Ari Lennox - The Way You Is (Accept Your Pretty Big Nostrils Song) lyrics

You are fine just the way you is
Ignore the haters, just live all you want

Mood fiest, born in DC
And then my family bought a house in the MD
And then my dog got hung by the neighbor
We packed our bags and we moved to Chantilly
I was the (Outcast) always been an outcast
'Cause some big nostrils so
I always got asked (Ari)
"Why your nose look like two tunnels?" (Ari)
"Why your nose look like two tunnels?"
(Ha ha hahahaha)

Your mama tells you that you're pretty
But it don't matter cause your
School calls you ugly
And you try to cover all of
The pain that you're living inside-ide-ide
You change your look to impress them
But they still go behind your
Back and they make fun
But unless you're being you
You'll never be satisfied-ied-ied

Push them haters to
The side-side-side-side-side-side-side-side-side-side-side-side
Said pretty mama keep
Yo light-light-light-light-light-light-light-light-light-light-light-light

Said at my school I felt
Like the only black one
(Bl-bl-bl-bl-bl-black one)
And I give anything to trade my
Face for a white one
(Wh-wh-wh -wh-wh-white one)
Said insecurities became my every outcome
(Outcome)
And not too long after we moved to Aspen
Said no friends and the jokes never ended
(Ended)
So my impatience always got me suspended
(Suspended)
I was the black chick everyone was scared of
And to hide my shame I kicked on some makeup
Said bras with lots of tissue
But was an issue (Hey)

Your mama tells you that you're pretty
But it don't matter cause your
School calls you ugly
And you try to cover all of
The pain that you're living inside-ide-ide
You change your look to impress them
But they still go behind your
Back and they make fun
But unless you're being you
You'll never be satisfied-ied-ied

Push them haters to
The side-side-side-side-side-side-side-side-side-side-side-side
Said pretty mama keep
Yo light-light-light-light-light-light-light-light-light-light-light-light

You are fine just the way you is
Ignore the haters, live how you wanna live
Most of the time they hatin'
'cause they are mad (I said they mad)
They sit and wish they owned
The confidence that you had

Your mama tells you that you're pretty
But it don't matter cause your
School calls you ugly
And you try to cover all of
The pain that you're living inside-ide-ide
You change your look to impress them
But they still go behind your
Back and they make fun
But unless you're being you
You'll never be satisfied-ied-ied

You're fine you're the fine
You're fine just-just the way you is
You're fine you're the fine
You're fine just-just the way you is
You're fine you're fine
You're fine just-just the way you is
You're fine you're the fine
You're fine just-just the way you is
You're fine you're the fine
You're fine just-just the way you is
You're (Fine)
