Inspired by Maya Angelous

- phenomenal women


A girl is asked, how she is so lovely

she denies it, and says nah i aint lovely

I aint no girl in the fashion magazines

nah, maw, nay


It's how I walk, like i'll hop

I pretend I'm flying

I pretend I'm skipping

I play my favorite tune to give some hope

It's moving the hips

side

to

side


Naw, no, nay

I aint lovely

No, not at all

It's the smile, to carry sunshine

Inside my pocket, here you go

It's the eyes, how they see

Expecting to see the beauty in

every

darn

thing


Naw, no, nay

I ain't lovely

no, not at all


It's the good mornings that send you to cloud 5

It's the shine in a smile

and The joy, carried in a pocket


Can't you, cant you see me?

It's the wave of a hand

The hope in ones eyes

the patience, the patience carried with me.


not the face

not the looks

naw, no, nay

the lovely

the lovely is within, see


it's within us.
