Endangered Species |
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 |
