talk to me now

Lyrics

he said ani, you've gotten tough, 'cause my tone was curt, yeah, and when i'm approached in a dark alley, i don't lift my skirt, in this city, self-preservation, is a full time occupation, i'm determined, to survive on this shore, you know i don't, avert my eyes anymore, in a man's world, i am a woman by birth, and after nineteen times around i have found, they will stop at nothing once they know what you are worth, talk to me now, i played the powerless, in too many dark scenes, and i was blessed with a birth and a death, and i guess i just want some say in between, don't you understand, in the day to day, and the face to face, i have to act, just as strong as i can, just to preserve a place, where i can be who i am, so if you still know how, talk to me now
