## Lyrics

### Verse 1

Who are you?

Do you know who I am?

I literally just asked, so no.

Oh. Call me Huntress, the daughter who uncannily,

Survived the brutal massacre when mobsters killed my family,

So now I pay respects with every shot that connects,

Badass assassin, putting bolts through their necks!

A smoke show with a crossbow and I constantly embarrass,

These bozos who oppose this secret Bertinelli heiress!

Payback's my motive and my methods are viscious,

Cause these spaghetti-slurping slime balls bout to sleep with the fishes!

I murder mafioso mofos and I'm out for revenge!

See, that kind of moxie means we've gotta be friends!

I don't really have friends. Well, you do now, honey!

Ooh, let's go buy some drinks, bought with someone else's money!

*[Harley and Huntress go to a club owned by Roman Sionis, AKA Black Mask. Black Canary is performing there on stage.]*

### During Black Canary's Verse

Bartender! A couple shots! Put it on Roman's tab!

Make it three!

Dinah, how you been? Look what the cat dragged in,

I haven't seen you since the split, how you holding up, Quinn?

Fantabulous and fabulous, full steam ahead!

Then it's a cryin shame that my boss wants you dead.

What else is new? Well, without your ex's protection,

He'll peel that pretty face off for his private collection.

Oh, so now you belong to Mr. Roman Sionis?

That spoiled, rich dickhole only wishes he owned this!

Sassy songbird siren stuck here, sitting, waiting my turn,

Thinking someday soon I'll have to wise up, rise up, and burn

This whole crooked, wicked, criminal club to the ground,

I swear on my momma's grave I'm gonna clean up this town!

When this vocalist crescendos, you know that I end foes!

I'm the belting badass bombshell that can shatter glass windows!

I'm tough, but can't make enough change on my own.

I don't see why you should have to do it alone.

Sure, like you'd take my side if I decided to quit.

Yep, and my mobster-killing friend here is fucking legit!

You know, you're the first Soprano I haven't wanted to whack!

I could stand to have a gal like you watching my back!

I swear to Zod, we're three peas in a pod!

A girl gang in Gotham? Can we please form a squad?

Alright, Quinn, I'm in. Sweet, what's the plan?

We send them a message, then stick it to the man!

Oh, you mean Roman? Uh-huh! You got dirt on that jerk?

Years of it. Perfect! This might actually work.

He'll be here soon, there's no time to waste,

Having friends is fun! Let's cut to the chase!

### Verse 2

*[Roman enters the club and orders a drink which Dinah gives to him, only for it to be drugged and have him black out. He wakes up with his hands bound and duct tape on his mouth, seeing the Birds of Prey before him.]*

Wake up, Roman! Good morning!

Pay attention, dipshit, this is your only warning!

Oh, why's he look so grumpy? He'd look prettier if he smiled!

Possible personality disorder from being dropped as a child!

If you want him dead, I'll make it look like a hit!

Hell, I'd smoke this schmuck myself, but I've been trying to quit.

No, this'll be a blast! We don't have to hold back,

Just a one-sided battle rap, emancipation diss track!

What an original gangster! Big fan, gotta ask:

Are you the first dude in Gotham to hide behind a Black Mask?

Consider this my resignation, I'm done working for freaks,

You don't get two weeks, y'all can kiss both cheeks!

And put a leash on Zsasz, that little scarred up spaz!

That sycophant sadist is really all that he has!

You're a self-obsessed narcissist, a thin-skinned goon,

Who went bankrupt while choking on daddy's silver spoon!

Here's the message, Sionis, let us be perfectly clear:

Stay out of our way, or you might disappear!

I'm Harley Frickin' Quinn! With a brand new crew!

Leavin clowns in the dust and the joke's on you!

I'm crazier and fearless, and I goddamn guarantee,

All of Gotham's scared of you when they should be scared of me!
