I Am Pretty
Empowered Beauty: Unveiling Strength and Liberation in 'I Am Pretty'
Lyrics
She woke up one Sunday morning
Reflecting the start of a new day.
She said a prayer and asked for strength
Seeking strength through prayer.
She put her makeup on just perfect
Applying makeup with care and precision.
For the first time in a long time
Feeling a positive change after a long time.
The mirror showed her grace
Seeing beauty and grace in the mirror.
She heard him stirring in the kitchen
Aware of someone else in the house.
Last night's whiskey in the air
Sensing the lingering scent of last night's whiskey.
She could hear him carryin' on and cussin'
Hearing negative behavior and profanity.
Then the woman in the mirror said
The reflection advises leaving the toxic situation.
You gotta get outta here
Encouraging departure due to repeated mistreatment.
'Cause you've been broken down and kicked around
Expressing resilience after enduring hardships.
One too many times
Reaching a breaking point from mistreatment.
You finally found the strength
Finding inner strength to resist further harm.
And he ain't gonna break my faith
Declaring determination not to lose faith.
She said I might go back to school
Considering going back to school.
I know you take me for a fool
Aware of others underestimating intelligence.
Despite what you say
Despite criticism, realizing a profound truth.
Something occured to me today
Having a revelation or realization today.
Guess what, I am pretty
Affirming self-worth and beauty.
He took a drag off his cigarette
Observing a condescending attitude with a cigarette.
That patronizing look on his face
Noting a dismissive look from the other person.
And he said 'Ah, Here we go again
Anticipating a familiar scenario of leaving.
Got that little suitcase in your hand
Commenting on the suitcase, assuming dreams are pursued.
Let me guess, you're gonna find your dreams today'
Sarcastically predicting the pursuit of dreams.
And she said, you know, I just might but either way
Expressing a determination to leave, regardless of dreams.
I'm gonna get out, I'm gonna get out of this
Committing to escape a difficult situation.
God-forsaken place
Desiring to leave a challenging environment.
'Cause you've been broken down and kicked around
Reiterating resilience after mistreatment.
One too many times
Acknowledging past mistreatment.
You finally found the strength
Emphasizing inner strength against further harm.
And he ain't gonna break my faith
Reaffirming faith and determination.
She said I might go back to school
Considering returning to education.
I know you take me for a fool
Recognizing perceptions of being naive.
Despite what you say
Acknowledging criticism but staying true to self.
Something occured to me today
Reflecting on a significant realization today.
'Cause I've been broken down and kicked around
Reiterating resilience against mistreatment.
One too many times
Acknowledging the impact of past mistreatment.
Despite what you say
Despite criticism, staying true to self.
Something occured to me today
Reflecting on a profound realization today.
I am pretty
Affirming self-worth and beauty.
I am pretty
Reiterating self-affirmation.
I am pretty
Emphasizing self-worth through repetition.
