๐ Lyrics
You're an African girl though
They say African girl
You've got to just wipe your tears, yah
You gotta be a soldier
You cannot cry again
Oh no no, yeah yeah, oh yeah yeah, ah
Walking into school like I was happy
But I felt so alone
My mother didn't call but my father was at home
My father picked me up when I opened up that door
My mother wasn't home
My mother was in Naija
I couldn't find her
Auntie was at work and my uncle didn't bother
I went to my father asking for a hug
And he pushed me away
And said I was a soldier
But he made the daughter
I don't wanna be an African soldier
I don't wanna be a soldier
Oh yeah yeah yeah yeah, ah
My auntie asked me what's the issue
She gave me a tissue, said I should wipe my tears
You don't have issues
You're a little girl and you should stay at home
And read some of your books
And play games on the phone
You're an African soldier
'Cause you're an African soldier
I don't wanna be a soldier
I don't wanna be a soldier
I'm not an African soldier
They say African girl
You've got to just wipe your tears, yah
You gotta be a soldier
You cannot cry again
Oh no no, yeah yeah, oh yeah yeah, ah
Walking into school like I was happy
But I felt so alone
My mother didn't call but my father was at home
My father picked me up when I opened up that door
My mother wasn't home
My mother was in Naija
I couldn't find her
Auntie was at work and my uncle didn't bother
I went to my father asking for a hug
And he pushed me away
And said I was a soldier
But he made the daughter
I don't wanna be an African soldier
I don't wanna be a soldier
Oh yeah yeah yeah yeah, ah
My auntie asked me what's the issue
She gave me a tissue, said I should wipe my tears
You don't have issues
You're a little girl and you should stay at home
And read some of your books
And play games on the phone
You're an African soldier
'Cause you're an African soldier
I don't wanna be a soldier
I don't wanna be a soldier
I'm not an African soldier
