Take a Stand

WARNING: This spoken word piece has adult content (rated R for violence and excessive use of the glorious F word), because abuse just needs a rough mouth and a rough language for all it's dirty edges. 

TAKE A STAND:

You think it’s cool to hit women

back ‘em up against a door and start screamin’ at ’em

punch a hole in the wall, watch ’em duck out the way

as the tears start streamin’ down their face,

hopin’ it would be a different day,

another life where she’d have a knife in her hand

shut you the fuck up and make her stand

cut your throat and watch you bleed

watch you fall down to your knees,

sittin’ on the ground sayin’ baby please,

stop this right now can’t you see

all this stabbin’s hurtin’ me

baby please, I gave you all – that I had

look in my eyes and see I’m sad

I’m sorry baby I know I’ve been bad

can’t we just try, try to forgive

we’ve got this whole damn life to live

He’ll fall to the ground, drown in his blood

ruin her brand new homemade rug,

but she just won’t give a damn,

cuz today was the day she fucking made her stand

But today’s not that day and tomorrow neither,

cuz today she’s a hoe and a lyin’ cheater

and there’s nothing she can do to change his ways,

cuz today’s the day he decided to beat her

cuz you can’t forgive a fucking lyin’ cheater

gotta put her in her place and it’s not in the kitchen

gotta fuckin’ teach this fuckin’ bitch a lesson

smack her in the face and watch her cry

she looks like she deserves to die

so pitiful pathetic on the ground,

she looks like a baby crawlin’ around

nowhere to go she’s stuck inside,

where you goin’ bitch there’s nowhere to hide,

come back here and take your beatin’,

you know you deserve it, cuz I know you been cheatin’

and while she’s down there on the floor,

she’ll think about goin’ to the corner store,

ask for a gallon of gasoline,

ask for the matches as she turns to leave,

burn all the rubber on her tires,

speedin’ home to set the house on fire!

…all her stuff, will burn with him

and she’ll have to start all over again,

but she just won’t give a damn,

cuz today was the day she fuckin’ made her stand

But today’s not that day and tomorrow neither,

cuz today she’s a hoe and a lyin’ cheater

and there’s nothing she can do to change his ways,

cuz today’s the day he decided to beat her

cuz you can’t forgive a fuckin lyin’ cheater

you gotta beat - the lesson - into her,

cuz this fuckin’ bitch just won’t learn,

Why you gotta go and make me beat you,

you know I hate it, I really do,

I just gotta do what I gotta do

Where you goin’ bitch, I got your shoes

Her hand slips off - of the door,

as he drags her - across the floor,

he keeps repeatin’ that she asked for more

cuz last week she was a little whore,

she doesn’t know what he’s talkin’ about

she opens her lungs and she tries to shout

his hands on her throat no air will come out

and as she’s choking tryin’ to breathe

she’ll think about how great it’d be

to get the rope down off the shelf

and make him tie it around himself

take the noose around his neck

and hang him back off of the deck

and when the policeman finally came

she wouldn’t even have to try and explain

she wouldn’t even have to try and hide

cuz all her actions are justified

and even if she went to jail

and there was no one to post her bail,

she just wouldn’t give a damn,

cuz today was the day she fuckin’ made her stand

But today’s not that day and tomorrow neither,

cuz today she’s a hoe and a lyin’ cheater

and there’s nothing she can do to change his ways,

cuz today’s the day he decided to beat her

cuz you can’t forgive a fucking lyin’ cheater

cuz today’s the day he decided to beat her

cuz you can’t forgive a fuckin lyin’ cheater

but today’s the day she’s gonna make her stand

cuz some motherfucker’s need to understand

che-che

boom
