You're quick with the disclaimer, hand up like you're innocent "I'd never do that," but your boys just did and you said nothing yet You want a gold star for the bare minimum respect you think you give But you're still talking over her in meetings, still explaining how she lives You retweeted something feminist, you called your buddy out Once, when it was easy, when there was no social clout to doubt But behind closed doors you're different, "she's just sensitive" you say You're the good guy in your story while the women walk away Oh, you're so offended That we don't make exceptions For your fragile ego And your hurt deflections Not all men, but all the men I know Not all men, but you still run the show Not all men, but which one's gonna snap? Not all men, but you still got her back? Not all men, just the ones in power Not all men, just this very hour Not all men, but you're defending them So what's the fucking difference in the end? You say you're an ally but your comfort comes first every time The second that it costs you, suddenly you draw the line "What about false accusations?" when she's telling you her truth You need proof and documentation for the violence in her youth You date women half your age but "it's different" when you do You send unsolicited opinions on her body, call it "helping" too You're mad we clutch our keys at night, but you won't check your friend Who makes those "jokes" at parties that you laugh at then defend Oh, you're so offended That we're naming patterns Your "not all men" speeches Show that's all that matters Not all men, but all the men I know Not all men, but you still run the show Not all men, but which one's gonna snap? Not all men, but you still got her back? Not all men, just the ones in power Not all men, just this very hour Not all men, but you're defending them So what's the fucking difference in the end? "I'm one of the good ones," yeah, I've heard that line before Right before you prove you're just like every man who came before You've got a daughter, got a mother, got a sister, got a wife But you benefit daily off the danger in our life You were raised right, you respect us, you would never cross that line But your silence is complicity, you think your hands are clean? They're mine Stained with every time you laughed, every time you looked away Your "not all men" is just permission for the ones who make us prey If you're really one of the good ones, if you're different, if you care Stop defending, start disrupting, be uncomfortable, be there 'Cause your comfort is our danger and your ego is our cost And your "not all men" just tells us which men we've already lost Not all men, I can hear you now Not all men, but you still won't allow That the system serves you, benefits you, protects your name While we're still playing a losing game Not all men, but enough of you Not all men, but what you gonna do? 'Cause saying "not me" just covers your friends So what's the fucking difference in the end? Not all men But definitely you
