Bright

Little girl, watching her reflection
 
 As she parts her curls into 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 head"
 But baby girl don't be misled
 Yeah, yeah
 Young woman reading magazines
 Thinking 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 girl if you love yourself you can
 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 a sun should always stay bright
 ♪
 Little boy, sitting in the bleachers
 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
 ♪
 Young man, always at the center
 Finding ways to make his arms look bigger
 Saying, "You see those guys? They get all the girls"
 "I just want to be like them"
 But baby boy, you're spreading yourself thin
 'Cause 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
 'Cause a man like a sun should always stay bright
 
 Yes, you are like the sun so always stay bright
