Kick Some Ass
Stroke 9 Lyrics

How many people want to kick some ass (I do I do) And how many people are sick of holding it back (I am) well I am too So don't lay another finger on her She's mine and I still want her You can put your hands up on her, You're a goner a goner And how many people are sick of holding it back (I am I am) And how many people want to kick some ass? I would if I could but I'm really just a sensitive artist But portrayed like I am the hardest
