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.
