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!

Krish 03:04
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

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 Ya, 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 Them 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

Class Kombat 02:46
(verse) How much more can you take? When you can’t live off what you make Two parties just the same Giving you someone else to blame Keep praising the New Deal Yet the hunger you feel is real How much more can you take? When you’re crushing under the weight (chorus) Presenting a Class Kombat Class Kombat Class Kombat Commence Class Kombat x2 (verse) Landlords collecting big Pushing folks out in the skids A generation drowns in debt While the ruling class revels in theft I said, how much more will you take (x3) Before it’s too late (chorus) For the Class Kombat Class Kombat Class Kombat Commence Class Kombat x2 (repeat chorus at end)
