They say we're too moody The Normies never liked that They say we lack their beauty But it's our power they despise of I used to give a damn if they liked me And I'd suppress what's inside me Now I don't give a damn if they like it Or not - baby I'M NORMALLY LIKE THIS I don't give a damn if they like it. I'm normally like this I don't give a damn if they like it I'm normally like this L-l-like this, L-l-like this I'm normally like this L-l-like this, L-l-like this I'm normally like this They're really trying to gatekeep From the new age of ALT kids The rejects can't reject me! I've just found something to belong in & who'd you think you are to dismiss us? Did they make you vindictive? But if I gave a damn you don't like it I’D STILL BE NORMALLY LIKE THIS I don't give a damn if they like it. I'm normally like this I don't give a damn if they like it I'm normally like this L-l-like this, L-l-like this I'm normally like this L-l-like this, L-l-like this I'm normally like this I don't wanna speak to strangers (strangers, strangers, strangers) I ain't gotta please you haters (haters, haters, haters) Worry 'bout your own damn faces (faces, faces, faces) Back off! I don't wanna be changed! Just admit you're scared of us Never loved, gave no care to us Remember, you laughed with your mates at us Now you wanna act like you're cool with us I still don't give a damn if you like it BECAUSE I’M NORMALLY LIKE THIS I don't give a damn if they like it I'm normally like this I don't give a damn if they like it I'm normally like this We don't give a damn if you like it We're normally like this We don't give a damn if you like it Or not! WE’RE NORMALLY LIKE THIS

Did they treat you wrong? Did you hold your tongue? Were you better off being dead & gone? Are you over it? Or did the feeling stick? Wanna find your place in this world MISFIT?! SCREAM! We'll just burn the city down Damn right, we're always loud Made our friends in lost & found Raging with the MISFITS now We're the Freaks you talked about Damn right, you'll shut your mouth Used to being so left out Raging with the MISFITS now I'm not one of them & they can shove it! They push their opinions & they treat us like we're nothing. Thinking that we never got a single piece of loving and if that's the case, I bet my life I've got you covered! AAGHH! OH! NO! Don't wanna be one of those?! AAGHH! OH! NO! I'm only me. Heaven knows. Make way for the Misfits Who'd you think you are? People laugh cause we're different Crying all alone, until I found the ones who get this. We're the Mother Freaking MISFITS Who'd you think u are? That you laugh cause we're different?! Get this Normie out my business. Thought I'd die alone cause nobody ever gets this. Until I found the freaking MISFITS If you treat us wrong We won't hold our tongues Cause the outcasts all wanna scream this song. We ain't over it We let the feeling stick Now we've found our place with this worlds' MISFITS SCREAM! We'll just burn the city down Damn right, we're always loud Made our friends in lost & found Raging with the MISFITS now We're the Freaks you talked about Damn right, you'll shut your mouth Used to being so left out Raging with the MISFITS now Why are you fighting it? Get here with us! Bet you're tired of trying to be what you're not! If you couldn't express what you felt growing up Then it only makes sense that you range now with us! AAGHH! OH! NO! Don't wanna be one of those?! AAGHH! OH! NO! I'm only me. Heaven knows. Make way for the Misfits Who'd you think you are? People laugh cause we're different Crying all alone, until I found the ones who get this. We're the Mother Freaking' MISFITS Who'd you think u are? That you laugh cause we're different?!

It’s a Freak Show Everybody's here Because they hurt someone Nobody will speak I guess they soul-burnt Freak Show Everybody's here Because they lost someone Maybe when we die We'll find we're soul-cursed (x2) Got to see what it do I got bodies by the pool You can play but you'll loose Hide & Seek. Hide from who? Hold my space. Hold my dude Got an APB running by my whole crew I'm a ride by. Nothing that B can do I'm on C4 coming in beef on you He'll give his life for mine Poison and blood for wine Dying to kill my time Troubled with over shine Tinkering around my castle Lingering around my pearls Think I'll put you under gravel I'm not like those other girls It's a Freak Show Everybody's here Because they hurt someone Nobody will speak I guess they soul-burnt FreakShow Everybody's here Because they lost someone Maybe when we die We'll find we're soul-cursed Blood. I'm walking in - Red Bottoms Bud. I'm smelling that - Green Cotton Flood. Now they're in twos - Ark 'em Hood. But I ain't - know no Robin. Give her some juice and that girl start hopping Letting her loose on the boys I'm mobbing Got black diamonds. Jewel theft Everyone's running But look what they left. I, every time you leave me I won't speak Open up my eyes You can't. Hey yeah yeah You want to waste my day I cannot meet you there I've gotta game to play Hey yeah yeah Hey yeah yeah You brought a kiss to pay Blue like I'm in my Jays Park all up in my brain Hey yeah yeah Freak Show Work out. Waist in. For me. For him My God, I sin I doubt within Life ain't nothing like the movies They should tell me what I should be I'm loud. You win For kin. I'm in Its a Freak Show Everybody's here Because they hurt someone Nobody will speak I guess they soul-burnt Freak Show Everybody's here Because they lost someone Maybe when we die We'll find we're soul-cursed

about

With their fearless fusion of Metal, Rap, Electronic and Operatic modalities, Nyrobi (19yrs) and Chaya (16yrs) have spent the last 18mths crafting their unique sound through the release of ten singles before embarking on this, their debut EP project ‘Freak Show’.

Nothing appears to be off limits for these siblings as they use this EP to explore the battles faced by those who live unconventional lives through their highly unconventional approach to music.

Each song demands from the listener, a different level of understanding. The EP addresses fears, hopes and the remembrance of souls lost to the pressures of social conformity. It is also a defiant celebration of the here & now and urges us to accept and embrace the young Alternatives who are yet to rise.

about

ALT BLK ERA England, UK

These UK teen sisters break the rules by reaching outside of traditional expectations.

Their genre-bending music is filled with heavy basslines, electric guitars, and tongue-twisting rap, where their softer tracks compile of dark strings, haunting harmonies and a chilling, circus-type vibe.

They are the mavericks.

Inspiration for their work comes from: The Prodigy , Rico Nasty & Ashnikko
