I love love love how you always call me grrrl
And that you've given me the chance to fuckin rock your world
and that you realize and understand
that to respect and treat me right's what makes you a real man
and that by listening to every concern that I voice
you'll know I never see you as an obligation but instead as a choice
because there's no pressure to not do as I fucking please
you won't think I'm a prude or just some fucking tease
and it's relieving that this is something that you really do believe
that a woman's body is her own and not just for your own release

I'm sick of being told that men are just like this or just like that
As though I've got to accept social perceptions as fucking facts
Every man is accountable for how he fucking acts
Don't play it off as your hormones or cuz I'm showing too much ass

I guess I kinda digressed here
but I really wanna stress here
It's not about how I dress dear
But whether I say yes here

Regardless if I said yes before
Or if you think that I'm a whore
Yes means yes and there's really nothing more
None of this no means no shit no more

I've found a real man who respects my body
Even on those nights where I'm fucking drunk and sloppy
So please girls don't let a bunch of nobodies
Convince you your body's public property

And men, come at me with all your "facts"
The kinda bullshit you prolly learned in class
As if those institutions don't facilitate
Male domination and female hate
The patriarchy is so discreetly capable
That it deals rape culture out under the table
Leaving the public incapable
of realizing it's all actually escapable

And it's sad that what I'm saying
Is a fucking revelation
That a plague so toxic's infection this whole nation
That to rape a woman's just male participation
That to rape a woman's just an expectation
That if she's saying no she just needs some persuasion
Cuz nobody wants to see it as a personal invasion
an attack that can't compare to any other violation
but no, she put herself in that situation
Cuz boys will be boys, as if that's a valid justification
or she's just a fucking liar with a bullshit imagination
or a fucking whore who loved that penetration

Cuz if you listen and believe her
then half your sons are sinners
and most of your daughers
are fucking victims

So you cover it up, sweep it under the rug
Believing your kids know respect's synonymous with love
Cuz if they don't then you really fucked up
Our generation's the result of how we were brought up.
