Communards es un dúo británico de synth-pop que se formó en 1985. La agrupación fue creada por Jimmy Somerville, exmiembro de Bronski Beat, y el talentoso pianista y compositor Richard Coles. La dupla decidió nombrar a la banda en honor a los communards de la Comuna de París de 1871, un movimiento revolucionario que buscaba la igualdad y la justicia social.
En la década de 1980, el ambiente político en el Reino Unido estaba marcado por el gobierno de Margaret Thatcher y el apogeo del movimiento LGBTQ+. Communards emergió en este contexto, defendiendo derechos e igualdad para la comunidad LGBTQ+ a través de su música y acciones publicas. Jimmy Somerville, abiertamente gay, usó su plataforma para luchar contra los prejuicios y la discriminación, y Richard Coles también fue un vocalista pro-LGBTQ+, contribuyendo así a ampliar la visibilidad y aceptación de la comunidad.
En 1986, Communards lanzó su álbum homónimo, que incluía el exitoso sencillo "Don't Leave Me This Way", una versión del clásico de Harold Melvin & the Blue Notes. El tema no solo alcanzó el número uno en las listas británicas, sino que también se convirtió en un himno dentro de las discotecas y en la comunidad LGBTQ+. Además de este hit, el álbum ofrecía otras canciones como "Disenchanted" y "You Are My World", reafirmando su presencia en la escena musical.

[Grand Agent]
My name is Grand Agent
Check check it out
I'm down wit Jim Slade, he's down wit Louis Logic
Jim Slade, Grand Agent, Louis Logic
[Chorus] 2x
Service the target
Where it hurt the most we hit the hardest
Point blank range aimin at them artist
Your game ain't up to par
It's time we turned lames into martyrs
[Grand Agent]
I got a thing for potent words like cocaine
Inside the flow game, they don't know how to show shame
Additional instrumentation ain't it, sane it
Strictly words and ventilation when I paint it
Famous as Footwear gear, plane as Goodyear
Black and well-rounded, sales plaques mounted
Invite your dialouge, demigods to the dome
Leave a classic example on the porch if I ain't home
Then BOOM, I bloom just like breasts in the pre-pubesce
Easy now, who you test?
MC who stress me, arrest me cardiac
Stat like 'where the party at, black?'
Now it's in your back
Then insert the knife like the earth so good
Inside his wife, drink my flow, it's a way of life
Victory, it be the standard for me
I'm on some "I'm better than the rest of y'all"
As far as Grand can see
Nuttin but smut, now you watchin me
Butt-fuck doctrines clockin me through factory systems
Did you actually listen?
Or am I gonna have to return like I ain't burn you up sufficient
Turn me up when I be bitchin, my style is decision
Something like a violent Christian with a molavision
Turn me up when I be bitchin, my style is decision
Something like a violent Christian with a molavision
Service the target
[Louis Logic]
I walk up in a strange person's department
With the purpose of startin
A fire that burns up your carpet and murders your market
Campaign strategist like a murderous arsonist
Whose brain passages resemble insane activists
It's gonna take alot of band-aids
And governmental mandates to save your fanbase
When Louis Logic slayed
And Grand Agent put the heat to the beat
MC's get so weak in the knees they need to retreat
This is warfare, combat, that switches sportswear
On contact, to your ears when we on tracks
The effect to this is stronger than the head that spins
In the Exorcist, or cigarettes and gin on a pregnant chick
Somebody's bound to die
My record company's out to hide something about this guy
They say "Logic's such a character, he'll probably just embarass ya"
That's why I'll never get the f*** wit Arista
Plus my manager thinks that I drink too much
I probably think too much, of morbid things and such
Like ringin sluts' necks, I'm a suspect to the crime scene
Retired green wit my team spillin vats of Visine
I got a dirty mouth, but I practice hygiene
What I mean by that is cats will catch a cursing-out
With the maximum curse amount in a verse allowed
I don't worry 'bout puttin fuc*** clean versions out
Chorus 2x
