[Jamila Woods, Lisa Mishra] (Translation)
A little shy sometimes, little quiet but I’m workin on it
Aajaa (Come)
A little fire inside you can say but I’m workin on it
Saathiyaa, Saathiyaa (Friend)
And I'ma need four five of your time I be countin on it
Makin moves some days hittin snooze but we workin on it Aajaa (Come)
And then you call
Aajaa (Come)
And then you call me
When they say love they don’t mean us
Saathiyaa (Friend)
But love like ours don’t need no laws
Maybe you could just come by
Maybe you could just come by
Maybe you could just come by
Maybe you could, maybe you could
Maybe you could just come by
Aajaa (Come)
Maybe you could just come by
Maybe you could, maybe you could
Maybe you could, maybe you could
Saathiyaa (Friend)
Aajaa, mere naal aajaa (Come over)
Saathiyaa, aajaa (Friend, come)
Maybe you could, maybe you could
Brown Girls Theme was written by Lisa Mishra & Jamila Woods.
Brown Girls Theme was produced by Dee Lilly.
Jamila Woods released Brown Girls Theme on Wed Nov 16 2016.
Jamila sent me Dee’s production and we wrote our lyrics separately. Incredibly enough, we came up with the same words in two different languages (“maybe you could just come by”/“friend, come over”).
