They wanna say all the men
Who like ladies n love ‘em
even a lil too much now be rapists
For not providing all the things women
Wanted back then besides what a man
Considered was a good lay
Today it’s Chris Noth
Tomorrow it’s you or it’s your dad
Today it’s Mr Big
Tomorrow it’s any Mr
Because these attacks aren’t just about rape
They’re an attempt to create a narrative
About all men
I spent some time in Chris Noth’s
Cutting Room and when I thought about it
I did recall a very lusty Noth whispering
In the ears of this woman or that
But never did I see him follow a woman
Who declined interest because dude had
Honey after honey already in line
But you know these days
The sex shaming is only for men
And the women who felt they deserved
Something more and absolutely if
Drunk Chris Noth wasn’t listening
That’s harm and abuse but what
Happened to people making mistakes
And getting a chance to be forgiven
Nah, we just here to eliminate?
I had a very famous one mistreat me
Lie to my face while making me feel
So very uncomfortable
Cause I would have broke their marriage vows
Since they obviously didn’t care
But to do so would make me a bad one
To some kids somewhere so I didn’t
And got dropped like a hot potato
But the famous one
Blocked me on social media
Their friends tracking me to see if
I might come out with some photos
Maybe even some videos
Cause me I’m not the type
To take it laying down
(unless you make it enjoyable)
But when you tangle with celebrity It tangles you make you think You know something
but really you’re being used
And just like that, it’s over and done
But hey Chris Noth, I’ve been a Big fan
And seen you always with my own eyes
As a perfect gentleman never ever putting hands
Unwanted On the woman who loved BIG
To the point that Cutting Room was considered one of the hangouts women musicians could play and not have to be assaulted in the big city
So Imma Call BS on all allegations all the time
On every man that ever was fine and ask again:
Why would any of you think your memory is perfect?
In comparison to me, you are like a grain of sand
A sigh from me and a link will undo you
For you rely on each other for memory
If this woman was hurt, it’s like you too, or me too!
If that woman, was abused, it’s your memory too
Until all the guys who ever were, aren’t really who
They were to you, they’ve become something different and terrible and what’s this?
No, surely these allegations aren’t all a production
Of group trauma think
Meanwhile when I was multiraped? They held me down and took 4 turns, with a sock stuffed in my mouth so my screams could not be heard.
I kinda take offense to the use of rape allegations
When they aren’t proven beyond anything beyond memory, a most unusual tool for people who remember only a few details of every year unlike me who has every day, minute, and year
Countless folks go unbelieved so yeah
I think it's suspect when they only and
always believe the hot white chicks
I think we should rethink
Believing everyone who says they are a victim
Otherwise you might miss how often men
Are becoming a target for women and queer men, who often have their own stories of assault that I personally think they confuse with new tales.
I knew a dad many years ago who was falsely
Accused of sexual child abuse
One of the best dads I have ever known
He didn’t do it and everyone knows it now
But then the allegation was all it took
And the allegations were always on back in the 80’s
I can’t take back not standing stronger then
But today? In 2021, I’m here to say:
Not every man accused is the one who did it
Accusing every man will lead us nowhere good
Particularly when so many women and LGBT people are getting away with wholesale assault
Today it’s Chris Noth
Tomorrow it’s you or it’s your dad
Today it’s Mr Big
Tomorrow it’s any Mr
Because these attacks aren’t just about rape
They’re an attempt to create a narrative
About all men
