Ay y'all wanna hear a story Yeah There once was a girl who had a lot of curls Always did see such a colorful world So sum'n ain't feel quite right when they said Blue is for boys and pink is for girls Church every Sunday Bible Study every Wednesday But one question had her head a whirl Why do the boys get to like the girls Tale as old as time Their story yours mine Histor- herstor- theirstory too If you wasn't the truth you wouldn't be true Divine that's what you are Nobody can deny the God within you Shining like the sun you making them look The magic up in you can never be took Icon that's what you are You're gonna go down in theirstory books Don't get me wrong she had her fun Choir stand been home since day one But traditional design contorted her to compliance So it seemed a whole lot easier to play her role Church home and school yard Her goodie two shoes were all she'd worn Until those occasions Them hips and them lips left her shoes undone Tale as old as time Their story yours mine Histor- herstor- theirstory too If you wasn't the truth you wouldn't be true Divine that's what you are Nobody can deny the God within you Shining like the sun you making them look The magic up in you can never be took Icon that's what you are You're gonna go down in theirstory books Up she'd grown tears turned to stone Behind that smile who would have known How quickly it made her sweat when they asked Have you found a husband yet No Out she came They Bible shamed But she saw her colors Fly again And knew that it didn't feel right when they said She What are they gonna say You know they're gonna disown you right Church gon' cast you out I just wanna be normal You're a disgrace What are they gonna say I don't want to come out again What are they gonna say
