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 head 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 feelins
Cause I′ll never fit in
I'm never gonna be them
With those


(Oh oh oh)
Curls from Nigeria (oh, oh, oh)
Curves from the West Indies, yeah (oh, oh, oh)
You don′t need to fit in, no
You look great in your skin (oh, oh, oh)
Those genes from your grandad (oh, oh, oh)
Brown eyes like your mum from Baghdad (oh, oh, oh)
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 feelins
Cause I'll never fit in
I′m never gonna be them
With those


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

Said oh, I know you won′t believe it (oh, oh, oh)
You'll find a way to feel yourself (whoa, oh, oh)
And it′s cooler not to be them
Yeah (whoa, oh, oh)
I know you won't believe it (oh, oh, oh)
You′ll find a way to feel yourself (whoa, oh, oh)
And it's cooler not to be them
Yeah (oh, oh, oh)

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