Aaradhna - Brown Girl Lyrics






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 a slang that I speak

Close your eyes, don't say your word
Don't speak about what you seen or heard
Let's pretend that it's OK
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
Time will show you what I'm talking 'bout
Said 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

    Cabbage man I bet you're one of those white people who listen to heavy metal and complain about how hard their life is...

  42. N.... D....

    well damn! i was not expecting this! i came here after hearing about her turning down that award she got - a stance i greatly respect. what a great surprise. now i gotta check out all her stuff, AND the group she gave her award to: Swidt.

  43. c.... ....

    chanteuse point, pas de hip hop c'est une chanteuse cool j'aimes elle devrait passer à C à vous tiens

  44. b.... i....

    thank you aaradhna

  45. s.... ....

    Her music is R&B and she calls her album BROWN girl which SHE is bringing up her colour and then she does not want to accept the award because she feel she is being RACIALLY boxed in ..Oh The Irony .....I am not sorry as it was YOU that wrote the song and it was YOU that brought this Racial boxed in ..... music is colourblind and no where R&B for coloured people and not white or any other colour ie Justin Timberlake,Robin Thicke,Amy Winehouse,Willa Ford,Teena Marie,Brittany Spears,Kylie Minogue,Gwen Stefani and MANY others

    s.... ....

    sleepup7931 didn't she get an award for urban hip hop? Not rnb

  46. R.... D....

  49. F.... S....

    I like the way you stood up for yourself and your music at the awards ,Good One !!

  50. F.... S....

    Beautiful artist !!

  51. S.... P....

    Your speech tonight reached me all the way over here in the Bay Area tonight. It was everything. You made a new fan and subbie tonight. Thanks for standing up and calling out injustice and inequality when you spot it. You inspired and educated folks tonight. So many lessons.

    S.... P....

    It's great to know you feel the same

  52. T.... D....

    Haha hip hop?

    T.... D....

    The Deep Won they were able to award it to her because it was under a lazy catch-all category of "urban and hip-hop". that's why she turned it down. they could literally give the award to anyone, then, so long as it had an "urban" feel.

  53. L.... l....

    love the song 😀

  54. L.... K....

    Ataahua

  55. S.... R....

    I'm more than the colour of my skin
    I'm the girl that likes to sing
    All I know is whats within
    Just the brown girl in the ring
    Go to school and learn their ways
    Don't have to think at what to say
    While my mother sits 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 the brown girl, in the ring
    I'm a girl, that likes to sing
    I'm not just the 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 and r&b, more than a slang that I speak
    Close your eyes, don't say your word
    Don't speak about what you seen or heard
    Lets pretend that it's ok
    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 just from the outside

    I'm not just the brown girl, in the ring
    I'm a girl, that likes to sing
    I'm not just the brown girl, in the ring
    I'm a girl that likes to sing

    And if you don't know by now
    Time will show you what, I'm talking 'bout
    Said if you don't know by now
    Time will show you what, I'm talking 'bout
    I'm talking 'bout

    I'm not just the brown girl, in the ring
    I'm a girl, that likes to sing
    I'm not just the brown girl, in the ring
    I'm a girl that likes to sing

    i'm a brown girl. it's political. i'm very well aware of my origins...who my parents are. and i will not be coopting black on both sides women's voices, by acting like i don't see colorism. i do. all the time. and no, i ain't confused (black man talking down to us again). i know what the world sees me as--believe it--i walk in visibly very brown skin, daily. and i also know who i am. define yourself how you want to. i choose the truth. it's personal.

  84. S.... ....

    This is amazing.First time listening toy you and I'm stunned 💕💕💕
