(I am not for sale!) Hours and hours chained like an animal
Shackles around both my ankles and wrist
Cold lonely nights no one looking for me, I no longer exist
(I am not for sale!) My family miles and miles away
To survive from this hell I must obey
(I am not for sale!) Treated like dirt just to feel like it
My life and dignity goes away bit by bit
(I am not for sale!) No faith in tomorrow because tomorrow it will all be the same
Still crying and hoping but I'm still wrapped in these iron chains
I don't deserve this
No one does
Our worth as woman taken from us
(I am not for sale!) Treated as such doesn't exist anymore
We're now they're property until we have no value to them anymore
What did we do to deserve to feel so less
To be beaten, threatened and put into positions of depression
(I am not for sale!) We don't deserve to feel not worthy
Where we are put into positions where I lives don't matter through these traumatic journeys
We are not your slaves or your property
To be called profanity names and treated like it, is monstrosity
Tears falling down our faces
We just want to live our lives
We want to walk around feeling confident and safe
Without having to look out for prying eyes
We deserve respect
We deserve to feel freely
I am not your slave
We are not your property
We are woman
We are human beings
We deserve RESPECT!
(Woman and young girls are treated like objects almost everyday. We go through so much to gain respect as a female and a human being. We deserve freedom to be free spirited without having to worry about me being harmed.)
