What Makes Us Beautiful
[Verse 1]
When I was only sixteen, the age of insecurity
I remember my mom say, "Son, it's okay to be unique"
I'll admit I'm kind of strange, I don't enjoy a lot of things
Like Michael Scott or Rachel Green, but that's okay, 'cause that's just me

[Pre-Chorus]
After all, it's borin' tryna fit into the crowd when they're all tryna fit the norm
I'd rather be extraordinary 'cause the ordinary ain't no fun at all
No point in bein' someone else when you're the only you (Bum-bum-bum)

[Chorus]
Don't ever change yourself to fit somebody else's mold, mm-mm-mm
We're not the same
And that's what makes us all, that's what makes us all so beautiful

[Verse 2]
I remember my dad said to me, "Son, haters don't ever leave
But when you don't care what they think is when you will be really free"
So I don't mind what people say, 'cause I don't want to lose my way
Chasin' what God didn't pave, diggin' someone else's grave

[Pre-Chorus]
After all, it's boring tryna fit into the crowd when they're all tryna fit the norm
I'd rather be extraordinary 'cause the ordinary ain't no fun at all
No point in bein' someone else when you're the only you
[Chorus]
Don't ever change yourself to fit somebody else's mold, oh, oh-oh-oh-oh
We're not the same, no, no, no, no, no
And that's what makes us all, that's what makes us all so beautiful

[Bridge]
Love who you are
We're all God's child, but they don't determine who we are
What's in the heart
That's what makes us all, that's makes us all so beautiful

[Chorus]
Don't ever change yourself to fit somebody else's mold (Ooh-ooh-ooh)
We're not the same
And that's what makes us all, that's what makes us all so beautiful

[Outro]
(Ayy!)
