Endangered Species

I am an endangered species (Mhm, well)

But I sing no victim's song

(I sing no victim's song) (Well, well, well, well)

I am a woman (Hey, I am a woman)

I am an artist (Ooh, yes, I am)

And I know where my voice belongs

(I know where my voice belongs, mhm)

I am an endangered species

But I sing no victim's songs

I am a woman, I am an artist

And I know where my voice belongs (Mhm)

I am an endangered species

But I sing no victim's songs

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 sing of rebirth, no victim's song

I am an endangered species

But I sing no victim's songs

I am a woman, I am an artist

And I know where my voice belongs (Mhm)

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 stores

I type up the deals, and I mop the floors

I am an endangered species

But I sing no victim's songs

I am a woman, I am an artist

And I know where my voice belongs (Mhm)

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 songs

I am a woman, I am an artist

And I know where my voice belongs

I know where my soul belongs (Mhm)

I am an endangered species

But I sing no victim's songs

I am a woman, I am an artist

And I know where my voice belongs

Ooh, I know where my soul belongs

Ooh, I know where I belong

Ooh, yee, yeah, yeah

Hee, yeah, yeah

Hee, yeah, yeah

Hee, yeah, yeah

Hee, yeah, yeah

Hee, yeah, yeah

Hee, yeah, yeah

Hee, yeah, yeah

Hee, yeah, yeah

Hee, yeah, yeah

Hee, yeah, yeah

Hee, yeah, yeah
