Do you know what it is like to run? Do you know what it is
|
like to live in fear? Because she knows what it's like to run.
|
Because she knows what it's like to live in fear. Rape ritual.
|
How can I stand in silence while you are raping my sister?
|
Ritual! Throw it in the wind because I ain't with that. Say,
|
what have we done with mother, sister, daughter, lover? Beat
|
them down to submission, into that corner of constant fear.
|
Humanity reduced to a sexual commodity, objectification,
|
pretty faces. Molded imagery damn they drop the dirty mack
|
demands. She's more than booty to me; bypass her sexuality.
|
Tradition, your sexism is what you want me to learn. Surrender
|
gender hatred, fade it to kill it, compassion returns. 1 out
|
of 3, and they say my sisters are free, incarcerated by hat-
|
red. Propagated by sodomny, continual ritual victimizing my
|
sister. Physical rape is psychological murder. Ritual! Jenny!
|
Ho! Slut! Trick! Bitch! Buddy! Terms that burn in our popular
|
brutality. That media camera's at you, trying to show you
|
what's up. Illusion magazine fantasy got you feinding to bust
|
a nut. Body identity suffocates in her nudity - she's dying
|
inside. Fashions asking won't let her be. Strip her to flesh
|
for apathetic male ego. You bet the set ain't down with your
|
wak. Rape ritual! We got to meet this hate with love. We got
|
to meet this hatred with love. Why do we fall for it, fuel it,
|
sexual violence equality? Please. So-called alternative move-
|
ment statistics never confess her wounded aloneness , internal
|
inferno, locked away calm diminishment. Sharon Stone, you
|
ain't all that. Madonna, you ain't all that. Sell you shallow
|
shock value charade is wak. Sister, put a fist in what's
|
expected of you. Deny! Defy! False definition of you too;
|
there's no excuse for this brutality or this lack of humanity.
|
rape ritual. I say I throw you into the wind. I say your
|
traditions mean nothing to me.
