It's been a long time
Yeah, since I looked in a mirror
And liked what I see
It was a hard climb
Yeah, things are much clearer
In my reality and how people see me
Always feeling ashamed
Because of what I was told
Now I'm taking the ugly, and made it beautiful
I found me a place, where I ain't doin' nothin'
But lovin' myself, and everything about me
Said I found me a place, and it don't even matter
What nobody else thinks, cause I'm lovin' me
It's been a long time
Since I sang on a song
They said my voice was right, but my curves were all wrong
It's such a hard time
When the media chooses
Who wins or who loses, but I gotta fix what your illusions
Oh, no, no longer feelin' the pain
I'm more than good enough
Gave my power away, but now I back and stronger
If I'm not a size 2, it don't fit you, it's okay
I refuse to be dismissed because my skin is darker than yours
All that power when say "You're pretty in the face", if only I could lose some weight
Anything you can do, I can do better
Made up my mind, won't stop never
