As I woke up this mornin' and I looked in the mirror
The message that I saw couldn't get any clearer (no-oo!)
The one conclusion of what defines me
Is everything I am is a great thing to be
Well, it's all we are
See, it's everything
We got the rhythm, got the music in us
Never really mattered what breed we are
We're little, we're brown, we're different
Here's a little bit about acceptance
Ain't out, it's in
You know, I heard that people who judge you don't matter
And so I feel like those who love you won't chatter
Long as I know you take me for me
'Cause everything I am is a great thing to be
Anyone look a thing like me
But, still, I'm never shy,
Because I know it's all about what's up inside
We got the rhythm, got the music in us
Never really mattered what breed we are
We're little, we're brown, we're different
And here's a little bit about acceptance
Ain't out, it's in
This is the moment of truth
I give it all that I've got with no additional proof
I put my cards on the table and deal
In other words only worry about what's real
'Cause people say this
But I've been bein' Chris ever since way back
And maybe if you focus you can get like me
'Cause everythin' you are is a great thing to be
Ain't out, it's in
