[Verse 1: Ari Lennox] I don't wanna be strong for you today I'm leanin' towards the light Listenin' for instruction from the spirit guides As the sun hits my face, it welcomes me To go down the strong narrative That's been holdin' me for a while [Chorus: Ari Lennox] Why can't I just be every part of me? Of me Why can't I just be every part of me? Don't wanna be strong today [Verse 2: Ari Lennox] I looked at my skin Started wondering When it would not be a factor in this world I live in If I say I love myself, you say it's revolutionary I decided it's good for my health To drop that heaviness upon me Oh, why? [Chorus: Ari Lennox] Why can't I just be (Just be), еvery part of me? (Every part) Of mе (Of me) Why can't I just be every part of me? Don't wanna be strong today [Outro: Ari Lennox] Ooh I don't wanna eye my joy for him No, don't call me strong
