Sacrificed upon the fire
consumed by man's mortal fire
such has been the woman's fate
dissent and burn at the stake

Today in Africa female circumcision
is brutally imposed to enforce submission
Crippling brutal mutilation to enforce male domination
barbaric clitorectomy to enforce patriarchy

Indian women burned alive
Their husbands they cannot survive
Women treated like property
Sold and murdered for their dowry

I know I'm supposed to understand cultural differences
but there's no way to justify these barbaric practices

Foreign culture easy to indict
Does not the same terror rule our streets each nig
