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
