That's it, baby, when you got it, flaunt it, flaunt it
This is the Divine Miss M and I'm here to share with you Some rare and stimulating insight into my cosmic fabulosity It's really very simple, I simply believe with all my heart
"Go away, little girl", they used to say "Hey, you're too fat, baby, you can't play Hold on, miss thing, what you tryin' to do? You know you're too wack to be in our school"
Too wack, too smart, too fast, too fine Too loud, too tough, too too divine I said, "You don't belong", I said, "You don't belong"
Too loud, too big, too much to bear Too bold, too brash, too prone to swear I heard that song for much too long
Ain't this my sun? Ain't this my moon? Ain't this my world to be who I choose? Ain't this my song? Ain't this my movie? Ain't this my world? I know I can do it
I'm not too short, I'm not too tall I'm not too big, I'm not too small Ooh, don't lemme start lovin' myself Ooh, don't lemme start lovin' myself
I'm not too white, I'm not too black I'm not too this, I'm not too that Ooh, don't lemme start lovin' myself Ooh, don't lemme start lovin' myself
It's time to call it what it is Don't play the naming game Become what you were born to be And be it unashamed
"Go away, little boy", I can hear them say "Everybody on the block says they think you're gay Hold on, my friend, do you think we're blind? Take a look at yourself, you're not our kind"
Too black, too white, too short, too tall Too big, too green, too red, too small I said, "You don't belong", I said, "You don't belong"
Too black, too white, too short, too tall Too blue, too green, too red, too small I heard that song for much to long
Ain't this my sun? Ain't this my moon? Ain't this my world to be who I choose? Ain't this my song? Ain't this my movie? Ain't this my world? I know I can do it
People always ask me, "Miss M How did you get so far on so little?" Shut up Well, I woke up one morning flossed my teeth and decided Damn, I'm fierce, you look good You can be just like me a Goddess? Yeah
Don't just pussy foot around and sit on your assets Unleash your ferocity upon an unsuspecting world Rise up and repeat after me, I'm beautiful
I'm beautiful, I'm beautiful, I'm beautiful Can you say that? I'm beautiful, I'm beautiful, I'm beautiful I don't hear you
That's it, baby, when you got it, flaunt it, flaunt it
Ain't this my sun? Ain't this my moon? Ain't this my world to be who I choose? Ain't this our sun? Ain't this our moon? Ain't this our world to be who we choose?
I'm not too short, I'm not too tall I'm not too big, I'm not too small Ooh, don't lemme start lovin' myself Ooh, don't lemme start lovin' myself
I'm not too white, I'm not too black I'm not too this, I'm not too that Ooh, don't lemme start lovin' myself Ooh, don't lemme start lovin' myself I'm beautiful, dammit
