Slavery is almost understandable -

Freedom is an unfamiliar disease.

I chew at metal, teeth broken and decayed,

I lick my wounds and I stare at my lungs.

Vote for me, I know what love is -

A mutilation of the ovaries

Biting down on plastic tongues -

They slapped me when I was born.

Protection supplied is stainless.

My mother dies when I open my eyes.

I dive under quilted skin,

It makes me feel beautiful.

Vote for me, I know what love is -

A mutilation of the ovaries

Biting down on plastic tongues -

They slapped me when I was born.

Equality puts your women on top shelves;

This is a white kiss on a black canvas.
