TRASH in the MASSES
I have to remind myself that not all men are trash
Because my father is a good man
I have to remind myself that not all men are trash
Because I have dated men who respect me
I have to remind myself that not all men are trash
Because you cannot paint everyone with the same colour
It's not that easy.
A lot of them make it so arousing to fall into that line of thinking
Some men do shit that makes my stomach queasy
They do things out of insecurity
Instability
Most times I will sit there and think, really?
Really?
REALLY?
Is this how you're gonna do me?
Is this how you're gonna do us?
You think about your next actions
Rationalize your bullshit
And it sounds just?
You work so hard to break our trust
And blame it on lust?
Blame it on me,
Blame it on him,
Blame it on the sky,
Blame it on sin,
Blame it on your family,
Say they didn't raise you well
Cause common sense doesn't come easily
And you could never tell
Walk around everyday
Knowing you cause hell
You tell me some people make it
And other people don't
You're just living your life, paving your own road
So it's unfortunate when others meet you during your strole
God forbid if we decide to make you a decision we once chose.
And after you hurt us
After you break the soul,
It just becomes another story someone once told.
You did it for the power
You did it for the greed
Convincing yourself that it's the only thing you ever did need,
Meditating on the music and the adverts that you see on TV
Passing on ancient beliefs
Grandpa told daddy so that's how I'm gonna be.
Wanting to relate some crazy shit on your Insta feed
Feeling like you deserve everyone and everything you ever did see.
'Cause being a man comes with entitlement
That makes you feel proud
So when you feel Itty bitty
Your emasculinity gets really loud
Screaming from the mountain tops
Down into an innocent crowd.
I'm tired, yes I am tired
I'm tired of the assholes and all the fucking liars.
Imagine if I was fired?
Holding onto all the the pain to make me feel higher,
Imagine if I was petty,
Imagine if I was a Savage,
Imagine if betraying people became a daily habit?
Imagine me angry
Walking down this lane
Trying to make everyone feel the very same
Betraying other women because we all have to make our own way
Damaging boys and men because they're all insane?
Can you see the picture?
Open your mind and really really see,
That I would be a monster and not a human being
Not all men are trash.
This is very true
But so many of them are.
So many leave a scar.
So many make it hard.
Sometimes I wish I was a monster
So I wouldn't feel so blue.
Because my father is a good man
I have to remind myself that not all men are trash
Because I have dated men who respect me
