My Skin - Lizzo

Lyrics by：Lizzo

Composed by：Lizzo/Bionik

Learning to love yourself and like learning to love

Your body is like a whole journey that

I feel like every person but more specifically

Women have to go through so I feel like doing

This is a good way to kinda break through

And kinda seal the last chapter of

The learning to love and just loving

Aaa na

Oh yeah

Ooh what's deeper than

What's deeper than the darkest best

Kept secret Beneath the surface we could

Let it bring us together or

It could tear us apart oh

I'm filled with it

I gotta love with no conditions

Though it's hard to re-envision time and time again

Even when even when it didn't matter anymore

The most beautiful thing that you ever seen

Is even bigger than what we think it means

Reflections in my bloodstreams it's even bigger than

I woke up in this I woke up in this

In my skin

I can't wash it away so you can't take it from me

My brown skin

Oh yeah

Real world big girl meets world

A crazy position now

Your dreams is your mission huh

Staring in the mirror realizing wish it worked

Now all I wish is for

A chance to give my kids a Ford

I got a family tree that's worth praising the Lord

Mama looking like the second whoo look at God

Sister like a soldier hold it down

Southwest gon' hold it down uh

I love you don't forget it

You beautiful Black masterpiece

Boy they don't make brothers like you

Uh make it happen with that Black girl magic

The hat trick off of what we must do

I woke up in this I woke up in this

In my skin

I can't wash it away

So you can't take it from me

My brown skin

Oh yeah

Pardon me just left a message to the city

Words stuck between my teeth so gritty

Pay him for each minute I'm seething

A Black girl mixed with a little bit of Sacagawea

I pocket subpoenas I swallow my pride and my ego

I wear my flaws on my sleeve

And my skin like a peacoat

I see someone like me ashamed to be

And honestly I'm really really

I'm fed up wit' it try to send

It up like a FedEx

I'm wondering what they sayin' next

Can't pretend to not hear it

It's your beauty they can't have it

It's yours they can't have it

I'm done with the struggle I wanna

I just wanna enjoy my life now

And maybe appreciate my skin

My skin my skin my skin

Yeah yeah yeah

I woke up in this I woke up in this

In my skin my skin my skin

I can't wash it away

I can't wash it away

So you can't take it from me

You can't take it from me

My brown skin

My brown skin

My brown skin

Oh I can't wash it away

No you can't take it from me

My skin your skin yeah

Oh I can't wash it away

No you can't take it from me

Ooh my skin ooh my skin yeah

This is something I was born wit' you know

You can't buy this at a store so hey
