I'm a Ten

Look up in the sky do you see the stars twinkling
Yep that's also in my eyes no surprise
That I see myself only as a prized... possession
You can look but only at your discretion (hah)
It's a blessing that I've come so far with self esteem
It was always so low getting higher was a dream
But I believed I could and I did (yep)
And anybody who was doubting me, you was really sleeping on the kid
Had to let em dream hoping that they had a nightmare (boo)
But beware when I pop out I'm not just hear to scare
I'm just here to show you everything that you thought wasn't there
In the air poof gone (gone) your chance is so gone (gone)
I'm like a grey hair you always stare
When I was at the bottom you weren't there (nope)
Now I'm sitting on my high horse, you can't compare
And if you're beautiful and know it hands up (lets go)

Man, I'm a ten and I show it (show it)
I don't need no man to tell me cause I know it (know it)
They be trying shoot their shot and try and throw it (throw it)
Once chance left ten seconds don't blow it (don't blow it)
Yeah man I'm a ten and I know it (know it)
I think every woman is beautiful and heroic (we are)
Plant a seed inside our head and we can grow it
If you know you a ten and not below it put your hands up

A queen is a queen and she shines through the night
Pick your head up queens your presence is a delight
Be happy rarely frown your smile is upside down
Turn around take them bad thoughts and throw em on the ground
Gold is your color man twirl girl twirl
You got the best of both worlds you a ice cream swirl
Don't let nobody tell you that you're not all that (don't)
You aint a piece of the pie, you the whole damn pack
Man, I'm tired of all these people tryin tell me that I'm cray
When I stand in front of them and I say what I say
That I'm beautiful and lit but there's more that's inside
And they try take me down
But they can't knock me off my high (you can't)
Can't nobody tell me that I'm typical
The typical person that you thought you saw was invisible
Invisible is how I felt now its subliminal
Subliminally I was becoming an individual

Man, I'm a ten and I show it (show it)
I don't need no man to tell me cause I know it (know it)
They be trying shoot their shot and try and throw it (throw it)
Once chance left ten seconds don't blow it (don't blow it)
Yeah man I'm a ten and I know it (know it)
I think every women is beautiful and heroic (we are)
Plant a seed inside out head and we can grow it
If you know you a ten and not below it put your hands up

Ladies
Time and time again we look at others for affirmation
We look at society to dictate whether we are worthy
And we often treat ourselves as less than
But I am here to tell you that you are gold
Smile in the mirror more
You are nothing shy of amazing and brilliant
And if anyone tries to tell you otherwise, say

Man, I'm a ten and I show it (show it)
I don't need no man to tell me cause I know it (know it)
They be trying shoot their shot and try and throw it (throw it)
Once chance left ten seconds don't blow it (don't blow it)
Yeah man I'm a ten and I know it (know it)
I think every women is beautiful and heroic (we are)
Plant a seed inside out head and we can grow it
If you know you a ten and not below it put your hands up
