Monsters

Life's without equality
I walk these streets with a privelege
No one bothers me
Like they do my sisters
Ain't no hollerin', no one callin' me
A cunt, hoe, or a bitch
It's a different existence
Around the world
They treating girls like they properties
Objects for they possession like apostrophes
From across the seas
To our backyards
It ain't just strangers
Even families raise monstrocities

True story
It's Friday night, we turning up, we turning up
It's me, my homie, home girl, and her coworker - drunk.
Now the homie got a chick and we kicking with the OG's
I'm hollering at the home girl, her coworker's into homie
So the homie eyeing me like, "Aye! You gotta save me"
So I interrupt like, "Yo, what up? Where's your lady?"
Now she's on me crazy so the homie slides out
And me sliding in her pants is all I'm thinking about
But first, I gotta pee
Said, "I'll be right back"
And then she follows me like, "Where you going?"
Shit, I might smash
Sure enough, we in the restroom getting touchy
I guide her to her knees, she proceeds to get to s
I pick her up some moments later
Place her on the toilet, return the favor
Told her, "Bring that ass around" She about to get this dick
What happens next, I can't explain but my partner went limp
Hold up
Something's wrong, I can feel it
I turn her back around and she ain't even coherent

Oh Shit! FUCK! I almost did it
Almost took away her human, turned her into a statistic
Completing the feet would've been a matter of inches
Was I always this MONSTER? Cause she was almost my victim
Damn
We a problem to our women
All this hyper masculinity and toxic conditions
Where we give in or we don't to the MONSTERS within us
I'm saying, it's not an instinct
It's a conscious decision
It's on us to do better or fail
We call it "women's issues" but the issue's ourselves
It's in our tone, it's how we talk
What we hold up in our thoughts
We joke at their expense
I'm asking, "Homie, what's the cost?"
This shit is too normal! It's too frequent
We've been told all our lives that they all want it, they all need it
That it's ours for the taking, we deserve it, we believed 'em
But If It Ain't "YES", It's "NO!", She Don't Owe You A Reason

I sound exhausted but imagine the women
This moment of inconvenience is their standard of living
Where one in three will experience sexual assault
By one in four men and you can bet it's our fault
And that's the naked truth
Let's start addressing the cause
It ain't how much she drank or how she dressing at all
So time's up
Put a X on the clock
It's 'cause of us that they need protection at all

She don't have to be your Sister, Mom, or Daughter
She a person, no person deserves to have to live with trauma

Life's without equality
I walk these streets with a privilege
No one bothers me
Like they do my sisters
Ain't no hollering, no one calling me
A Cunt, Hoe or a Bitch
It's a different existence
And it ain't isolated, more like isosceles
We hold it up within our cultures, our economies
From across the seas
To our backyards
It ain't just "Monsters"
Who are capable of atrocities

It ain't just Monsters
It ain't just Monsters
We all are MONSTERS
