Fairy tales were told in my youth
Now seem so far from the truth
The spoon that fed me
Filled me with lies
And it led me further from myself
And it led me further from myself
And it led me further from myself
What is my identity
Is it my ethni-ni-nicity
Or what they think
Or what they think
Or what they think of me
I am not my hair
I am not my skin
I am not my roots
Or the body I live in
I am hot, sexy and smart
And I'mma keep it real
With a pure gold heart
I am strong, I am real
Please don't tell me how I feel
Please don't tell me how I feel
Please don't tell me how I feel
I am sick of this rivalry
Of this constant need to belittle-little me
I am not defined by what you think of me
Not, not defined by what you think of me
I am not my hair
I am not my skin
I am not my roots
Or the body I live in
I am not my hair
I am not my skin
I am not my roots
Or the body I live in
I am me, I am me, I am me, I am yeah
Hey Jo
Nada melhor do que conhecer meu caminho é
E colorir a vida com meu jeitinho
Me cuidar com carinho e dividir com você
Esse meu jeito todo todo extravagante te de ser
Porque se a praia me chama,
Eu não vou nadar na lama?
Vê se da pra entender e que te amo amo me amo
Mas me amo de volta e se dói eu reclamo
E pego a vida pela mão e me completo dançando
I am not my hair
I am not my skin
I am not my roots
Or the body I live in
I am not my hair
I am not my skin
I am not my roots
Or the body I live in
I am not my hair
I am not my skin
I am not my roots
Or the body I live in
I am me, I am me (I am not what you think of me)
I am me, I am ME!
