African Girl |
| i’ve been walking down this road |
| for about 35 years now, and I can tell you, it’s been one hell of a ride |
| And I’ve been carrying my father’s words that he said to me |
| learn to be wise, walk with integrity and be honest |
| and I can hear my grandma say, child I’ve got nothing to give you |
| but may God be with you, in that distant land |
| I am an African girl, well I know where I’m coming from |
| And I know who I want to be |
| I am trying to defying everything they said of us |
| we who have chocolate skin |
| In the back of my mind all I can hear ooh ooh are voices |
| of those who are here and those who’ve already gone |
| And I can hear them whispering, mwari witu, |
| when you go their land, please represent us well |
| and I can hear my grandma say, child I’ve got nothing to give you |
| but may God be with you, in that distant land |
| I am an African girl, and I know where I’m coming from |
| And I know who I want to be |
| I am trying to defying everything they said of us |
| we who have chocolate skin x2 |
| I will sing, I will sing, I will sing |
| Ngai, wa Ibrahamu, ithe witu, udirikane |
| tondu wa thakame ya murugwo, udirikane, udirikane |
| ndeithagia maundu makwa mothe, ndikamachonorithie, udirikane |
| ndeithagia maundu makwa mothe, ndikamachonorithie, udirikane |
| I will sing, I will sing, I will sing |
| I am an African girl, and I know where I’m coming from |
| And I know who I want to be |
| I am trying to defying everything they said of us |
| we who have chocolate skin |
