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 hips, I clench my fist
My skin is dark my body is strong
I sing 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
