He said:
"To get into my kingdom, you must lose everything
Come with me and I will show you (loss of) dignity
And it only has to cost you pride, bow to me"
He spoke with hollow confidence dripping from his tongue
He held tradition in one hand; your safety in the other one
He has built an empire on his veiled intimidation
Put him in his place
Cat-caller with a tarnished name
It is time to call out rapists and let their names burn
In the fires they started
How did we get to a place where we knew what was happening,
Still looked away
Our history has favored men, but when did that become
A pass to defend our actions
When you share your story,
It is just the guilty ones that are the unbelievers
You are at the forefront of ending
An oppressive culture that pardons abusers
I hope for futures where our daughters can walk the streets alone
I hope we learn to kill the evil that is living in our homes
I just hope you're safe right now, simply thriving on your own
He said
"To get out of my prison, you have to speak my name"
The only way his name will live on is a stone above his grave
Your end will be one of solace, unlike his end in filth and shame
He said "I love you but there is a condition"
He only loves you when he thinks you're "his woman"
He said "I love you but there is a condition"
You said "it's time somebody stands up and ends it"
He said "I love you but there is a condition"
His legacy is caving in
Tear down his confidence
