Mandisa Bardill - The Definition Of Me lyrics

rate me

Everybody's got an opinion

Of what they want me to be

Everybody's got a condition

That I may never meet

So tired of looking in the mirror

It always says the same thing

I want to be about something different

Something more than the mirror can see

Like joy, peace

Alive in me

When it comes to my identity

Chorus:

I want the love

I want the light

I want the beauty

On the inside

I want the one that you can't see

To be the definition of me

More than the face

More than the girl

More than the voice

More than the world

I want the truth that I believe

To be the definition of me

Pretty is cool for a minute

But it always fades away

Trends are hot for a second

They'll be gone the very next day

So before you get lost in the moment

Let’s get one thing clear

Only love will last forever

That's the reason that we're here

It's up to you ‘cause everybody's looking

Who do you want them to see?

Chorus

They say I’m cute with the boots

And the trendy attire

You kinda reminiscent of a younger Mariah

But do they see beyond what I got, what I rock

They’d be shocked if they knew it was my soul that was hot

Hot boys don’t affect my own self respect (no!)

And neither do the magazines and vanity tests

Yo Disa, make a list

Who’s fly and what’s next

Start it off with love, joy, peace, and end it with blessed

Muah!

Chorus
