Nobody
knows of the
woes of a woman
They all want to feast on your body
Nobody knows of the
woes of a woman
We walk in fear,
try to disappear
They grope and they graze and they touch and they take
Without
asking for permission
I'm a woman and as a woman I'm not mine
Nobody knows of the woes of a woman How we fight to survive
With babies on their backs,
on their backs,
on their backs
Taxi drivers talking smack,
talking smack Saying you're just a black woman mad with no dad
They grope and they graze and they touch
and they take
Without
asking for my permission I'm a woman
and as a woman I'm not mine
I'm a woman and as a woman I'm not mine
I'm not mine
Salute
to your queen
You are not afraid to scream that I'm here
I'm here
Salute to your queen
You'll survive the obscene in your head You're here
Salute to your queen Take up space,
come and sing
that I'm here
I'm here
