Victim

lyrics

VICTIM

1 out of every 3 women
Will be a victim of sexual assault during her lifetime
In the United States it is estimated that a rape occurs
Every 1.3 seconds
75% of rape victims know their attacker
And 71% of rapes are planned beforehand

So with a 187 and it's on...
Cause I ain't your fucking victim

The fear of rape
Is the fear of an empty space
A gun
A can of mace can't replace
Being scared
In a city of violence
Season of silence
You can't deny this
Felony, punishable by prison
But that's a joke
Cause most offenders get off
So yo, you better know
This ain't a love song
Ain't a love song
No means no
Another murder it's on

But I'm no victim
Fuck what you heard
I ain't your victim
Yo...kick the word

It's rape 101
Class in session
Time for a lesson
Fool stop guessin'
Stressin' the tension
That's felt by women
And did I mention
I'm a mad bitch
And my mama raised a bad bitch
Doing nothin' but dirt
While other girls wear skirts
Yo, I'll be hittin' punks wear it hurts
In the back of their necks
I got a nickle plated flex "g"
And a right to dress sexy
When and where I want
Without being harassed for it
Or being told that I asked for it
This ain't a love song
Ain't a love song
No means no
Another murder its on

But I'm no victim
I'm talkin' to you clown
I ain't your victim
Check the breakdown

Maybe it's because most rapes
Are committed by someone
The victim knows
So she may think it doesn't count
Only no one has the right
To force you into sex against your will
So if this has happened to you
You'd better report it
Because after all the strides
That woman have made
We can't afford to lose our voice
Can't afford to be a victim

I ain't your victim
Choose to refuse to be a victim
This ain't no invitation
What part of NO
Don't you fucking understand
Asshole
