SERIOUSLY by Gbeke Lyrics

Gbeke, Gbeke

No justice, no peace, only violence
I’m a survivor and I won’t be silenced

I was raped
Are you sure of what you say?
Can you tell me what you were wearing that day?
I was raped
It happens all the time
It could’ve been worse, suck it up you’ll be fine
I said I was raped
Well did you lead him on?
Maybe the impression that you gave him was wrong
But I was raped
Why‘d you walk alone?
Trusted a stranger, it’s your fault you should have known

Church don’t take it seriously
Family don’t take it seriously
Cops don’t take it seriously
I pray God gon take it seriously
School don’t take it seriously
Friends don’t take it seriously
Why isn’t rape taken seriously?
I pray God gon take this seriously
Seriously, oh seriously
Seriously, are you kidding me
Seriously, oh seriously
Seriously, ly, ly

I was raped
It was a silly mistake
There’s no need to make it a court case
I was raped
Why speak up now?
It happened long ago, guess you like attention wow
I said I was raped
Well tell me was he black?
Let it go the system’s wack, and this will set him back
But I was raped
Tell me was he white?
He’ll just get a slap on the wrist and no jail time

Church don’t take it seriously
Family don’t take it seriously
Cops don’t take it seriously
I pray God gon take it seriously
School don’t take it seriously
Friends don’t take it seriously
Why isn’t rape taken seriously?
I pray God gon take this seriously
Seriously, oh seriously
Seriously, are you kidding me
Seriously, oh seriously
Seriously, ly, ly

I was raped
We must do more than pray
Cuz our sisters are raped and murdered every single day
