Backbone 03:46
Backbone Written and performed by G'Ra Asim, Rhiana Hernandez, Jake Lazaroff and Joey Grabmeier We got a little bit Of Beatrice and Benedick lately But the opposite Is a real and legitimate maybe I wish she’d Burn some sage So I could Read her palm I’ve got to Crash that wave She's always Coasting on Jiji, doll, you're jamming How you overwhelm My wherewithal, you gamine From a classic film And I won't waste another Moment on each other’s Sticks and stones ‘Cause baby’s got backbone She gets a bad rap ‘Cause she couldn't do a clap back better I'm a mad cap That she wouldn't take a stab at ever But I don’t Buy it, girl I'm keeping the receipt You're such a Riot grrrl So come disturb my peace Jiji, doll, you're jamming How you overwhelm My wherewithal, you gamine From a classic film And I won't waste another Moment on each other’s Sticks and stones ‘Cause baby’s got backbone Your anaconda won't Be welcome She’ll put your shit in a Full Nelson Oh my god, Jiji, I cannot front Oh my god, Jiji, you’re what I want

Fever 04:01
Fever Written and performed by G'Ra Asim, Rhiana Hernandez, Jake Lazaroff and Joey Grabmeier On the sweetest sugar high She had lips like licorice But loving on the fly Cannot get you by We had wings like Icarus Did I get far too close To just quit her glucose Would she give a new dose Baby girl's a fever That I tried my best to break Could she be a keeper Or my most thoughtless mistake? And even if she's neither I'm a wreck for goodness sake She's the only one I come down with And the medicine didn't take There’s a burning in my skin That no one else can remedy So doctor, check me in Call my next of kin Pour one out in memory In case there's no antidote Save to sing with blue notes Because that's all that she wrote Baby girl’s a fever That I tried my best to break Could she be a keeper Or my most thoughtless mistake? And even if she’s neither I’m a wreck for goodness sake She’s the only one I come down with And the medicine didn’t take And all this time I thought I could endure The sleepless nights and rising temperatures I tell myself it’s caveat emptor But there’s no cure for me unless I’m yours Baby girl’s a fever That I tried my best to break Could she be a keeper Or my most thoughtless mistake? (most thoughtless mistake, most thoughtless mistake…) Baby girl’s a fever That I tried my best to break Could she be a keeper Or my most thoughtless mistake? And even if she’s neither I’m a wreck for goodness sake She’s the only one I come down with And the medicine didn’t take On the sweetest sugar high

Historically White College Written and performed by G'Ra Asim, Rhiana Hernandez and Jake Lazaroff The kids are all white But they say I’m welcome The kids are polite So I don’t dare tell them Every now and then I feel like an alien It’s water ‘neath the bridge at Historically white college Monday morning: read the classlist They’re gonna need some extra practice saying your name so the frat kids in your midst whisper “terrorist” So you try to make up your mind If you’re gonna erupt this time If you want to discuss this sense of injustice You’ve come to the wrong place The kids are all white But they say I’m welcome The kids are polite So I don’t dare tell them Every now and then I feel like an alien It’s water ‘neath the bridge At historically white college You’re spending your time looking inward They’re singing rap songs with the “N” word You thought that this place was “left of center” all it means is that they went green So you try to make up your mind If you’re gonna erupt this time If you want to discuss this sense of injustice You’ve come to the wrong place The kids are all white But they say I’m welcome The kids are polite So I don’t dare tell them Every now and then I feel like an alien It’s water ‘neath the bridge At historically white college If you got the gumption You can tell there’s something Wrong with how they’re running this place Can’t you see it’s bigger Than warnings and triggers Who’s to say what spaces are safe Or who we embrace When the kids are all white But they say I’m welcome The kids are polite So I don’t dare tell them Every now and then I feel like an alien It’s water ‘neath the bridge At historically white That’s the way it is At historically white college

Here’s The Plan Written and performed by G'Ra Asim, Rhiana Hernandez, Jake Lazaroff and Joey Grabmeier I’m gonna be the one and only Cinderella story Baby, you can call me corny I’ll wear the shoe if it fits But even if my eyes are starry I can’t say that I’m sorry I’ve waited too long for a chance and night like this Everyone, they're all the same They think we got so much to gain By giving up on dreams we had when we were kids I don't live in Neverland But I think I'll go on as planned Roll the dice And stick it out with thinking big 'Cause we could be the one and only Cinderella story Baby, you can call me corny I'll wear the shoe if it fits But even if my eyes are starry I can't say that I'm sorry I've waited too long for a chance and a night like this They can mock my earnestness It sure beats the alternative Like waiting on a third act twist To give you more Lately I just smile and nod At lesser men with longer odds The old guitar in my garage Still knows the score ‘Cause I do what I can In the land of never-weres and also rans Here’s the plan: We're gonna be the one and only Cinderella story Baby, you can call me corny I'll wear the shoe if it fits But even if my eyes are starry I can't say that I'm sorry I've waited too long for a chance and a night like this What if you knew what you wanted? What if you threw down the gauntlet? You could be the one Cinderella story Baby, you can call me corny I’ll wear the shoe if it fits But even if my eyes are starry I can’t say that I’m sorry I’ve waited too long for a chance and a night like this
