Rap Against Rape Lyrics: We’re now known as the land of rapes But did you ever wonder, how this took shape Don’t shy away now, you’re a part of this culture Of lawyers who will kill & politicians who ban our will & all the other Blood-sucking vultures We’re a land of ironies & of rampant misogyny Stop that tweet And actually get on your feet And help reform this mindset That for years has been preset That our women are nothing more than objects To be controlled, shut-up and used for sex No boy learn some respect But Its not just the men, its the women too That slaughter the girl child Growing in their womb Then ask the neighbor for a small little favor Kanya Puja hai-ji Deydo apni beti Phoolon se sajaaenge – Devi jaise banayenge Par apni ghar ki Lakshmi ko shaam ko rulayenge She menustrates and you call her dirty Yet don’t you love it when she gets flirty To date you want a bomb tota But to take home to mom – a plane jane lota You call me Chikni Chameli, baby-doll ya kudi namkeen But holding my boyfriends hand in public – is a no-no scene Chal chodho uska haat, ab karungi tere saat gandi baat But gandi is the case When a girl who’s been raped, has to hide her face And then that same society makes a porn star their celebrity To teach women obedience there’s domestic violence But no one will report it They’re meant to absorb it with silence On that crowded train today, are you sure – you didn’t see the man Who thought that under my tee-shirt he would rest his hand Didn’t it boil your blood enough for you to take a stand Or did you just let it be Because I was stupid enough to be akeli? If I walk alone at night – you say Im irresponsible and lame Yet when I’m seen with a man To my family I’ve brought shame Stop throwing bundles of money away at her wedding While the importance of her education, you’re conveniently forgetting Ladki ghar ki lakshmi hoti hai Ya phir baap ka bhojh Its High time a new soch we all khojh And hey – did you hear what that sick mo-fo had to say Man, I pity him more with every day I bet he shagged to sunny leone last night Cuz his libido just got too heady to fight Is it just me who finds this funny? That these are the men Who tell us to keep nudity at bay And yet a quick search shows, Sunny is the most googled celebrity today Are you beginning to see the hypocrisy In what we proudly call, the world’s largest democracy Instead of banning beef, swear words and a sexy undergarment Why don’t they grow some balls & ban criminals in parliament? Its time we refurbish our mental vicinity And find new definitions for honor, dignity, respect & masculinity. Mera bharat mahan, with a million gods worshipped And goddess even more with elan But not enough men saying Meri Beti Meri Shaan We’re not rappers – no We’re just a couple of girls tryin’ to open your eyes You need new heros to idolize And its time our society got more civilized We wont be spectators to your misconduct Our free will is not up for you to abduct So stop passing the buck – blaming this, blaming that, blaming them Its from our society that the problem stems So lets come together, Lets us unite be the torch bearers of a new light No we wont stay at home or be scared of the night We’ll continue to work because its our right Im short Im fat Im tall Im skinny I’ll wear what I want – even if its mini Its only a dress Don’t for a second think it’s a yes So to those lawyers & politicians who spew shit And the rapist who dick should be split Ill work at home or outside, tackling misogyny with pride Gone are the times we stayed abused and broken And behind closed doors we cried Its about time to change the tide and for you to get on our side Help us bring in a new day – for you, for me, for us Lets carve a new way
