Dean Atta - Brown Girl, Step lyrics

Brown Girl, Step Brown girl, step on stage And let them see you shine Step through the front door No longer declined Step out on your own Knowing you will be fine But don't step in line, brown girl Not this time There are too many brown girls Waiting in line Unemployment – line Chorus – line What has changed but the time? You – brown girl You have changed, with the times Of the times, because of the times Brown girls have been beaten And bruised, forced and used Robbed of their children And denied good news Shackled and shamed Shunned and misnamed Kept from education Shown nothing but pain Felt abandoned by all Even the one above And yet despite it all You still choose love You are not the tragedy How they treat you is Your beautiful potential Is equal to his Brown girl, step Anywhere you want to be And let them see you shine Step through the front door No longer declined Step out on your own Knowing you will be fine But don't step in line, brown girl Not this time.
