Skin

Never used to be

Anyone like me

Up in the mainstream

That made me see

That kind of beauty

Is only skin deep

Never had a crayon

Represent me

And my colourful history

What I’m made of

My quality

Is a specialty

I tried you on for a bit

But you just wouldn’t fit

'Cos it feels good, feels good, feels good

In my own skin

Feels good, feels good, feels good

In my own skin

Where my story begins

How I’m shining within

'Cos it feels good, feels good, feels good

All the names

We’ve been called (is nothing)

Compared to the wars we’ve fought

From the flames

We have forged

Thicker skin, strength and more

I couldn’t be prouder

So I will sing louder

'Cos it feels good, feels good, feels good

In my own skin

Feels good, feels good, feels good

In my own skin

Where my story begins

How I’m shining within

'Cos it feels good, feels good, feels good

Peel away the labels

For the real me

Let everyone see

That it feels good, feels good, feels good

Feels good, feels good, feels good

Feels good, feels good, feels good

'Cos it feels good, feels good, feels good

In my own skin
