๐ Lyrics
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
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

ndeithagia maundu makwa mothe, ndikamachonorithie, udirikane

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
