Some would say I asked for it,
I was the one who went with him.

All I wanted was a **** glass of water.

Some would say it was bound to happen,
being Native American and all.

"You know one in three Native American women will experience ****** assault in their lifetime."

That's not something you say to someone like me.
Someone who's been there.
Someone who's been forced to stay.
Someone

just wanting some water after a night out.

Guess you can't trust the water that runs through these faucets.

Some would say I asked for,
I shouldn't have expected to just get a drink.

But you know

one in three Native American women experiences ****** assault in their lifetime.

I just happened to be the one.
