Your Skin Songtext
von BEKA

Wrecked my trainers in the rain again
Mum′s gon' get mad again
She′s been working night shifts again
Said my trainers won't get me friends

Oh, and I can't remember
The last time I looked at my hair to think
"Girl, you′re pretty with your braids in"
I can′t keep up with them
And so I tie it up, pinch it in
I cover up my feelings
'Cause I′ll never fit in
I'm never gonna be them with those


Curves from Nigeria
Curves from the West Indies, yeah
You don′t need to fit in, no
You look great in your skin
Those jeans from your grandad
Brown eyes like your mum from Baghdad
You don't need to fit in, no
You look great in your skin

Got the lashes and the lips done
I′m tryna squat so I can be like them
What will it take so I can feel like them?
Hey, just asking for a friend

Oh, and I can't remember
The last time I looked at my face to think
"Girl, you're pretty, do your own thing"
I can′t keep up with them
And so I tie it up, pinch it in
I cover up my feelings
′Cause I'll never fit in
I′m never gonna be them with those


Curves from Nigeria
Curves from the West Indies, yeah
You don't need to fit in, no
You look great in your skin
Those jeans from your grandad
Brown eyes like your mum from Baghdad
You don′t need to fit in, no
You look great in your skin

Say, oh, I know you won't believe it
You′ll find a way to feel yourself
And it's cooler not to be them, yeah
I know you won't believe it
You′ll find a way to feel yourself
And it′s cooler not to be them, yeah

Curves from Nigeria
Curves from the West Indies, yeah
You don't need to fit in, no
You look great in your skin, oh
Those jeans from your grandad
Brown eyes like your mum from Baghdad
You don′t need to fit in, no
You look great in your skin
