Disconnected Video (MV)

She's disconnected
Disconnected
Disconnected
Disconnected

Look at her, look at her
She's too busy trying to be cute
Instead of recognizing her true beauty

That ooh beauty
That inside you beauty
Somewhere along the line she forgot it's natural
And it comes from the inside

Or no one told her of her inner glow
Either way it goes she doesn't remember
It was handed down on a silver platter for generations
And she's grown impatient

Grown impatient with all awaiting
Grown impatient with what she saw in the mirror
And it became crystal clear in her clouded mind
She was the ugly duckling

She would never believe that she was already a swan
Not the way she was picked on and picked over
Over and over
Picked past

Picked past, picked last
Never once could she see that she was fine
For what's in her mind and on it
Not because of her body and who wants it

Conjuring up crazy notions
Like she needs pastes and potions
To hide the stress lines in her flesh
She's in a medley of little dreams

Stuck between beauty queen and hot mess
Spending check after check after check
Only to watch her pores collect deposits
Her outer beauty could never accrue

Self esteem replaced with anger
And it's starting to stew
How does this make her boss
She's feeling flawed and rejected

Disconnected
Disconnected
She's Disconnected
She's Disrespected

Amnesia forgot how beautiful she was
Now, the outer beauty is what defines her
So you'll find her in the nearest shopping mall
Straight down to the drawers and brand names

But it won't mend her broken confidence
For all the times she was shamed
Shamed for believing she was too black
Too pale

Too fat
Too frail
Simply ugly
And that made her forget she was beautiful

That drives her to want to need and desire to be
Cute all the time
Even if it breaks the bank, takes her last dime
Or corrupts her soul, pollutes her mind

It seems top dollar she's determined to pay to stay
