Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Your life
Things may not always go right for you
In those times
Just leave it behind
'Cause sometimes you gotta play the game
Just to survive
Without losing yourself
It's a fight, it's true
It takes time
Don't have all the answers
No matter how hard it gets
Hold on to what's inside
[Verse 2]
Don't never let nobody break you down, girl
Don't never let nobody tear your world apart
Look in the mirror and see who you are
Beautiful U R
[Verse 3]
In the dark
The pain chips away at your heart
So deep
Can't you see
See the light in the distance?
Open up your eyes, look to the sky
And believe
There's much more to life when you're free
That's the key and in time
You will find all the answers
Don't have to lose your pride
Hold on to what's inside
[Verse 4]
Don't never let nobody break you down, girl
Don't never let nobody tear your world apart
Look in the mirror and see who you are
Beautiful U R
[Verse 5]
Don't never let nobody break you down, girl
Don't never let nobody tear your world apart
Look in the mirror and see who you are
Beautiful U R
[Verse 6]
Don't care what they say anymore
There's no time to be insecure
I leavin' it all at the door
[Verse 7]
She's staring me in the face
She's taking it day by day
I'm finally on my way
[Verse 8]
Don't never let nobody break you down, girl
Don't never let nobody tear your world apart
Look in the mirror and see who you are
Beautiful U R
[Verse 9]
Don't never let nobody break you down, girl
Don't never let nobody tear your world apart
Look in the mirror and see who you are
Beautiful U R
[Verse 10]
Beautiful U R
Beautiful U R
Beautiful U R
Beautiful U R...
