[Verse 1]
Little gurl, watchin her reflection'

As she parts hur curls in two four sections

She says, "I don't look like them, I don't look like her"
"And I don't want what's on my hed"

But baby girl don't be misled
(Ya, yaaaa)
Young woman

readin magazines

Thinkin to herself, nobody looks like me

Oh I've got all these curves, all this nerve
Why can't I keep a man?

But baby gurll if you love yourself you can

[Chorus 1]
Can't nobody love somebody
That do not love themselves

You are what you choose to be
It's not up to no one else

So be great

be kind

Don't let them dim your light

A woman like the sun should always stay bright (noouhhhh)

[Verse 2]
Little boy sitting in the bleachers

(hah)

Staring at, at his dirty sneakers

Thinking my shoes don't shine
Money is tight, I would never get a date

But baby boy that's not what it takes

(ooohhh)

Young man, always at the center

Finding ways to make his arms look bigger

Sayin

"You see those guys?"

"They get awhl the girls, I just want to be like them"
But baby boy, you're spreading yourself thin

[Chorus 2]
Cuz Can't nobody love somebody
That do not love themselves

Yew are what you choose to be

It's not up to no one else

So be great, be kind

Don't let them dim your light

'Cause a man like the sun should always stay bright
(ooohhhooo)

[Outro]
Yes, you are like the sun so always stay brite
