Skin Deep

What up
What up
I know right, listen

What you staring in the mirror for?
Telling yourself you ugly
What you wearing those high heels for?
When they're torturing your feet (you know they're killing you)
Why you putting all that make-up on?
Hiding your pretty face (uh uh)
Blowing all your money in that salon
Trying' to find your place (no)

In this world you fit in
Or you're out and you're made to believe that this is what it's all about
And don't you know real beauty shines from within
It's what you wearing under your skin
Your perfect imperfections led you in the wrong direction
And made you think that you are incomplete
But looks are only skin deep, oh, oh yeah yeah

Why you flippin through the magazines?
Trying to be those girls (well stop it)
Gettin' all frustrated
But it's not the end of the world (it's superficial)
So what if you can't get into a size three?
You're beautiful to me (beautiful to me)
Stop trying to be Tyra's top model
Girl go and find your own way to follow

In this world you fit in or you're out and you're made to believe
That this is what it's all about
And don't you know real beauty shines from within
It's what you wearing under your skin
Your perfect imperfections led you in the wrong direction
And made you think that you are incomplete
But looks are all your skin deep

From the side walk to the board walk to the cat walk
Don't talk about the way you walk
But it's not your fault
So if the girls talk, watch you like a hawk
They love to hate and they can't wait to get inside and make you cry (cry, cry, cry, cry)
Just let 'em know that you made you own
Now being you is not all wrong
Do your thing, let your light shine
They'll come around in God's time
And if they don't, just let it be
When they stop being shallow then they'll see
Girl, I'm telling you (come on!)
Just be yourself

In this world you fit in or you're out and you're made to believe yeah
That this is what it's all about
And don't you know real beauty shines from within?
It's what you wearing under your skin
Your perfect imperfections led you in the wrong direction
And made you think that you are incomplete
But looks are only skin deep
Oh Oh
Yeah
