, fair and square

Did you pick on him yesterday?

How nice, everyone's here

l, Dragon Lee, is here,

no one dares to hit back, so be my guest

Do me a favor, the new guy

Can you make it quick,

10 minutes have passed

You don't really need that much thinking

lf you don't f***'em up today

One day they'll f*** you up

My name is Chou Yi-Mong,

friends call me Mosquito

l moved to Monga when l was 1 7

l became a gangster,

because of a chicken leg

All this fighting, is there a meaning to it?

What the f*** is meaning?

Your daddy only know brotherhood,

never heard of meaning

Since l was little,

l had no father, no friends

l was bullied by

all the neighbors and kids

Until l met my brothers

My life seemed to have some meaning

No

What the f*** is meaning?

All l know, is brotherhood

Dragon Lee

The only son of Geta,

the boss of Monga Temple Front

A street prince born with a silver spoon

As the son of a gangster boss

Naturally

all the kids respect him as the big brother

Since he's little

he's been the gangster force on campus,

maintaining the orders

So much so, that the word Brotherhood,

in his definition

Has everything to do with Power

( Protection fee, 500 )

However, the one who really has

what it takes to be a boss, is him

Monk, real name Ho Tien-Yo

His family owns

a Buddhist Accessory Shop

When he's 5, a fortune-teller

determined that this kid

was to become a gangster

( Your boy is destined to be a gangster )

His dad therefore asked his best friend

Geta to look after him

Monk is extremely intelligent

Showed amazing talent as early as

in elementary school

He can finish test papers

for 4 people at once

Each year,

he won six championships at school:

writing, speech, reading, spelling

calligraphy and art

( Boss, the high mountain tea

you ordered is here )

Because he has high lQ,

and he's resourceful and well-mannered

Comparing to any of us

Monk does everything with

more ease and professionalism

Growing up with Dragon

Monk only cares for Dragon

The way l see it

His definition of brotherhood is

lncomprehensible to others

A-Po, Huang Wan-Po

An underdog

who knows best about survival

( l've been a butcher all my life )

( How come my son is such a coward? )

He claims that he's killed 233 pigs

Done 107 women

Kicked 375 people's asses

( 376,379... )

Brotherhood for him,

is a means to hustle around

A truth only idiots would buy into

The idiot A-Po refers to

Would be Monkey

Monkey, real name Hou Chun-Sheng

His dad died soon after he was born

His mom ran away with some man

( On my white horse )

His grandpa raised him

( Through three territories )

( This is my line, who the heck are you? )

( l am Chun-Sheng )

Just like me

Monkey was often bullied as a kid

What's different is

When he turned 10

He Suddenly realized

that he was good at fighting

Since then,

he's the one beating people up

No one can hit him

lt was in the same year

That Dragon recruited him,

and he became a gangster kid

l took on three all by myself

You're talking sh*t

The highest record we ever made

was to pick up a mass fight

among all gangs in Monga

lt was that night

that five of us became sworn brothers

and formed the Prince Gang

Were not born on the same day

But are willing to die on the same day

Shall anyone think twice, will be punished

by the Master God of Monga

To have the limbs broken

and die an ugly death

Hey.

What do you want to do the most in life?

Join the gang, be the boss

You wanna replace me?

lf l become the boss,

then you'll be the boss's boss

Sweet talker

What if you ain't in the gang?

lf Monk wasn't a gangster

he could get a PhD and win Nobel prize

Anyway he's gotta be someone big lah

lf l ain't in the gang, what would l be?

Eighteen Copper Men conquer the world

with Shaolin Kung-Fu

Famous traditional kung-fu medicine

Go back to sleep

What about you,

what you wanna do the most?

Me, l wanna go to Japan

And do what?

Go see the cherry blossoms

So ''romantico''

My dad sent home a postcard

from Japan before he died

On it,

there's cherry blossoms all over the sky

He got passed on some kind of disease

two months after he got there

He probably died not even

knowing l was born

Have you ever seen cherry blossoms?

Look, cherry blossom

Here, to your dad

F***! What you splashed on me with?

Pee, of course

B*tch, a**hole

You can't get me, won't get me
