I am an endangered species |
|
But I sing no victim's song |
|
I am a woman I am an artist |
|
And I know where my voice belongs |
|
I am a woman I exist |
|
I shake my fist but not my hips |
|
My skin is dark my body is strong |
|
I sign of rebirth no victim's song |
|
I am an endangered species |
|
But I sing no victim's song |
|
I am a woman I am an artist |
|
And I know where my voice belongs |
|
They cut out my sex they bind my feet |
|
Silence my reflex no tongue to speak |
|
I work in the fields I work in the store |
|
I type up the deals and I mop the floors |
|
I am an endangered species |
|
But I sing no victim's song |
|
I am a woman I am an artist |
|
And I know where my voice belongs |
|
My body is fertile I bring life about |
|
Drugs, famine, and war, take them back out |
|
My husband can beat me his right they say |
|
And rape isn't rape you say I like it that way |
|
I am an endangered species |
|
But I sing no victim's song |
|
I am a woman I am an artist |
|
And I know where my voice belongs |
|
I know where my soul belongs |
|
I know where I belong |
