BARZ! - Rugs

Mommy lookin' for love but she probably shouldn't because
She can't make up enough excuses for the all pushes and shoves
When her body couldn't recover quick
That's when the neighbors noticed
But they won't call the cops when her boyfriend is breakin' sofas
A couple restraining orders, a couple new men involved
She don't fuck with the same disorderly clucks that use methanol
Finally met somebody that's opposite, she was on him quick
Someone that made her heart just skip
Someone to raise her daughter with
Someone to play a father, and someone to make a partnership
Probably the only man that she been together the longest with
Every time they had sex, she'd pass out, when she would lose consciousness
He'd sneak inside the kid's room and wake her up, she would toss and kick
Take her into the closet, strip naked, and pinned her arms against
The ground, don't make a sound, then he'd rape her till blood was on his dick
Threatened to kill her, if you try tellin', you'll pay the consequence
Prayin' one day, her mom would eventually just catch on to this

All of this pain, you hide it inside
When you have no voice, they silence your cries
I don't want to say my final goodbyes to you
But don't bring this, sweep this under the rug
The Rug
The Rug
The Rug
Just sweep this under the rug

Mommy still with the same man molesting her daughter daily
They look like the perfect couple, she look at her daughter crazy like
You always get so mad when I bring up who your new daddy is
You just being a brat, you just wanna mess up my happiness
This is just a phase, she'll grow out of it, I just know she's fine
The saddest part is that shit started up when she was only 9
Fast forward 7 years later, she ran away from home
Sick of being ignored, plus she scared to speak up and make it known
Sick of the abuse she enduring, so she feel safe alone
Stayin' with random friends, always leavin' to find a place to roam
She ain't been to school in a month, her mom is worried sick
But her boyfriend keep reassuring her, she'll return, he gets
Anxious thinkin' she might tell police, so he gets an attorney quick
Hires the biggest scumbag in court, they call him the dirtiest
Two weeks later, she got picked up by a sheriff comin' by
Just to come back to the place that made her wanna curl up and die

All of this pain, you hide it inside
When you have no voice, they silence your cries
I don't want to say my final goodbyes to you
But don't bring this, sweep this under the rug
The Rug
The Rug
The Rug
Just sweep this under the rug

Mommy don't trust her daughter now, even more than this time
You can see the pain in her eyes, but she keep ignorin' the signs
It's taken months just to gain her trust, peep in her door and find
The boyfriend back to normal, so she don't think to report the crime
Now the boys her own age been tryin' to date, she turn 'em down
Cause she doesn't feel like she worthy, she feel like scum around
Anybody that shows some kind of interest, she ends it
Like what's the use in friendship if they can't provide an exit
From this hell she livin' in, one day, her mom had woke up to cryin'
Bursted in her daughter's room, after her man was done denyin'
Anything happened, he started snappin' and becomin' violent
She called 911, they arrested him, he went cuffed and quiet
Mama couldn't afford a lawyer in court she undecided
Not enough evidence to proceed, that's when the judge denied it
Her daughter was devastated, lost in the madness
The next day, she jumped off McKinley Bridge into oncoming traffic
I'm saying, you say you care, and supposedly it counts
But if this shit applies to you, please just know I'm reachin' out
And I don't just need the clout, I just hopefully can vouch
That you won't be another girl in some post we read about and forget

All of this pain, you hide it inside
When you have no voice, they silence your cries
I don't want to say my final goodbyes to you
But don't bring this, sweep this under the rug
The Rug
The Rug
The Rug
Just sweep this under the rug

I don't know what you been through
But just know that I'm listening
And I won't say a word
I don't know what you been through
But just know that I'm listening
And I won't say a word
I won't say a
