No justice, no peace, only violence

I’m a survivor and I won’t be silenced


I was raped

Are you sure of what you say?

Can you tell me what you were wearing that day?

I was raped

It happens all the time

It could’ve been worse, suck it up you’ll be fine

I said I was raped

Well did you lead him on?

Maybe the impression that you gave him was wrong

But I was raped

Why‘d you walk alone?

Trusted a stranger, it’s your fault you should have known


Church don’t take it seriously

Family don’t take it seriously

Cops don’t take it seriously

I pray God gon take it seriously

School don’t take it seriously

Friends don’t take it seriously

Why isn’t rape taken seriously?

I pray God gon take this seriously

Seriously, oh seriously

Seriously, are you kidding me

Seriously, oh seriously

Seriously, ly, ly


I was raped

It was a silly mistake

There’s no need to make it a court case

I was raped

Why speak up now?

It happened long ago, guess you like attention wow

I said I was raped

Well tell me was he black?

Let it go the system’s wack, and this will set him back

But I was raped

Tell me was he white?

He’ll just get a slap on the wrist and no jail time


Church don’t take it seriously

Family don’t take it seriously

Cops don’t take it seriously

I pray God gon take it seriously

School don’t take it seriously

Friends don’t take it seriously

Why isn’t rape taken seriously?

I pray God gon take this seriously

Seriously, oh seriously

Seriously, are you kidding me

Seriously, oh seriously

Seriously, ly, ly


I was raped

We must do more than pray

Cuz our sisters are raped and murdered every single day
