INTRO: Nenebi (Jackie Morris)
STRAIGHT
Nothing but truth
(Yeah, yeah, yeah There is no other explanation)
[Chorus: Jackie Morris]
I'm beautiful
Damn beautiful
Beyond what your eyes can see
I am beautiful
Damn beautiful
And I know it, I know it
I am beautiful
Damn beautiful
There's no other explanation
I'm just beautiful
Oh ay
[VERSE 1: Nenebi]
As I pick up the baby from the cot as she cried for attention
My mind raced to this girl who seeks our attention
But don't get it because she is pretty and all guys want is her body
All guys think is, “she wants our money”
When in reality, even she thinks she wants our money
Because she thinks it can bring her comfort
So she opens her legs to fill her purse
Buy the things money can afford
Only to end up with nothing more but more boredom, nothing more
She hides her pain and hurt within and act more stuck up
And everybody hates her more, judging her wrong
Never caring how she got to that state
Not knowing she wasn't always that way
So never trying to get her to open her heart
She goes around fronting that she don't need love
She says she doesn't need anybody's attention
All she appears to care about is her purse, his purse, her P, his D
Boys call her Material Girl
Life is Life
No Explanation
She is beautiful though
Repeat Chorus
[VERSE 2: Nenebi]
Whether she's Madonna, Yvonne Nelson or the girl next door
She needs love and she struggles to get it
So she plays along to the hard rhythm of the world
Playing hard to get
All she gets are the hard things of the world
The cheddar, the j**els, the clothes and the rod
The soft things that matter in life elude her
She never gets them
So after every round of s**
Every trip to the mall
Every flow of the liquor
Every roll of the stick
Every high of the weed
She ends up emptier
Nothing she gets satisfies her
She leaves earth not understanding life

Lisa told me she wished guys notice her without noticing her fat a**
She said it makes guys think it's all she has to offer so she hates them
Bella told me all she ever wanted on her body was a little bit more a**
She thinks she will be just perfect if she had them
But I love them both for who they are
So insecure, they can't step out without makeup on
Get critical when anyone says anything about their bodies
See, you don't have to look like a Victoria's Secret model to be called beautiful
Because I believe you are beautiful with just Victoria's Secret on
Sometimes you might want to emphasize your beauty with a little bit more touch-up
But I think you are perfect with nothing on, yes, nothing on
Life is life
No explanation
Repeat Chorus
[VERSE 3: Nenebi]
Na Samini t)n kooko
Na ne maame nso t)n pito
Now he sells out shows
I used to walk through floods to post posters for him
Now I'm sharing stages with him
Living at the bottom, I heard life isn't fair
So I bought mine a bleaching cream
Now life takes it easy on me
M'abrab) colour at) so te s3 Dansoman broni
I'm living from glory to glory like a light-skinned girl addicted to bleaching
I'm B.I.G, Belief Invites Greatness
Trying to disvim me is like African leaders AU, absolutely useless
While yours was telling you to work hard and not sleep
My mum was telling me, I work too hard, I need to sleep
I kept telling myself, "keep dreaming and stay awake"
Since Maame told me she wanted to be married to the owner of C.K
Whenever I feel I am hitting it, Professor Kofi Amoah comes in mind
I guess Prof too can't go to bed when he thinks about Mo Ibrahim's wealth
Mo too wakes up every morning with his eyes on Donald Trump's towers
Don too can't resist the urge to get as rich as Bill Gates
Bill too is looking at owning the rest of the billions in the world he doesn't
The rest of the billions keep staring at the people who should have them, you and I
And the rest of the people have their eyes closed looking up to God
God too is watching helplessly to see them use what he has already given them
They never get wise enough to do so so live life broke
The broke life leaves them broken
The brokenness k**s them
Life is life
