India. Aire Lyrics

Sometimes I shave my legs and sometimes I don't
My actions are not dictated by societal expectations of how a woman should present herself, but rather by my own personal choice.

Sometimes I comb my hair and sometimes I won't, Depend of how the wind blows I might even paint my toes It really just depends on whatever feels good in my soul
I live my life based on the choices that feel right for me in the moment, even if they go against societal norms.

I'm not the average girl from your video, And I ain't built like a supermodel, But I learned to love myself unconditionally, Because I am a queen
I do not conform to the unrealistic standards of beauty set by the media and society, but instead embrace my own unique and beautiful qualities.

My worth is not determined by the price of my clothes, No matter what I'm wearing I will always be, India.Arie
I am more than the material possessions I own or the clothes I wear, and my true value lies within myself as a person.

When I look in the mirror and the only one there is me, Every freckle on my face is where it's suppose to be, And I know my creator didn't make no mistakes on me, My feet, my thighs, my lips, my eyes, I'm loving what I see
I am comfortable and happy with who I am, flaws and all, because I know I was created perfectly as I am.

Am I less of a lady if I don't wear panty hose, My momma said a lady ain't what she wears but what she knowsâ?¦, But I've drawn the conclusion, it's all an illusion, Confusion's the name of the game, A misconception, a mass deception, Something gotta change
Society's expectations of femininity are flawed and lead to confusion about what it means to be a woman, and it's time for a change in how we approach gender norms.

Now don't be offended this is all my opinion, Ain't nothing that I'm saying law, This is a true confession, Of a life learned lesson, I was sent here to share with y'all, So get in when you fit in, Go on and shine, Clear your mind, Now's the time, Put your salt on the shelf, Go on and love yourself, Cause everything's gonna be alright
I share my message with others not to offend, but rather to inspire and empower them to embrace their own unique qualities and shine in their own way, because peace and happiness come from within.

Keep your fancy drink, and your expensive minks, I don't need that to have a good time, Keep your expensive cars and your caviar, All I need is my guitar
Material possessions do not bring true happiness, and I find joy and contentment in the simple things like music and self-expression.

Keep your crystal and your pistol, I'd rather have a pretty piece of crystal, Don't need you silicone, I prefer my own, What god gave me is just fine
I reject the idea that material possessions or physical alterations make someone more valuable or beautiful, and instead celebrate and love the unique qualities and features that make me who I am.
