Cursed from the day that I left the womb
To live out my days in this whitewashed tomb
Every day's a struggle for equality
I can't give up or else I'll lose this part of me
I just wanna feel beautiful
In the skin that I'm in
I just wanna do natural
Is that too much?
I wanna be, wanna be, wanna be beautiful
I wanna be, wanna be, wanna be beautiful
I wanna be, wanna be, wanna be beautiful
Shades of cocoa, olives, cinnamon and gold
Beneath this epidermis, quiet strength untold
And for my coat of color
I'd like to thank my mother
I just wanna feel beautiful
In the skin that I'm in
I just wanna do natural
Is that too much?
I just wanna feel beautiful
In the skin that I'm in
I just wanna feel visible
Is that too much?
To be more than an object of pleasure
To be more than my mathematical measure
To be more than an object of pleasure
To be more than
My mathematical measure
I just want to feel beautiful
In the skin that I'm in
I just wanna do natural
Is that too much?
I'm just gonna feel beautiful
In the skin that I'm in
I just wanna do natural
I just wanna do natural, is that so hard I'm just gonna feel beautiful in the skin that I'm in
I'm just gonna do natural, is that so hard
I'm gonna be, gonna be, gonna be beautiful
I'm gonna be beautiful
Gonna be beautiful
I'm gonna be, gonna be, gonna be beautiful
Beautiful
