Let it be known
This fight isn’t over
And you will read my words
You will hear my voice
You will remember my name
After all, I’ve never been good at playing games
Have you no mercy?
On the ones who are victims of sex trafficking.
Have you no mercy?
On the little girls who are victims of rape?
Have you no mercy.
On the ones who could likely die due to abnormal pregnancies.
Have you no mercy?
On the mothers who will birth a still born.
Let it be known
This fight isn’t over
And you will read my words
You will hear my voice
You will remember my name
After all, I’ve never been good at playing games
How about a little devils advocate?
You are pro life until it’s you that’s affected.
You are pro life until it’s your sister that’s physically disrespected.
You are pro life until it’s your daughter that fucks a black man.
And then you find out your grandchild may come out looking a little tan.
Oh! Did I hit a nerve?
Well then I guess I have your attention.
Because no I’m not done.
There’s a lot more I need to mention.
Let it be known
This fight isn’t over
And you will read my words
You will hear my voice
You will remember my name
After all, I’ve never been good at playing games
It’s the hypocrisy for me!
You can choose to not be vaccinated.
But you will take away the right of woman and force her to become incarcerated.
You can choose to have a vasectomy
But it’s expected of me to discuss my choice with you of having a hysterectomy
Let it be known
This fight isn’t over
And you will read my words
You will hear my voice
You will remember my name
After all, I’ve never been good at playing games
Welcome to America
Where guns have more of right than a woman’s body
Welcome to America
Where she will raise her child to fight for her life or play dead by covering herself with her classmate’s dead and bloody body
Welcome to America
Where she will have no resources to feed her baby
Welcome to America
Where the shortage in formula is less of a priority because taking away my right was granted seniority
If you think you’ve won this cause then you got it all wrong
If you think women were loud before
Then you have no idea what you’re about endure from our ruthless roars
If you think this fight is over then you’ve already lost
Because every fight and war comes with a cost
This isn’t about telling us what to do
This isn’t about telling us what we can’t do
This is about taking away our right as American women
This about putting us in a place where we are treated as mules and treated like property
And that’s the shit we won’t tolerate
That’s the shit we will not let go
That’s the shit that will start a war
That’s the shit giving us fuel to fight and not ignore
This fight isn’t over
Our fight isn’t over
Celebrate today…but gear up tomorrow
I said it once and I’ll say it again
Let it be known
This fight isn’t over
And you will read my words
You will hear my voice
You will remember my name
After all…
I have never liked playing games
