Un-fair and Lovely
I’m Beautiful Brown

I’m letting it down
Don’t need your blessing
Naan Kalakaren

Appadi Poodu Di

Not gonna shame me
Appadi Poodu Di
Giving it back

What I’m supposed to be
Nobody Controlling me
Appadi Poodu Di!

Make it loud out here fighting
Watch me now, always rising
Won't back down, won't be silent
Nobody Controlling me, Appadi Poodu Di

Dark knees, dark eyes, no powder
Sun filled, my skin holds power
[Log Kya kahenge]
I Dont care people say
[Log Kya kahenge]
Dont care people say
Now they Try to come for me, Ta ne ta ne ta
Im the one who drums the beat, Ta ne ta ne ta
Now they Try to come for me, Ta ne ta ne ta
Im the one who drums the beat, Ta ne ta ne ta
People they talking and talking and
I don’t got time to be listening
People they talking and talking and
I don’t got time to be listening

Killing the game
Not gonna change me
Appadi Poodu Di
Say what you want
Not gonna shame me
Appadi Poodu Di

Nobody Controlling me
Appadi Poodu Di!
Make it loud out here fighting
Watch me now, always rising
Won't back down, won't be silent
Nobody Controlling me, Appadi Poodu Di
Now they Try to come for me, who they think they are
Im the one who drums the beat, Ta ne ta ne ta
Now they Try to come for me, who do you think you are
Im the one who drums the beat, Ta ne ta ne ta
