It’s Pouring Men
1 By the laws of society
2 The guys’ll all keep eyeing me
3 Walking down the street
4 Like I’m some kinda piece of meat
5 Just because us women
6 Got a world you wanna live in
7 Not obligated to give in-
8 To the temptations and sinning
9 Ya macho-ness is extra, getting outta control
10 Ego is so toxic, I’m not liking how you roll
11 You brag about ya muscles
12 Always talkin bout “the hustle”
13 Ladies do not let them try to fool ya’
14 Into screaming “hallelujah”
15 With that “oohh it’s raining men”
16 It does not excite me so do not expect a grin
17 Men aren’t a pleasure to my senses
18 Let me give you a quick lesson
19 About what the matter is
20 It's about the he/him/his
21 They’re fragile to the touch
22 Manliness is temporary
23 Inside they’re pretty soft
24 Not at all big, mean, or scary
25 Only thing that’s a threat
26 Is their masculine power
27 Like OJ Simpson and Bill Clinton
28 From whom women were devoured
29 I’m representing for the women(queers) all across the world
30 To shed light on the men: let me tell it to you girl
31 Gonna take my time talking on the beat
32 And I can because I’m a lady boy don’t rush(touch) me
33 Alright now let me introduce to you
34 A topic kinda dense:
35 LGBTQs
36 And this dumb Gay Panic Defense
37 Can’t believe this is a thing
38 I am ashamed to be hearing
39 About the chaos that’s been caused
40 From toxic masculinity
41 Scott Amedure was murdered
42 By his friend Jonathan Schmitz
43 And you wanna tell me his lame excuse
44 Was this Gay Panic Defense?
45 The reason why the fellas freak
46 Is cause of their sensitivity
47 Towards what they don’t understand
48 Makes them feel less of a man
49 To think that they could start to stray
50 From being straight to being gay
51 Makes them turn against their bud
52 And in some cases shed their blood
53 Or maybe it’s because they trynna act hard
54 News Flash baby, gang violence isn’t smart
55 And you don’t get to get physical
56 Just because she broke your heart
57 She emotionally broke you
58 And in return you give her scars
59 Nah
60 See a woman brought you into this world
61 And in return you turn against all the gays and the girls
62 I'm representing for the women(queers) all across the world
63 To shed light on the men: let me tell it to you girl
64 Gonna take my time talking on the beat
65 And I can because I’m a lady boy don’t rush(touch) me
