Bright

[00:11.50] Little girl, watching her reflection
[00:20.61] As she parts her curls into four sections
[00:27.42] She says, I don't look like them, I don't look like her
[00:33.32] And I don't want what's on my head
[00:38.27] But baby girl, don't be mislead
[00:46.50] Yeah, yeah
[00:49.35] Young woman reading magazines
[00:58.45] Thinking to herself, nobody looks like me
[01:04.88] Oh, I've got all these curves, all this nerve
[01:11.15] Why can't I keep a man?
[01:16.34] But baby girl, if you love yourself you can
[01:25.03] Can't nobody love somebody that do not love themselves
[01:35.97] You are what you choose to be
[01:40.18] It's not up to no one else
[01:43.97] So be great, be kind
[01:49.97] Don't let them dim your light
[01:54.21] A woman, like a sun should always stay bright
[02:06.13] Little boy sitting in the bleachers (ha)
[02:15.24] Staring at, at his dirty sneakers
[02:22.13] Thinking my shoes don't shine
[02:26.20] Money is tight, I would never get a date
[02:33.08] But baby boy, that's not what it takes (ooh)
[02:43.03] Young man, always at the center
[02:54.19] Finding ways to make his arms look bigger
[03:00.64] Saying, you see those guys?
[03:04.44] They get all the girls, I just want to be like them
[03:11.37] But baby boy, you're spreading yourself thin
[03:19.26] 'Cause can't nobody love somebody that do not love themselves
[03:31.00] You are what you choose to be
[03:34.67] It's not up to no one else
[03:39.06] So be great, be kind
[03:44.25] Don't let them dim your light
[03:48.89] 'Cause a man, like a sun should always stay bright (ooh)
[03:59.00] Yes, you are like the sun so always stay bright
