Dianne Reeves – Endangered Species lyrics
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

    Sure I love it !
    It' s a wonderful strong song !
    Every woman can feel each word as her own words, and once (at least) has met evil against womanity.
    No need to speak about my own experience, I just need to sing along, and join my sisters in the music !
    Big love and restect for Dianne Reeves and Jeanne Pisano, who created this protest song.
    I'm yet learning this song, and looking for sheetmusic of it, can you tell me where I can find this ?
    Many thanks in advance
