 [CHORUS]
  Dm               F
 Work your thing out
                 C
 Work your thing out

 Work your thing out

 Work your thing out
 
 [VERSE ONE]
                   Dm                     F
 There's so many girls I hear you been running
                                              C
 From the beautiful queen that you could be becoming
                      Dm                      F
 You can look at my palm and see the storm coming
                                             C
 Read the book of my life and see I've overcome it

 (I don't want the drama, get lost)
                   Dm                        F
 Just because the length of your hair ain't long
                                             C
 And they often criticize you for your skin tone
                      Dm                           F 
 Wanna hold your head high 'cause you're a pretty woman
                                      C 
 Get your runway stride on and keep going
  C
 Girl, live your life
 
 [PRE-CHORUS]
   Dm        F
 I just wanna be myself (Yeah yeah)
                         C
 Don't sweat, girl, be yourself
                  Dm
 Follow me, follow me, follow me
   F
 Girl, be yourself
                     C 
 That's why I be myself
                     Dm
 And I grew to love it

 Would never happen but God has put His hands on me
                                           C 
 And ain't a man alive could ever take it from me

                      Dm               F 
 Working with what I got, I gotta keep on (Keep on)
                                    C
 Taking care of myself I wanna live long (Live long)
                 Dm                  F 
 Ain't never ashamed what life did to me
                                               C
 Wasn't afraid to change 'cause it was good for me
  C
