Light the World on Fire 

by Cait the Great and Badass Beth

Welcome to the wilderness, this broken land,

Overrun with hungry mouths and outstretched hands,

Beneath the weight of it the Earth below you groans,

So do all the people who call this wreckage home.

                And even you have your burdens to bear

                But it’s hard to breathe with the smoke in the air

                Way out here one needs a heart of steel.

                Only the strong survive and make wounds heal

Chorus: Take a torch, bear the flame,

Though the winds around you curl,

Have heart and be brave,

Go forth and light the world on fire

Rap: Back track to the fact of the matter, enough of this chatter

She got them abs flatter than open 18 day old Sparletta*

But I don’t mean to dwell on appearances, to spit about physicality,

She’s going to break you, shake you, with her fiery personality

                “Teacha teacha Lina!” yeah we so proud to see ya

                Playing Jenga, the blocks fall down but you never going to crumble with this girl

                In town, that’s sound construction, hitting those junctions, cooking up lunch

And I’mma tell you what badass means

Everyday it’s the same old rice and beans

Washing clothes by hand to get your t-shirts clean

But now that’s normal shit, my home girl’s fine with it

Suckin’ on a mango pit, squeezing life outta this experience.

                She gonna whirl you around and run this town

                Babies crying, “teacha he beat me!” yeah she’ll always calm them down

                Her heart’s bigger than a buffalo heard

                Don’t flip her the bird, kitten’s mittens the word

Just hold up your paws and rock between the walls

You ain’t never gonna fall when you have her number to call

So as you grow up, up, up, to whatever you aspire

You gonna light this wo-wo-wo-world on fire

Chorus: Take a torch, bear the flame,

Though the winds around you curl,

Have heart and be brave,

Go forth and light the world on fire
