Call me chicken, call me cow

Call me chicken, call me cow
Call me monkey, make me lick my paw
Call me harlot, call me tramp
Call me anything like I have a stamp

Make me regret that I was born
Make me crush my dreams, feel torn
Make me kill my hopes and wishes
Make me call all my dear friends "bitches"

Do me like I am a dog
Do me every time you want
Do me no favour, not until
"Do you want me to pay all your bills?"

I won't ask you anything
Not a diamond or a ring
Don't give me all your seed
As if it is a mighty deed

All I ask is that you stop
Don't go on, please, just stop 
I'm not a thing, but a human being
Raping is not really your thing

Don't rape me like I did some wrong
I wasn't born guilty nor very strong
All I am is what I became
By setting a million goals and aims

Don't rape me just because you can
It's not a justification for any man
Don't rape me, please I beg
I cry, and cry and dread

Rape is all around me now
In my screams and face and house
It's a thing I cannot shake
From these dreams I cannot wake

Dreams of rape is all I see
Being a victim is all I can be
I know I am not just that, I know
Is there a way out that you know?

But I wasn't raped today
What a silly thing to say
Today was a wonderful day
Make it so for all women, I pray
