I can see how it was interpreted to be a rape anthem, but I'm sorry, when I read the lyrics I just dont see it.

The "you know you want it" could very well be about a shy girl, or a girl playing hard to get. Not meaning the end result is rape, but more, like "admit it, you want me". I like having my hair pulled and my a.s.s smacked I don't find it demeaning or violent, so who's to say the girl in the song doesn't too.

The part of "tear your a.s.s in 2" yeah I can understand the brutal sodomy people choose to see, but I grew up around boys, hung out with guys and now ultimately men. They kinda say things like that to express how hard the wanna fk someone. I've never thought my peers meant raping anyone, and they didnt.

So IMO? No its not a rape anthem. If the lyrics stated the girl screamed (in terror), said "no" or ran away, I'd change my mind though. Nothing in the lyrics suggest anything is being done against anybody's will. It sounds more like a lot of begging for sex.

Like alot of things in life, its about perception. How we perceive this song is how we perceive it. Only way to know who's right is ask the song writer, instead of spread our possibly damaging perceptions all over.
Thanks for this!
