Lyrics Brown Girl - Aaradhna

Brown Girl

I’m more than the colour of my skin
I’m a girl that likes to sing
All I know is what’s within
Not just a brown girl in the ring
Go to school and learn their ways
Told how to think and what to say
While my mother says to pray
I pray for better days
God please help them see
They ain’t no different from me
Not above, not beneath
Teach them equality
I’m not just a brown girl
In the ring
I’m a girl
That likes to sing
I’m not just a brown girl
In the ring
I’m a girl
That likes to sing
I’m more than what they think of me
More than the colour tones that they see
More than urban, R&B
More than the slang that I speak
Close your eyes, don’t say a word
Don’t speak about what you seen or heard
Let’s pretend that it’s okay
Just the way the devil likes to play
Look in my eyes, look in my eyes
I can’t lie, I can’t lie
All these years of my life
I’m judged from the outside
I’m not just a brown girl
In the ring
I’m a girl
That likes to sing
I’m not just a brown girl
In the ring
I’m a girl
That likes to sing
And if you don’t know by now (if you don’t know by now)
Time will show you what
I’m talking 'bout
Said if you don’t know by now (if you don’t know by now)
Time will show you what
I’m talking 'bout
I’m talking 'bout
I’m not just a brown girl
In the ring
I’m a girl
That likes to sing
I’m not just a brown girl
In the ring
I’m a girl
That likes to sing
