I’d cry if shame wore us
                                                                     (WHAT)
out winded from patriarchy
                                                                     (WHAT)
my pussy draws crowds
                                                                     (WHAT)
iced out          when the winter heatless
                                                                     (WHAT)

                                                                     (WHAT)

                                                                     (WHAT)
call us something ‘side our name
                                                                     (WHAT)

                                                                     (WHAT)
more times than we haven’t
                                                                     (WHAT)
pact of protection       (WHAT)       violence
                                                                     (WHAT)
                                                                                          (WHAT)
                                                                                                              (WHAT)
an inheritance
