Don't judge me because of my race,
Don't pull me down, I want to be ok,
I'm proud to be who I am and you can't say a thing.
No, no,
Don't judge me because of my skin,
It's heartache for everyone that been told that they're not beautiful.
What's beauty to you?
What's the standards in life?
It ain't a contest for us to win,
Cause losing's what's making us stronger.
Everyone's got an opinion of who I got to be.
Why?
Why must you care?
You didn't know me before but still you do care.
For what?
I can feel that there's a certain level to being excepted,
You've got to conform to society's beliefs and never doubt it,
Oh now you are silly,
Listening to the stereo that I've spoiled,
When are you going to have your own opinions?
We're all listening to the popular opinion from one single popular person,
Now look at the massive destruction caused.
I may have a peeled skin,
I may have a weird eye,
I may have a depressing smile,
But don't you see,
I'm trying my best to hide it,
But why?
I just want to be me.
Please,
I beg you,
Let me be me,
Let everyone be everyone.
I want to be safe with my skin and be proud of it.
'There's a hope that's waiting for you in the dark,
And you don't have to change a thing the world could change its heart,
There's no scars to our beautiful,
We're stars and we're beautiful.'
-Alessia Cara
(Scars To Your Beautiful)
Now you can find me where the wild things are,
And I know now,
I'm going to be alright.
