Why they tryna tell me what I can and cannot do Appropriating my shit but calling my shit savage too Telling me to go back home I think you must be confused Telling us that we too dark cos the sun don't shine for you I'm pretty nice, not usually mean But if you talk about my people I might have to intervene We could play cool and forget the pain that we Sike bitch, you know this suffering wasn't done for free I'm a brown bitch melanin rich Fijian queen I'm a brown bitch melanin rich Fijian queen I'm a brown bitch melanin rich Fijian queen Hailing from the coolie diaspora know what that mean I'm a brown bitch melanin rich Fijian queen I'm a brown bitch melanin rich Fijian queen I'm a brown bitch melanin rich Fijian queen Hailing from the coolie diaspora know what that mean It means my people had to struggle just to try to be seen Always trying to suppress us do you know what I see I see everyone around you staring at me on they screens Talkin' bout how Pallavi is the woman of they dreams Never thought you'd see a girl like me come back from defeat Asking me all of these questions as I'm walking down these streets Always trying to define but I'm my own identity Always trying to define but I'm my own identity Lemme make it clear we ain't talkin' bout a race We talkin' bout a system that's always tryna erase The voices of the young, oppressed until they fade That's why we need to continue in order to create I'm a brown bitch melanin rich Fijian queen I'm a brown bitch melanin rich Fijian queen I'm a brown bitch melanin rich Fijian queen Hailing from the coolie diaspora know what that mean I'm a brown bitch melanin rich Fijian queen I'm a brown bitch melanin rich Fijian queen I'm a brown bitch melanin rich Fijian queen Hailing from the coolie diaspora know what that mean They take our people, they take our past, they throw it all away They take our voices, they take our land, they take our right to pray They didn't know we come from resilience and faith We still here, we staying here, we leading the way I'm a brown bitch melanin rich Fijian queen I'm a brown bitch melanin rich Fijian queen I'm a brown bitch melanin rich Fijian queen Hailing from the coolie diaspora know what that mean I'm a brown bitch melanin rich Fijian queen I'm a brown bitch melanin rich Fijian queen I'm a brown bitch melanin rich Fijian queen Hailing from the coolie diaspora know what that mean
