It's been a long time
Yeah, since I looked in a mirror
and liked what I see
It was a hard climb
Yeah, things are much clearer
in my reality and how people see me, yeah
Always feeling ashamed,Hey, because of what I was told
Now I'm taking the ugly, and made it beautiful, yeah
I found me a place
where I ain't doin' nothin'
but lovin' myself, and everything about me, yeah
Said I found me a place
and it don't even matter
what nobody else thinks, 'cause I'm lovin' me, yeah
It's been a long time
since I sang on a song
They said my voice was right, but my curves were all wrong
It's such a hard time
when the media chooses
who wins or who loses, but I gotta fix what your illusions
Oh, no, no longer feelin' the pain
I'm more than good enough
Gave my power away
But now I back and stronger
I found me a place, where I ain't doin' nothin', but lovin' myself, and everything about me, yeah
I found me a place, and it don't even matter, what nobody else thinks, 'cause I'm lovin' me, yeah
If I'm not a size 2, it don't fit you, it's okay,
I refuse to be dismissed because my skin is darker than yours,
all that power when say "You're pretty in the face", if only I could lose some weight,
anything you can do, I can do better,
made up my mind, won't stop never
I found me a place, where I ain't doin' nothin', but lovin' myself, and everything about me, yeah
I found me a place, and it don't even matter, what nobody else thinks, 'cause I'm lovin' me, yeah
Let me see you put your hands in the air if you love yourself
