When we talk about women It’s White When we talk about black It’s Men Where do I come in? Disrespected, unprotected everyday Erasing my existence coz it’s in the way Fuck it’s been a long day. But they’ll tell me I’m strong So they can pile it on They’ll call me queen So I’ll ignore everything Hey grrrl don’t cry Hey grrrl don’t scream Just do your part for the community Suffocating invisibility Where my riots Dem streets so quiet x2 So I’m calling grrrls to the front To get what they want Rejecting the mule Free myself from the pull Hey grrrl go’on cry Hey grrrl go’on scream Just know that now it’s up to you and me And it will crumble Till you do right by us Poetic Justice x2

Krish 03:42
16 and awkward, walking home. Hiding her body under Frumpy clothes. He creeps behind her Says “Do you need a ride”. She freezes up and slowly declines. Out of the sky comes Krish Black Grrrl Defender She steps up to him and says. When you come for her You come for me x4 2:30 Monday stuck in class. Listening to other girls talk trash “Wish you could be us”, they hissed. Claiming her womanhood didn’t exist Kicking down the door comes Krish Black Grrrl Defender She steps up to them and says. When you come for her You come for me x4 She’ll knock you down Gonna get kicked around x2 Krish the Black Grrrl Defender x4 Think twice before you come for us Think twice before you fuck with us x2 Krish the Black Grrrl Defender x4

Go Deep 03:57
(verse) She looks like Laura Winslow Riot grrrl coming out of her headphones Fancies Martha Plimpton’s wardrobe She dreams of living in a Seidelman movie Flipping through Bust magazines But she always felt, something was missing (chorus) You can’t fully relate And it doesn’t have to be that way You don’t identify Don’t waste time asking why You gotta go deeper Everything becomes more clearer Just go deeper It all becomes more clearer (verse) She wondered where the wild ones are Bored to tears looking pretty Looking for something more gritty Cuss you out like a sailor Ain’t no way you can tame here Won’t be constrained Not playing the game (chorus) You can’t fully relate And it doesn’t have to be that way You don’t identify Don’t waste time asking why You gotta go deeper Everything becomes more clearer Just go deeper It all becomes more clearer (verse) We got Nona Hendryx, Toukie Smith and Betty Davis Mz. Tina Turner, Joyce Kennedy and Parlet Brides of Funkenstein, Renee Cox, Claudia Leanner Toni Young, Paula Kelly and Grace Jones Tamara Dobson, Abbie Lincoln, and of course Pam Grier Then it all became clear (end) You gotta go deeper Go Deeper Go Deeper Don’t let em erase her Deep Go deep

Papaya 02:20
I didn’t want And that’s okay Futures brighter No guilt No shame Give me all your PA- PAY- AS x2

(verse) Be quiet, act right Dontcha wanna be ladylike Not a hair out of place Or mama’s in disgrace Better cover up them curves Telling you you’ll get what you deserve However I’m not your debutant So imma do just what I want No Disrespect! (verse) Saying no to conform I don’t care for the norm Got a nappy fro It’s not neatly combed And I ain’t speakin’ properly Twerkin’ in the streets Settin’ my body free It’s my autonomy Not your property Don’t you jezebel me I gotta righteous discontent But you’ll just stereotype it No Disrespect!

Push me to the floor Wrap yourself in innocence Who do you think they’ll believe more The cruelty behind the smile You got ‘em all in denial No! Gloves off Gloves off Don’t waste your time I already heard that lie Protecting your purity is American as genocide 1920 you decided to take a side The cruelty behind the smile Yet I’m the one on trial No! Gloves off Gloves off Don’t waste your time I already heard that lie Save your tears dear That shit won’t work here x2 No!
