Growing Pains

Work your thing out

Work your thing out

Work your thing out

Work your thing out



Theres so many-a girls

I hear you been running

From the beautiful queen

That you could be becoming

You can look at my palm

And see the storm coming

Read the book of my life

And see I've overcome it

Just because the length of your hair ain't long

And they often criticize you for your skin tone

Wanna hold your head high

Cause you're a pretty woman

Get your runway stride home

And keep going

Girl live ya life



I just wanna be myself

Don't sweat girl be yourself

Follow me

Follow me

Follow me

Girl be yourself

That's why I be myself

And I'm gonna love it



Let em get mad

They gonna hate anyway

Don't you get that?

Doesn't matter if you're going on with their plan

They'll never be happy

Cause they're not happy with themselves



Na na work what you got

I'm talking bout things that I know

Na na work what you got

It's okay show yourself some love

Na na work what you got

Don't worry bout who's saying what

It's gonna be fine

Work what you got



Feelin great because the light's on me

Celebrating the things that everyone told me

Would never happen but God has put his hands on me

And aint a man alive could ever take it from me

Working with what I got I gotta keep on

Taking care of myself I wanna live long

Aint never ashamed what life did to me



Wasn't afraid to change cause it was good for me

I wanna...



I just wanna be myself

Don't sweat girl be yourself

Follow me

Follow me

Follow me

Girl be yourself

That's why I be myself

And I'm gonna love it



Let em get mad

They gonna hate anyway

Don't you get that?

Doesn't matter if you're going on with their plan

They'll never be happy

Cause they're not happy with themselves



Na na work what you got

I'm talking bout things that I know

Na na work what you got

It's okay show yourself some love

Na na work what you got

Don't worry bout who's saying what

It's gonna be fine

Work what you got



Work that

Work that

Work that

Girl don't hold back

You just be yourself[3x]



Na na work what you got

I'm talking bout things that I know

Na na work what you got

It's okay show yourself some love

Na na work what you got

Don't worry bout who's saying what

It's gonna be fine

Work what you got

Girl don't hold back
