On “Brown Girl”, Aaradhna addresses the issues we have in the world regarding discrimination towards others, and being happy in your own skin. Every day different walks of people are looked down upon, all because of their physical appearance. People still haven’t grasped the concept of ‘not judging a book by its cover’. This song encourages people to be true to themselves no matter what anyone else thinks or says, regardless of what race, skin colour or gender they are.

[Verse 1] I'm more than the colour of my skin I'm a girl that likes to sing All I know is what's within Not just a brown girl in the ring Go to school and learn their ways Told how to think and what to say While my mother says to pray I pray for better days God please help them see They ain't no different from me Not above, not beneath Teach them equality

[Chorus] I'm not just a brown girl In the ring I'm a girl That likes to sing I'm not just a brown girl In the ring I'm a girl That likes to sing

[Verse 2] I'm more than what they think of me More than the colour tones that they see More than urban, R&B More than the slang that I speak Close your eyes, don't say a word Don't speak about what you seen or heard Let's pretend that it's okay Just the way the devil likes to play Look in my eyes, look in my eyes I can't lie, I can't lie All these years of my life I'm judged from the outside

[Chorus] I'm not just a brown girl In the ring I'm a girl That likes to sing I'm not just a brown girl In the ring I'm a girl That likes to sing

[Verse 2] I'm more than what they think of me More than the colour tones that they see More than urban, R&B More than the slang that I speak Close your eyes, don't say a word Don't speak about what you seen or heard Let's pretend that it's okay Just the way the devil likes to play Look in my eyes, look in my eyes I can't lie, I can't lie All these years of my life I'm judged from the outside

[Chorus] I'm not just a brown girl In the ring I'm a girl That likes to sing I'm not just a brown girl In the ring I'm a girl That likes to sing

[Bridge] And if you don't know by now (if you don't know by now) Time will show you what I'm talking 'bout Said if you don't know by now (if you don't know by now) Time will show you what I'm talking 'bout I'm talking 'bout

[Chorus] I'm not just a brown girl In the ring I'm a girl That likes to sing I'm not just a brown girl In the ring I'm a girl That likes to sing

🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳

all are beautiful.

beautiful brown girl, your thick hair is a luxury. beautiful brown girl, you hate the hyperpigmentation but your skin can’t help carrying as much sun as possible — you are a magnet for light. beautiful brown girl, you will have dark circles too early — appreciate the halos. unibrow, the bridging of two worlds vagina, so much darker than the rest of you because it’s trying to hide a gold mine.

for black, brown, dark and mediterranean girls everywhere.

brown skin girls

What really makes you angry?

lots of things make me angry, anon. the racism my family and I face every day. the ‘stinky’ hand motions school classmates gesture when they see me eating indian food at lunch. discrimination in the systems and streets. the racism poc face everywhere every day. misogyny. sexism and assault, rape, gender discrimination. animal cruelty and animal abuse. where do I even begin with this? toxic masculinity. terfs. domestic violence. violence against victims. the ‘all lives matter’ movement (ofc all lives matter but are your race killed every day for simply existing, anglo saxon white woman? no)

that’s indian cultural thanaka, a beauty symbol, almost like the bindi.

What do these girls have on their faces and arms?

that looks delish

are you even a brown girl if some random white lady hasn’t said you look like princess jasmine

this is so beautiful I’m going to cry
