Two women rap against rape. It has gone viral

Rap Against Rape lyrics:

We’re now known as the land of rapes

But did you ever wonder, how this took shape

Don’t shy away now, you’re a part of this culture

Of lawyers who will kill

& politicians who ban our will

& all the other Blood-sucking vultures

We’re a land of ironies

& of rampant misogyny

Stop that tweet

And actually get on your feet

And help reform this mindset

That for years has been preset

That our women are nothing more than objects

To be controlled, shut-up and used for sex

No boy learn some respect

But Its not just the men, its the women too

That slaughter the girl child

Growing in their womb

Then ask the neighbor for a small little favor

Kanya Puja hai-ji

Deydo apni beti

Phoolon se sajaaenge – Devi jaise banayenge

Par apni ghar ki Lakshmi ko shaam ko rulayenge

She menustrates and you call her dirty

Yet don’t you love it when she gets flirty

To date you want a bomb tota

But to take home to mom – a plane jane lota

You call me Chikni Chameli, baby-doll ya kudi namkeen

But holding my boyfriends hand in public – is a no-no scene

Chal chodho uska haat, ab karungi tere saat gandi baat

But gandi is the case

When a girl who’s been raped, has to hide her face

And then that same society

makes a porn star their celebrity

To teach women obedience there’s domestic violence

But no one will report it

They’re meant to absorb it with silence

On that crowded train today, are you sure – you didn’t see the man

Who thought that under my tee-shirt he would rest his hand

Didn’t it boil your blood enough for you to take a stand

Or did you just let it be

Because I was stupid enough to be akeli?

If I walk alone at night – you say Im irresponsible and lame

Yet when I’m seen with a man

To my family I’ve brought shame

Stop throwing bundles of money away at her wedding

While the importance of her education, you’re conveniently forgetting

Ladki ghar ki lakshmi hoti hai

Ya phir baap ka bhojh

Its High time a new soch we all khojh

And hey – did you hear what that sick mo-fo had to say

Man, I pity him more with every day

I bet he shagged to sunny leone last night

Cuz his libido just got too heady to fight

Is it just me who finds this funny?

That these are the men

Who tell us to keep nudity at bay

And yet a quick search shows,

Sunny

is the most googled celebrity today

Are you beginning to see the hypocrisy

In what we proudly call,

the world’s largest democracy

Instead of banning beef, swear words and a sexy undergarment

Why don’t they grow some balls & ban criminals in parliament?

Its time we refurbish our mental vicinity

And find new definitions for honor, dignity, respect & masculinity.

Mera bharat mahan, with a million gods worshipped

And goddess even more with elan

But not enough men saying Meri Beti Meri Shaan

We’re not rappers – no

We’re just a couple of girls tryin’ to open your eyes

You need new heros to idolize

And its time our society got more civilized

We wont be spectators to your misconduct

Our free will is not up for you to abduct

So stop passing the buck – blaming this, blaming that, blaming them

Its from our society that the problem stems

So lets come together, Lets us unite

be the torch bearers of a new light

No we wont stay at home or be scared of the night

We’ll continue to work because its our right

Im short Im fat Im tall Im skinny

I’ll wear what I want – even if its mini

Its only a dress

Don’t for a second think it’s a yes

So to those lawyers & politicians who spew shit

And the rapist who dick should be split

Ill work at home or outside, tackling misogyny with pride

Gone are the times we stayed abused and broken

And behind closed doors we cried

Its about time to change the tide and for you to get on our side

Help us bring in a new day – for you, for me, for us

Lets carve a new way
