From the beautiful queen that you can be becomin
You can look in my palm and see the storm comin
Read the book of my life and see Ive overcome it Just because the length of your hair ain't long
And they often criticize you for your skin tone
Go on and hold your head high cause you a pretty woman
Get your runway stride honed and keep it goin
