Do you
Be you
It’s ok to be you

I shine so brilliant
there’s no concealing it
through verses I’m revealing it
not signed but I’m sealing it
real is what it really is
You’re feeling it I’m spilling it
wheeling and dealing it
love is where the healing is
That’s why I’m spreading it
Not forgetting it, it’s embedded in
My melanin even my skeleton
Love for self is breath my friend
More than just a fading trend
I love the skin I’m in
in the sun it’s glistening
as you are listening
Hope you’re envisioning
Brilliance deep within
If you’re asleep within,
this is the awakening
Open up and take this in
Barriers we break again
I’ll shake you up then shake your hand
This is where the hatred ends
No self-hatred here
over here of self-care
we are very much aware
even if I shed tears
and (I’m) forcefully fed fears
By love I’m led here
we keep a clear head here

Do you
Be you
It’s ok to be you

and it’s ok not to be ok
You’ll get through

Yeah it’s cool to be me
I was fooled to believe
That the tools to succeed
Weren't inclusive of me
But the clueless can’t see
That it’s foolish to speak
Like I’m stupid and weak
as I move through the streets
Now I move to the beat
and prove through my speech
that deep truth can reach
I’ve got deep roots in me
And the fruits on my tree
are juicy and sweet
It’s passion fruit I eat
I’m choosy you see
I choose carefully
though I’m so carefree
I do care deeply
for those who care for me
Popularity
Is overrated see
I don’t need you to like me
If you’re like me then it’s likely
That just being free
free to just be
Is what you seek
In a world that’s bleak
Spreading love and peace
Will be my legacy
So be you freely
I will always be me

Do you
Be you
It’s ok to be you

and it’s ok not to be ok
You’ll get through

Do you
Be you
It’s ok to be you
