Rap Contra El Machismo

Rap Against Machismo
I write for those without color, gender, or land
I sing for the woman who is part of this war
Even for the idiot who calls a woman a bitch
For doing what she wants and then calling her a whore
Sure, I was taught that since I was little
Franches, you must behave like a lady
I never did, that's why some say I'm macho
But I don't give a shit what those fucking machos say
I've been foul-mouthed since I learned to speak
I don't give a shit if I am or am not a lady
I'm straightforward because I speak as I please
But that doesn't mean, listen, I stop being polite
So I can tell you to fuck off politely
Or without you realizing it, I do it through a song
And rest assured what I tell you is quite simple
My clothes aren't short, is the hem of your underwear short?
That aside from your mentality
Because short is a while and lacking in reality
Accept that a woman doesn't dress to get your attention
It's your sick mind having a hallucination
Dad told you look son, you're a champion if you fuck
Many women, you prove you're a man
Or mom told you son, she must please you
To wash, clean, iron, and above all, not complain
Let me give that boy a brief piece of advice
If you grow up hearing that, you'll go far
So far that you'll end up serving a sentence when old
You'll thank those old pieces of advice for getting you so far
We hate dirty compliments, intense stares
Whistling at us like dogs, honking at us from cars
If they harass us in front of people making us tense
They do it in the mornings, what will they do without people at night?
But listen for now we're talking about society
But machismo is also present in the workplace
Because a pregnant woman is seen as a burden
Let's not complicate things, men, and if she's a lesbian
Not to mention the typical comments
Look, she got promoted, for sure she slept with someone
I don't know why she dresses like that if she only comes to work
She's too dolled up, she's surely looking for something
They limit themselves to thinking only with their penis and I don't know if that's called a gift or if it causes pity
I lean towards the latter but it must be said
You have to be insecure to insist after a 'no'
I stopped believing in religion when I realized
That Eve was a feminist, revolutionary, anti-system
Who invented the damn forbidden fruit?
We wouldn't eat apples if it weren't for her sin
I have an open mind and respect religion
What I don't respect is the belief in male superiority
Che, Gandhi, Mandela, or going back Nero
Even the bad ones are men, Hitler, Franco, Mussolini, and Donald Trump
I'm not saying women haven't done great things
That's why today I give my opinion, study, vote, among other things
I say that women have been less recognized
Because they weren't given the opportunity to be defeated
A woman is fragile and you shouldn't hit her
Don't forgive, a woman is a person and you shouldn't touch her
As if physical violence were the only problem
It's harassment, insults, it's psychological violence
When are we going to 'I'll fuck her first'
I don't know if you're animals, we're not trophies
Don't trust a man, Cancerbero once said
But is a man called a man when he treats us like objects?
I'm fed up, sorry, I correct, ovaries
It's just a habit and ovaries already sound strange to me
Because the man has always been the strong one, the extraordinary one
This time it was his turn to be the princess, and me the hero Mario
To finish, I'm not a feminist by vocation
I'm a feminist because I simply have no other choice
I respect what I want because I respect what I am
I defend the women of tomorrow by fighting today
