Claim Your Rights

She claimed her rights as a young lady And in the coming years a woman She don’t want to be an endangered species hunted by violence daily She got rights too…she’s a human Stand against this bliss Gender Base Violence a sure diss No more verbal abuse, emotional abuse or physical abuse It’s your rights to reject abuse, so claim it, good news You can only be his victim Only if you allow yourselves to be used by him You’re no longer going to be told…shut up! You’re worthless, or what you say is meaningless…Just stop! Or you’re stupid or call you names to graphic to repeat After that, he says he loves you you’re so sweet Well, decide today…that behavior is unacceptable The truth comes before the love…Whether Sharon, Susan or Mable Cause if he truly love you He won’t want to abuse you Are my words credible, Gender Base Violence become a label Let’s take action and fight with all our might “Claim your Rights” ©Copyright November 28, 2011 by Brian Pierre-Alexander © All Rights Reserved
