Bain town Woman make the devil run

Little Brown Girl
Every brown girl around the world

Little brown girl scorched by the sun,
shield your eyes,your journey's just begun.

The smell of the ghetto is in your hair,
streetwise diva ,have no fear.
Obscene words, purse your lips,
impatients hands, grip your hips.
Lord Jesus,help me now you cry aloud ,
won't beg or plead,your too damn proud.
Tears flow, burning lifeless eyes,
your too damn stubborn, refusing to cry.
Life for you is do or die.

Children sit with outstretched hands,
mama can't meet their demands.
Not a life that you planned.

Little brown girl scorched by the sun,
shield your eyes,your journey has just begun.
