It features Maya rapping aggressively against a desolate wasteland , erratically interspersed with scenes of her performing live in an underground nightclub, entirely filmed in an arty, guerrilla style.

Lyrics

They're comin through the window
They're comin through the door
They're bustin down the big wall
And sounding the horn
What you want 
The bucky done gun
What you want
The fire done burn
Get crackin, get get crackin
Time to spit new shit
I'm rocking on this new bit
I'm hot now you'll see
I'll fight you just to get peace
Heavy weight wrestler
Fight me in your comforter
Let you be superior
I'm filthy with the fury ya
I'll hard drive your bit
I'm battered by your sumo grip
Lucky I like feeling shit 
My stamina can take it
Gymnastics super fit
Muscles on the gun clip
Bite, teeth, nose bleed
Tied up in the scarf piece
Can I get control
Do you like me vulnerable
I'm armed and I'm equal
More fun for the people
Physical, brute force
Steel, iron, you're the boss
Yeah, you're so do-able
Grind me down sugar salt
