作词 : Jewell Fortenberry 作曲 : Jewell Fortenberry We try so hard Just don't forget who you are And what's inside your heart Listen it can guide you I know so far The world has made you hide But you should know You're beautiful You're beautiful inside Growing up for these women is like a different scene Everything that you see ain't always what it seems Images and appearances in the magazines Photoshopped And they and so they rob you of self esteem It's a fantasy That you wanna live So you don't eat U Starving to the ribs Get that Plastic surgery Touchup to the lips Or you get that tummy tucked But still it's not enough The obsession with being thin And being pretty cause witty is never in Always based on appearance Only way to get clearance to clubs Get respect if you appear with a thug Always do what's expected is the underlying message Society's objective Is to keep us all oppressed with A lowered self image So we do self damage Business as usual For them But just remember that you're beautiful We try so hard Just don't forget who you are And what's inside your heart Listen it can guide you I know so far The world has made you hide But you should know You're beautiful You're beautiful inside You're beautiful inside You're beautiful inside You're beautiful inside You're beautiful inside Growing up in these streets as a man is difficult Which way to go Sometimes the path is already chose To be exposed to money making and taking oaths Being a gang means gotta maintain The younger generation is doing The same thing that the older class is teaching They just hopping in the flames The cross fire between the cause and effect The system that is broken and the people it affects But still i'm wondering what's gonna come next The violence so apparent Putting pressure on the parents To teach another message The one of self love Cuz only if you have it can you share it with your club Forgotten memories of fellowship and honor Replaced with banging and selling that shit on the streets Running and ducking the police While they steady pursuing you Try to remember that you beautiful We try so hard Just don't forget who you are And what's inside your heart Listen it can guide you I know so far The world has made you hide But you should know You're beautiful You're beautiful inside You're beautiful inside You're beautiful inside You're beautiful inside You're beautiful inside Never let them tell you what you can't do Never let them tell you what you won't do When they hating tell them thank you Somebody else is gonna want you Never let them tell you what you can't do Never let them tell you what you won't do When they hating tell them thank you Somebody else is gonna want you Somebody else is gonna want you We try so hard Just don't forget who you are And what's inside your heart Listen it can guide you I know so far The world has made you hide But you should know You're beautiful You're beautiful inside You're beautiful inside You're beautiful inside You're beautiful inside You're beautiful inside
