4n the Human - Time to Change

A lot of things that I buried away
I choose to keep it out my brain
Cuz it's scary to face
But as of late I've been eager to change
The days ahead of me can be the remedy
For memories that give me shame
If I
Cannot change the past
The future I must impact
Tell everyone in my pack
And force them to make a pact
To hold each other accountable
For how we've grown to act
Time to take a stand against
What we claiming to know is bad
And I'm not trynna give you shame
I'm just trynna shift the blame
Time to set the record straight
It ain't her fault that she was raped
No matter how she dressed that day
Nor where she was or if it's late
Women still deserve the right of being safe
And fuck the justification
Of where his mental state is
No reason to complicate it
That man's a rapist
And a common product
Of this problematic nation
We as men are all responsible
Its time for us to change it
Tell my daughters
They can go out if they want to
And teach my son
Some fucking boundaries, what I'm gone do
Tell my daughters
They can go out if they want to
And teach my son some fucking boundaries
Yeah
Tell my daughters
They can go out if they want to
And teach my son
Some fucking boundaries, what I'm gone do
Tell my daughters
They can go out if they want to
And teach my son some fucking boundaries
Yeah
This is for my sisters and my mother
This is so my nieces and daughters
Don't ever have to bother
With the same shit that they did
On top of shaming rapists
We gotta blame society they're raised in and change it
We gotta educate the youth the concepts of consent
When little girls get assaulted
They don't know what it meant
So they keep that shit inside
Till the day they realize
What was taken from them
By the family friendly pedophile
If women were to speak up
You would see that this is wild
But women rarely speak up
Cuz they fear they'll be defiled
To all the girls that testified
You're making Egypt proud
Tell your story say it loud
Now one last thing
If you think it ain't all men
I think you're in denial
You won't even trust your closest friend
To take your sister out
That's some shit you have to sit and really think about
Its time for us to figure out a different route
Tell my daughters
They can go out if they want to
And teach my son
Some fucking boundaries, what I'm gone do
Tell my daughters
They can go out if they want to
And teach my son some fucking boundaries
Yeah
Tell my daughters
They can go out if they want to
And teach my son
Some fucking boundaries, what I'm gone do
Tell my daughters
They can go out if they want to
And teach my son some fucking boundaries
Yeah
