lyrics
he said ani, you’ve gotten tough
because 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 these shores
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
in the face to face
i have to act as strong as i can
just to preserve a place
where i can be who i am
so if you still know how
you can talk to me now
because 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 these shores
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
in the face to face
i have to act as strong as i can
just to preserve a place
where i can be who i am
so if you still know how
you can talk to me now

I think it's difficult to write songs about something other than romantic love, and still be able to communicate the intensity with which those feelings can hit a person. Some of the entries on this album are fantastic examples of this niche.
