Life Is Not Fair

Who do you think you are?
Because I don't see myself as me
Yes I am an Australian Sudanese girl
But that's not what I'm meant to be
I'm always thinking about my future
Or the time I turn eighteen
But still all of that, isn't enough for me

You guys are always chilling at home
Or always sitting on your phone
While I'm just devastated and alone
Trying to find a place that'll feel like home
Let me say this again,
That this life is not fair
I don't care about the hatred
All that I can bare
All I need to say is that this life is not fair
