Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I'm sorry, I'm so sorry
I'm not what you thought I was
And I can never be the thing you're wishing that I was
I like what I like
Do something about it
Why you worried about who I love?
Why you worried about who I fuck?
[PreChorus]
Making the feeling so wrong
When it feels right
Tell me I am wrong
For living my life
They think they know it all
But they don't know it all
[PreChorus]
Making the feeling so wrong
When it feels right
Do what I want
'Cause I'm living my life
I can have it all
You know I want it all
[Chorus]
I'm just a young black girl
Young black girl from Africa
And this is who I am (This is who I am)
Eh, take me for who I am (Take me for who I am)
I'm just a young black girl
Young black girl from Africa
And this is who I am (This is who I am)
Eh, take me for who I am (Take me for who I am)
[Chorus]
'Cause I'm chasing the rainbow
Rainbow
'Cause I'm chasing the rainbow
Rainbow
[Verse 2]
Cancel who?
Ṣe you wan cancel me?
Cancel your father
I no be your mate
You can't eat the food that's in my plate
[Verse 3]
To all the girls in the world
The world is yours
And you can do what you want
You can be so much more
[PreChorus]
Making the feeling so wrong
When it feels right
Do what I want
'Cause I'm living my life
I can have it all
You know I want it all
[Chorus]
I'm just a young black girl
Young black girl from Africa
And this is who I am (This is who I am)
Eh, take me for who I am (Take me for who I am)
I'm just a young black girl
Young black girl from Africa
And this is who I am (This is who I am)
Eh, take me for who I am (Take me for who I am)
[Chorus]
'Cause I'm chasing the rainbow
Rainbow
'Cause I'm chasing the rainbow
Rainbow
'Cause I'm chasing the rainbow
Rainbow
I see all
Rainbow means hope
