Lyrics:
[00:05.55] Work your thing out, out, out
[00:08.05] Work your thing out, out, out
[00:10.60] Work your thing out, out, out
[00:13.36] Work your thing out, out, out
[00:14.80] There's so many of you girls, I hear you been runnin'*
[00:17.49] From the beautiful queen that you can be becomin'
[00:20.06] You can look in my palm and see the storm comin'
[00:22.68] Read the book of my life and see I've overcome it
[00:25.17] Just because the length of your hair ain't long
[00:27.82] And they often criticize you for your skin tone
[00:30.33] Go on and hold your head high, 'cause you a pretty woman
[00:32.97] Get your runway stride honed and keep it goin'
[00:35.46] Girl, live your life
[00:36.74] I just wanna be myself
[00:38.66] Don't sweat girl, be yourself
[00:40.52] Follow me, follow me, follow me, girl be yourself
[00:43.86] That's why I be myself and I grew to love it
[00:46.98] Let 'em get mad
[00:48.57] They gon' hate anyway, don't you get that?
[00:51.05] Doesn't matter if you go along with their plan
[00:53.23] They'll never be happy, 'cause they're not happy with themselves

[01:24.45] And ain't a man alive could ever take it from me
