You think it’s cool to hit women
back ‘em up against a door and start screamin' at ‘em
punch a hole in the wall, watch ‘em duck out the way
as the tears start streamin’ down their face,
hopin’ it would be a different day,
another life where she’d have a knife in her hand
shut you the fuck up and make her stand
cut your throat and watch you bleed
watch you fall down to your knees,
sittin' on the ground sayin’ baby please,
stop this right now can’t you see
all this stabbin’s hurtin’ me
baby please, I gave you all – that I had
look in my eyes and see I’m sad
I’m sorry baby I know I’ve been bad
can’t we just try, try to forgive
we’ve got this whole damn life to live
He’ll fall to the ground, drown in his blood
ruin her brand new homemade rug,
but she just won’t give a damn,
cuz today was the day she fucking made her stand
...but today’s not that day and tomorrow neither,
cuz today she’s a hoe and a lyin' cheater
and there’s nothing she can do to change his ways,
cuz today’s the day he decided to beat her
cuz you can’t forgive a fucking lyin' cheater
gotta put her in her place and it’s not in the kitchen
gotta fuckin' teach this fuckin' bitch a lesson
smack her in the face and watch her cry
she looks like she deserves to die
so pitiful pathetic on the ground,
she looks like a baby crawlin’ around
nowhere to go she’s stuck inside,
where you goin' bitch there’s nowhere to hide,
come back here and take your beatin',
you know you deserve it, cuz I know you been cheatin’
and while she’s down there on the floor,
she’ll think about goin’ to the corner store,
ask for a gallon of gasoline,
ask for the matches as she turns to leave,
burn all the rubber on her tires,
speedin’ home to set the house on fire!
…all her stuff, will burn with him
and she’ll have to start all over again,
but she just won’t give a damn,
cuz today was the day she fucking made her stand
...but today’s not that day and tomorrow neither,
cuz today she’s a hoe and a lyin' cheater
and there’s nothing she can do to change his ways,
cuz today’s the day he decided to beat her
cuz you can’t forgive a fuckin' lyin' cheater
you gotta beat - the lesson - into her,
cuz this fuckin bitch just won’t learn,
Why you gotta go and make me beat you,
you know I hate it, I really do,
I just gotta do what I gotta do
Where you goin' bitch, I got your shoes
Her hand slips off of the door,
as he drags her across the floor,
he keeps repeatin’ that she asked for more
cuz last week she was a little whore,
she doesn’t know what he’s talkin' about
she opens her lungs and she tries to shout
his hands on her throat no air will come out
and as she’s choking tryin’ to breathe
she’ll think about how great it be
to get the rope down off the shelf
and make him tie it around himself
take the noose around his neck
and hang him back off of the deck
and when the policeman finally came
she wouldn’t even have to try and explain
she wouldn’t even have to try and hide
cuz all her actions were justified
and even if - she went to jail
and there was no one - to post her bail,
she just wouldn’t give a damn,
cuz today was the day she fucking made her stand
...but today’s not that day and tomorrow neither,
cuz today she’s a hoe and a lyin’ cheater
and there’s nothing she can do to change his ways,
cuz today’s the day he decided to beat her
cuz you can’t forgive a fucking lyin’ cheater
cuz today’s the day he decided to beat her
cuz you can’t forgive a fuckin lyin’ cheater
But today’s the day she’s gonna make her stand
cuz some motherfucker’s need to understand
che-che
boom

In lieu of participating in the injustice challenge, as I would have had to have written a story, I am posting my spoken word piece on injustice that I wrote and performed in Madrid in 2012. This piece was very therapeutic for me and is available on my youtube channel from when I performed it at Triskel Tavern in Madrid, Spain in 2012.
