I've got my mother's skin, I've got my father's eyes
It's something that I can't deny, it's nothing that I wanna hide
And even though my roots come from the other side
I didn't think they would mind 'cause I heard that love was blind But they can't understand when it comes to me and you
'Cause I don't fit their descriptions
No, tell me how to change traditions
When there's all of them and one of me How can I change a million minds in this lifetime?
What is it I have to do?
If I erase my history, what defines me
If I let them change my truth
Would I be good enough for you? I wish they looked at me and they could see beyond
Everything they think I am, pedigree don't make a man
Don't have to dig too deep to see I'm just like you
What is it they want from me? Tell me what more can I prove So many can't understand, when it comes to you and I
I don't fit in their descriptions though I try
Gotta change those old traditions
When it's all of them and one of me How can I change a million minds in this lifetime?
What is it I have to do?
If I erase my history, what defines me
If I let them change my truth
Would I be good enough for you? I could lie, I could lie, I can't hide
Let them change all I knew
Would I be good enough for you?
I could lie, I could lie, I can't hide
Let them change all I knew We pretend we have open minds
Yet we judge so fast
Tell me why to live out my future?
I must surrender my past How can I change a million minds in this lifetime?
What is it I have to do?
If I erase my history, what defines me
If I let them change my truth How can I change a million minds in this lifetime?
What is it I have to do?
If I erase my history, what defines me
If I let them change my truth
Would I be good enough for you?
Tell me, would I be good enough for you? Would I be good enough for you?
Would I be good enough?
