Transaction: the life of a woman in Salone
Gimme rice
Ah gee you belleh
Gimme wata
Ah gee you belleh
Gimme education
Ah gee you belleh
Gimme ride
Ah gee you belleh
Gimme work
Ah gee you belleh
Gimme me protection
Ah gee you belleh
Gimme freedom
Ah gee you belleh
The life of a woman in Salone
Is always a transaction
A segregation
A degradation
Of her worth
Her dignity
Her emancipation
