05/26/2023 Click here for Spotify, Apple Music, or Youtube. “John Wick” is my 45th official release. This song is edutainment, or educational entertainment which is music that teaches you. The song is intellectually stimulating but dark and contains an all to common story of what those who are trafficked experience. The song was self-recorded, and mixed and mastered by Keyano. The beat is from Retro Beatz, and the cover art is made by Zain from Fiverr.
This is a remake from ‘The Chalice Mixtape’ I made in 2017. I have more songs from the mixtape and demos from SoundCloud on the way. The theme of ‘The Chalice Mixtape’ was gender equality which human trafficking broadly falls under. We all have that feeling of wanting to stop evildoers but the truth is this the solution is simpler, being as trafficking will probably continue to prosper until we legalize prostitution.
As the song enunciates, pimps entrap girls from a young age and the practice of prostitution is illegal so they can’t get assistance from the state, they’re seen as criminals. Then due to their criminal status they’re not able to get a job and are tapped in a life controlled by a pimp. This means the current law gives power and economic control to usually male abusers in an unregulated market.
Pimping/illegal prostitution is all driven by money. If you take away the money you take away the motivation and agency. This is why I support legal brothels. The current economic model of prostitution depends on pimps that have no competition, don’t pay taxes or payroll, and are violent against women. How is this capitalism? I support legalizing prostitution because its the only way to put human trafficker’s out of business.
Prostitution is natural. Prostitution is the oldest known profession. When you introduce money to monkeys the rich ones will pay for sex. We are denying people’s humanity by making prostitution illegal. Sex work is work and women deserve to be paid well for their work in a safe environment just like any other worker. In America if you pay for sex, it’s illegal, unless you film it, then it’s porn and legal. If you would like to help victims of human trafficking you can donate to wearethorn.com

Lyrics:
A threat to justice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere
Ain't shit changed since the days of slavery
Still got the modern-day slave trade functioning every day
Low risk, high profitability
More slaves today than ever before in history
Girls get taken,
Liam Nelson don't save um
We look to Ashton Kutcher to search for their placement
I'm just telling you cuz I want Thorn paid big
Human trafficking, a fact you see
A tragedy in the vicinity
Forced prostitution, involuntary servitude
Tell me bought your conscience, and what it really do for you
Millions oppressed
In a life of regret
Under duress
Exploited for sex
Seventy percent women
Most are children
Man I’d be god damn if I don’t stop the villain
Batman wouldn’t kill, put another murderer in the world
But forget it I’m a kill 'em, I’d rather save the little girl
Being a victim is like falling asleep
And having Freddy Krueger stuck in your dreams
I’mma go hard, change the laws, and stop this
Like someone stole my car and killed my dawg, John Wick
Being a victim is like falling asleep
And having Freddy Krueger stuck in your dreams
I’mma go hard, change the laws, and stop this
Like someone stole my car and killed my dawg, John Wick
A daughter at play
She gets taken away
Is forced to obey
Becomes mentally estranged
While the world ignores this
She gets sexually exploited
Addicted to the endorphins
She got forced in
Feed drugs so she’s addicted
Does anything for her fix again
She don’t know who the victim is
Cuz she’s been in it since she’s a kid
Prey are the vulnerable
Children who run from home
Kids from foster care
That get lost and no one cares
Needs money to survive
Trapped in this life
Coerced for prostitution
Soon enough, what she do is
Gets caught, at fault
For breaking the law
Spends years in a vault
While her pimp gets to walk
Being a victim is like falling asleep
And having Freddy Krueger stuck in your dreams
I’mma go hard, change the laws, and stop this
Like someone stole my car and killed my dawg, John Wick
Being a victim is like falling asleep
And having Freddy Krueger stuck in your dreams
I’mma go hard, change the laws, and stop this
Like someone stole my car and killed my dawg, John Wick
You can get mad at me
Not understand these things
But I’m here for you girl we’re family
Thirty three billion in traffic
Where’s that money from the taxes?
I’m for legal brothels
So we protect what we got there
Oldest job in history, it’s called employment
Look I know your business, I’mma force you to quit
I wonder what would happen
If we gave Philip Defranco a gat then
Told him in three states it’s legal to track down
Petafiles, sex offenders, you can kill’um if you act now
I’d be with Phil laughin, admiring his passion
After we beat them senseless
Tortured their senses
Broke their mentals
And cut off their genitals,
But for real all my real friends kill on the weekend
Pop a beer, eat the heart out of the deceased then
Hang’um from a tree, peel the skin off, disembowel them
I’m really thinking of you pimps and how it all will end
Human skin has the texture of pig flesh
What you gonna do when I want it from you next
Who crazy, who knew, I have schizophrenia fool
And I just want you to know that I’m thinking of you
Being a victim is like falling asleep
And having Freddy Krueger stuck in your dreams
I’mma go hard, change the laws, and stop this
Like someone stole my car and killed my dawg, John Wick
Being a victim is like falling asleep
And having Freddy Krueger stuck in your dreams
I’mma go hard, change the laws, and stop this
Like someone stole my car and killed my dawg, John Wick
