Take It As a Man

It started with my grandpa
I was just a kid
And my parents didn't notice a thing
I guess I got real good at hiding

I don't even remember
All the details now
Except that night when I was 11
I said you're never getting close again

What does it have to take
Until somebody awakes
It's digging holes in my brain
Am I going insane

If nobody sees what's going on
I wonder did it even happen
If nobody sees when it goes wrong
I wonder did it even happen
Or do I gotta learn to take it as a man
Do I gotta learn to take it as a man

Uh uh, ye ye ye

And then it was my boyfriend
It's been more than one
He would hold me up all night
Until I cried and let him get a bite

And all the others out there
Who's been tryna get my body
Out of peer pressure or money
I can't even count it's way too many

What does it have to take
Until somebody awakes
It's digging holes in my brain
Am I going insane

If nobody sees what's going on
I wonder did it even happen
If nobody sees when it goes wrong
I wonder did it even happen
Or do I gotta learn to take it as a man
Do I gotta learn to take it as a man

Or do I gotta learn to take it as a man
Do I gotta learn to take it as a man
Do I gotta learn to take it as a man, oh
Cus I'm a woman
