Let’s Get CripCentric
By Sarah Triano

In this context, you say there's no disrespect, but when you bust your rhyme, the ableism goes unchecked.
We got five minutes for us to reject, all the disrespect, correct your adverse effect.
Labels are insufficient, medical definitions, a bunch of bullshit comin’ from some clinician.
Coz when we shout out, then there’s really no doubt, what it’s really about, there’s fear throughout.
Scream it till it's screamed out. Dream it till it's dreamed out. Retarded is a word we could do without.

[Chorus:]
Everybody, everybody, let's get into it.
Get included.
Get it started, get it started, get it started.
Let's get it started (ha), a revolution in here. Let's get it started (ha), cripcentric culture in here.
Let's get it started (ha), a revolution in here. Let's get it started (ha), cripcentric culture in here.
Yeah.

It’s no big deal, you seem to feel
It’s just a word, are you for real?
If you knew our history and our past
You’d shut your trap, cut the crap, get schooled real fast.
Retarded is a word that many have used
To segregate, discriminate, lock up and abuse.
39 percent, stuck in institutions.
Bling, bling, bling go the contributions.
Watch your back, AB, it’s a revolution.
We’re out to free our people and that's how we movin'.

[Chorus:]
Everybody, everybody, let's get into it.
Get stupid.
Get it started, get it started, get it started.
Let's get it started (ha), a revolution culture in here. Let's get it started (ha), label jars not people in here.
Let's get it started (ha), cripcentric culture in here. Let's get it started (ha), we’re people first in here.
Yeah.

Runnin' runnin', and runnin' runnin', and runnin' runnin', and runnin runnin' and...

C'mon y'all, lets get woohoo!
Lets get woohoo! (in here)
Lets get woohoo!
Lets get woohoo! (in here)
Lets get woohoo!
Lets get woohoo! (in here) Ow, ow, ow!
Ya, ya, ya, ya, ya, ya, ya, ya, ya, ya, ya, ya, ya, ya, ya, ya...

Now you’re versed, we’re people first.
The medical model, must be reversed. (Just)
Label jars not people then you’ll understand,
Why Britney/Lindsay pottie-mouths must be banned.
Disability is a beautiful and natural part,
Of diversity that inspires our art.
We’ve got this movement, in case you haven’t heard.
We’re a loud proud crowd, not defined by a word. (So)
Let’s continue the fight against injustice, stay unified in pride and no one can touch us.

[Chorus:]
Everybody, everybody, let's get into it.
Get stupid. (Come on)
Get it started (come one) , get it started (yeah), get it started.
Let's get it started (ha), pride in ourselves in here. Let's get it started (ha), unified in pride in here.
Let's get it started (ha), a revolution in here. Let's get it started (ha), we’re disabled and proud
(woah, woah, woah) in here.
Yeah.

Lets get woohoo!
Lets get woohoo! (in here)
Lets get woohoo!
Lets get woohoo! (in here)
Lets get woohoo!
Lets get woohoo! (in here) Ow, ow, ow!
Ya, ya, ya, ya, ya, ya, ya, ya, ya, ya, ya, ya, ya, ya, ya, ya...

Runnin' runnin', and runnin' runnin', and runnin' runnin', and runnin' runnin'
