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
While they grow,
And they graze
And they touch
And they take without asking for permission
I’m a woman and as a woman
I’m not blind
I’m a woman and as a woman
I’m not blind
Nobody knows of the woes of a woman
How we fight to survive
Mothers with babies on their backs
On their backs
On their backs
Taxi drivers talking smack
Talking smack
Talking smack
Saying that just a black woman (*)
And they grow,
And they graze
And they touch
And they take without asking me for my permission
I’m a woman and as a woman
I’m not blind
I’m a woman and as a woman
I’m not blind
Salute to you queen
You are not afraid to scream that ‘’I’m healed’’
I’m healed
Salute to you queen
You’ve survived the obscene
And you’re healed
You’re healed
Salute to you queen
Take up space
Come and sing that ‘’I’m healed
I’m healed’’
Salute to you queen
Stand with me and sing that ‘’I’m healed,
That I’m healed
That I’m healed
That I’m healed
That I’m healed
That I’m healed
