Beautiful Songtext
von Gabriel Teodros

This is me
They say he′s so ugly
He couldn't be
No part of me
Damn
Now what if she
With her beauty
Saw it in me
No it couldn′t be
Damn


Now this is me
They say he's so ugly
He couldn't be
No part of me
Damn
Now what if she
With her beauty
Saw it in me
No it couldn′t be
Or can it


She worded it so perfect, my heart started hurting
For the moment she decides that I ain′t the same person
She met in my music
I'm used to losing em all
When you told me stand tall, I just started to fall
What started it all? we could go back
Growing up I was too light to be Black, short and hella fat
Didn′t have no friends and just grew to accept that
Spoke with an accent from a tongue that I never mastered
Cutting class, headphones blasting "Ghetto Bastard"
Way back then, when my best friend was Treach
Plus hella other rappers that I also never met
My medicine then and it never questioned what I look like
Just gave enough fuel for me to put up a good fight
I started writing, rocking mics, life got exciting
But I never got to heal from all that time that I'd been hiding
Until now and I′m still hiding, tryna fight any affection
Under layers of protection
Any smile in my direction gets ex-ed before it starts
And we can only be friends, said we can only be friends
You loving me has to end
I am just too poisonous
And you are just too beautiful for words
Why don't you tell me the truth
Too beautiful for words
Why don′t you tell me the truth

This is for the ones that want love but are scared to
Cuz all the love they ever knew came with abuse
Stay beautiful y'all
You don't deserve what they did
And I believe you and me we can change this ish

This is for the ones that want love but are scared to
Cuz all the love they ever knew came with abuse
Stay beautiful y′all
You don′t deserve what they did
And I believe you and me we can change this ish

My wings flame like Icarus
Sink like every relationship
Bridges burn, hearts break, all from staying ashamed
And hating my shell
Fear of not being accepted for being myself
By nobody else, a self-induced hell
Keep telling myself, don't feel weak
But game-peep
It ain′t weak to be vulnerable
That's like the deepest strength that I′ve ever seen
Sure as I ever dream
It's forcing me to trust she
Coming from love
We uncovered our scars buried
She could of crush what she nurtured
And what I thought I had murdered had new life
My new sights finding beauty inside this fool I ran from my whole life
Until I claimed this beauty with my own sight
I couldn′t walk with this warrior by my side
Even when our lifelines don't want to intertwine
I'll take the best in lessons as a blessing and invest em
For all my relations
Ain′t no magazine beauty in the world ever moved me
More then thick-hipped, chocolate skin and lips luscious
Winds move to touch us
We deep soul survivors
Redefining beauty with every breath
I′m a rider, no longer in denial

This is for the ones that want love but are scared to
Cuz all the love they ever knew came with abuse
Stay beautiful y'all
You don′t deserve what they did
And I believe you and me we can change this ish

This is for the ones that want love but are scared to
Cuz all the love they ever knew came with abuse
Stay beautiful y'all
You don′t deserve what they did
And I believe you and me we can change this ish

This is for the children
Beautiful and brilliant
Take your vision back from this wicked-ass system
Beautiful and brilliant
You are not a victim
Take your vision back from this wicked-ass system
Black, beautiful and brilliant
This is for the children
Take your vision back from this wicked-ass system
Young, beautiful and brilliant
You are not a victim
Take your vision back from this wicked-ass system
