"V6 productions right back at it again. We here root boii, Raynard Stephen, Wawa, and Kod. (Introduction of the singers)

 I want to tell you that you look better being brown skinned ( not sure if that’s what he meant or it being shiny or tanned like the 🦀) and collecting firewood but you’re trying to be white. You even curl your hair and wear makeup(red lipstick)2x

This generation is so difficult, many are trying to be white cruising around. You curl your hair and wear makeup( red lipstick). 2x

Pretentious , pretentious , but you’re poor. You curl your hair and wear makeup(red lipstick). 2x

I want to tell you that you look better being brown skinned ( not sure if that’s what he meant or it being shiny or tanned like the 🦀) and collecting firewood but you’re trying to be white. You even curl your hair and wear makeup(red lipstick)2x

I love how you smile, you are so beautiful and nobody is like you. I just want play with your teeth like a piano. You even curl your hair and wear red lipstick. (I’m not sure if the singer here is trying to be sarcastic 😂) 2x

I was trying to get your attention but you turned around stick your tongue and rolled your eyes at me. I have never seen an attitude like that before. You even curl your hair and wear lipstick. 2x

The song is basically addressing how islanders have become whitewashed when they should appreciate where they come from. I hope they’ll forgive me if I made the lyrics sound horrid. It’s not the best translation but I tried with the best of my knowledge. I personally love the song."

This song was first recorded by The Islanders.

I haven't found any information about this group. Were they also from Pohnpei?

The term "wanna be" originated in African American Vernacular English.

"For those who don't understand the lyrics.... This song is about a girl in this era being all Americanized and so bougie(boujee) that she wears red lip stick with a new hair-style and when this guy tries to hit on her she rolls her eyes (because she probably thinks he's not on her level). Long story short "don't forget where you come from and be kind and treat everyone with respect because that's the island way"."
-snip-
"Bougie" (boujee) originated in African American Vernacular English. Here's an excerpt from https://www.usatoday.com/story/college/2017/06/30/what-youre-really-saying-when-you-call-something-bougie/37433439/
"Urban Dictionary's top entry for bougie defines it thus: “Aspiring to be a higher class than one is. Derived from bourgeois - meaning middle/upper class, traditionally despised by communists.” So in modern-day English, someone who is bougie is creating an air of wealth or upper class status — whether it's true or not.Jun 30, 2017"
