The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

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
