The Way You Is (Accept Your Pretty Big Nostrils Song)

(album: Five Finger Discount - 2011)

You are fine just the way you is
Ignore the hate, just live all you want

Mood fiest, born in D.C
And then my family bought a house in the M.D
After McDough got hung by the neighbor
We packed our bags and we moved to shine 'till we
I was the (Outcast)
Always been an outcast
I got some big nostrils so I always got axed (Ari)
"Why your nose look like two tunnels?" (Ari)
"Why your nose look like two tunnels?" (Hahahahahaha)

Your mama tells you that you're pretty
But it don't matter cause your school calls you ugly
And you try to cover all of the pain that you're living inside-ide-ide
You change your look to impress them
But they still go behind your back and they make fun
But unless you're being you, you'll never be satisfied-ied-ied

Push them haters to the side-side-side-side-side-side-side-side-side-side-side-side
Said pretty mama keep yo light-light-light-light-light-light-light-light-light-light-light-light

Said at my school I felt like the only black one (Bl-bl-bl-bl-bl-black one)
And I give anything to trade my face for a white one (Wh-wh-wh--wh-wh-white one)
Said insecurities became my every outcome (Outcome)
And not too long after we moved to Ashburns
And no friends and the jokes never ended (Ended)
So my impatience always got me suspended (Suspended)
I was the black chick everyone was scared of
And to hide my shame I kicked on some makeup
Set bronzer, lashes tissue, put a mask so was an issue (Hey)

Your mama tells you that you're pretty
But it don't matter cause your school calls you ugly
And you try to cover all of the pain that you're living inside-ide-ide
You change your look to impress them
But they still go behind your back and they make fun
But unless you're being you, you'll never be satisfied-ied-ied

Push them haters to the side-side-side-side-side-side-side-side-side-side-side-side
Said pretty mama keep yo light-light-light-light-light-light-light-light-light-light-light-light

You are fine just the way you is
Ignore the haters, live how you wanna live
Most of the time they hating 'cause they are mad (I said they mad)
They sit and wish they had the confidence that you earned

Your mama tells you that you're pretty
But it don't matter cause your school calls you ugly
And you try to cover all of the pain that you're living inside-ide-ide
You change your look to impress them
But they still go behind your back and they make fun
But unless you're being you, you'll never be satisfied-ied-ied

You're fine
You're the fine
You're fine
Just-just the way you is
You're fine
You're the fine
You're fine
Just-just the way you is
You're fine
You're fine
You're fine
Just-just the way you is
You're fine
You're the fine
You're fine
Just-just the way you is
You're fine
You're the fine
You're fine
Just-just the way you is
You're
(Fine)
