Once upon a time in a far away land
was born a little girl against her father's command
however she was raised with love and care
in a nation filled with poverty and despair
they never thought she would grow up to be what she is today
a young woman filled with talent she would hide away
from the mediocrity of this world, she was unique unlike all
her other siblings who stick to the status quo
but being a girl from where she is
it would be hard to get in the entertainment business
seeing all those white faces
hey I'm not being racist, but just give her chance
and she'll show you that she can enhance
the beauty in her voice, the fire in her eyes
just give her a chance and you'll be mesmerized
she fought through trauma at a pretty young age
but everyone goes through shit but hey that ain't the message
that I'm trying to convey
see what I'm trying to say
is that the world we live in is all for equality
but open up the curtains and may be glance at reality
because that isn't the case
she can be whatever she wants, and with all clarity
I mean not be discriminated against colour gender or disability
but I guess it's the world we livin' in
and no she won't be givin' in
