What Has the World Taught Me
"NGENZENI NGENZENI" "AWWW BAKITHI UMNTANAMI"
"THERE IS NOTHING FOR MAHALA NANA AND YOU
KNOW WHAT TO PAY ME WITH" "MAMA MAMA VUKA"
Mmmmh that's the world nowadays
That's how cruel people in this world
Have become. Scary huh? Well It shouldn't
Be anymore, you know the only thing that
This world wants to do is to just pin us right
Down straight to the floor on wait there is more
You know there are about 80% of women who have
Not only been raped but killed and this hurts till
Right straight to my core.
Tell me what had the world taught me?
Did you know that nowadays no one helps
Anyone without anything In return?
Well all they want is young women's bodies
And money Is what they use so you can take the fall
Old married men use young innocent girls just
For those little beautiful curves
That's how it works!!
Tell me what has this world taught me?
Nowadays I cant walk on dressing freely else they will say that I'm just a freebie..tell me am I? Well that's what that guy I saw at the carwash said, I think that instead of wearing that tight skirt which showed all my curves he expected me to wear a long dress somehow I thought that I was a shame
Tell me again what has this world taught me?
Young women are killed almost everyday
Mothers are told to identify their kids bodies in every way because all that's left of it is just maybe only her beautiful hair, Scary? Well it is but I've gotten used to it
Gotten used to the fact that women are killed because of their body
Gotten used to the fact that women are raped because men want to feel satisfied then they make up a lie and say " she seduced me so I didnt have a choice" wow I mean do their lies to be justified?
Tell me what has this world taught me?
I have a little sister who is about 5 months and somehow I wish that she could just stay this young but then again I remember that in this world age doesn't matter as long as you are a woman/girl they will either rape, kill or kidnap you..
Tell me what has this world taught me?
