I Don’t Like It
Defying Words: Rachel Curtis's Anthem Against Hurtful Speech
Lyrics
I don't want to but I need to
I have a reluctance, but there's a necessity
Keep a civil ground
Maintain a peaceful atmosphere
Cuz baby if I don't
Because if I don't
You'll be taking me down
You will bring me down
One ear in and out the other
I hear what you say, but it doesn't affect me
No words hurt me
Words don't harm me emotionally
You shoot me with your gun
You criticize me, but I will escape
But I'm gonna flee
Despite your attacks
I don't like it
Expressing dislike for a situation
When you say those things
Disapproval when you utter certain words
Oh, when you say those things
Repetition of disapproval
That make me mad
Words that provoke anger
I don't like it
Reiterating dislike for the situation
When you say those things
Expressing displeasure with spoken words
Oh, when you say those things
Repetition of expressing displeasure
That make me mad
Words causing frustration
I can't stop your Venom from spreading
Unable to prevent the negative influence
Through my veins
Negative impact spreading through emotions
But I got his protection
Seeking protection from a higher power
Good God and He reigns
Acknowledging a higher power's authority
One ear in and out the other
Reiteration of emotional resilience
No words hurt me
Words have no emotional effect
You shoot mе with your gun
Criticism doesn't hinder progress
But I'm gonna flee
Determined to escape despite challenges
I don't like it
Repeating dislike for the situation
When you say thosе things
Disapproval of spoken words
Oh, when you say those things
Reiteration of disapproval
That make me mad
Words causing frustration and anger
I don't like it
Expressing displeasure with spoken words
When you say thosе things
Repetition of expressing displeasure
Oh, when you say those things
Words causing frustration
That make me mad
Reiterating the impact of words
Shoot me with your gun
Mention of a weapon, symbolic of verbal attack
But I'm gonna flee
Determined to escape despite verbal attacks
I don't like it
Repeating dislike for the situation
When you say those things
Disapproval when you utter certain words
Oh, when you say those things
Repetition of disapproval
That make me mad
Words causing frustration and anger
I don't like it
Expressing displeasure with spoken words
When you say those things
Repetition of expressing displeasure
Oh, when you say those things
Words causing frustration
That make me mad
Reiterating the impact of words
