'They say women are supposed to be kept low
But isn't it them who talk about us
They say they control when we come and go
Until it's our name that comes out of their mouth like a cuss'
'They tell us to keep quiet
And so we do, yet we get the pain
They blame us when we start a riot
and then watch us fall like rain'
"Just because we're women
doesn't mean we're not human
Yet we're silently abused again and again
They'll stare as we walk past the crewman'
'Or perhaps you forgot
that you had a mother, sister, or daughter
and treat us asif we're something to be bought
Then dispose of us like we're waste water.
'Tell us to stay low, but what about those who are the reason for a daughter's death?
won't listen to us when we said 'No'
watched as she drew her last breath.'
'Tell us to keep quiet
to rely on the strong ones
Waiting for my knight
until I saw your sons'

why do you hate the women who gave birth to you?
Why do you hate the women who is with you?
Why do you hate the women who laughed with you?
Why do you hate women??
