Talk To Me Now - Lyrics by Difranco Ani


Lyrics
he said ani, you've gotten tough'cause my tone was curtyeah, and when I'm approached in a dark alley
I don't lift my skirtin this cityself-preservationis a full time occupation
I'm determinedto survive on this shoreyou know I don'tavert my eyes anymorein a man's world
I am a woman by birthand after nineteen times around I have foundthey will stop at nothing once they know what you are worthtalk to me now
I played the powerlessin too many dark scenesand I was blessed with a birth and a deathand I guess I just want some say in betweendon't you understandin the day to dayand the face to face
I have to actjust as strong as I canjust to preserve a placewhere I can be who I amso if you still know howtalk to me now
