Villain Lyrics

Give rise to the villain
Give rise to the hidden
Deprived of the protector
Unshield from the weather

My sister she used goat's blood
To conceal her ravaged body
But I was gifted
With my uncle Freddy's baby
For some time I could hide
Bloated belly babe inside

Give rise tot he villain
Give rise to the hidden
Deprived of the protector
Unshield from the weather

What happened to my life
Oh this ain't right
Should have taken it myself
With uncle Freddy's knife
'cause the grave is better suited
For a bloodless daughter bride

I could be reading way too far into this, but I think this is about a miscarriage stemming from an unwanted pregnancy (maybe stemming from an unwanted sexual experience in the first place).

The last bit is super interesting. "What happened to my life ... I should have taken it myself ... 'bloodless daughter bride'" seems to refer to the girl and the baby concurrently. I should have ended the pregnancy myself / I should have killed myself. Bloodless daughter bride = pregnant (ie: not menstruating) girl / a dead child who [would have been] born into the same abusive situation that lead to its conception.

Just my take...
