lyrics

Brock Turner 19, the Stanford rapist.
She drank too much, entitled to take it
Behind the dumpster forced penetration,
Defiled and battered, hospital patient,

What would have been, a 14year sentence,
Unjustly reduced to only 6 months
Released after 3, with 3 year probation,
Despite the evidence, final adjudication.

When Brian Banks was 16, convicted of similar crime.
A football athlete, and he was black,
served 5 years, falsely accused
The judge felt imprisoning Brock Turner
Would be an overreach of justice
Would pose no threat, if not incarcerated
too much collateral damage on his life

white, male, wealthy, athlete (x2)
His father made a weak attempt to defend the sex offender
By reducing the assault to "20 minutes of action"
Perpetuating rape culture by portraying the assailant as a victim
with no swim scholarship
Shielded by his record by his wealth and by his race
the prosecution attacked the victim as if she's the one to blame
robbing her confidence safety and intimacy while Brock Turner walks away
For her it's not over
Not over(x3)
Not done
