Ain’t I a Woman?
Luedji Luna Lyrics

The lyrics to Luedji Luna's song Ain't I a Woman? express the anger and frustration of a black woman who has been mistreated and not respected by a man. She is adamant that he will pay for the hurt that he has caused her and vows to curse him, cast a spell on him, and ruin his reputation by dragging his name through the mud. She warns that he will drink in hell for what he has done to her.

The second half of the lyrics powerfully refer to the intersection of race and gender, as she asks the man if he sees her as less than a woman because of her skin color. She calls out his hypocrisy for indulging in her sexually, but not being able to publicly acknowledge their relationship. Through the repeated question, "Por acaso eu não sou uma mulher?" ("Am I not a woman?"), she demands to be treated with the same respect and dignity as any other woman, regardless of her race.

This song is a protest against the patriarchy and white supremacy that have historically marginalized and oppressed black women. The lyrics are a call to action for black women to take pride in their identity and demand their rights and respect.
