Dm F Gm Am
[Chorus]
Dm F
Work your thing out
Gm
Work your thing out
Dm F
Work your thing out
Gm
Work your thing out
[Verse 1]
Dm F
There's so many girls I hear you been running
Gm Am
From the beautiful queen that you could be becoming
Dm F
You can look at my palm and see the storm coming
Gm
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
Gm Am
And they often criticize you for your skin tone
Dm F
Wanna hold your head high 'cause you're a pretty woman
Gm Am
Get your runway stride on and keep going
Girl, live your life
[Pre-Chorus]
Dm F
I just wanna be myself (Yeah yeah)
Gm Am
Don't sweat, girl, be yourself
Dm
Follow me, follow me, follow me
F
Girl, be yourself
Gm Am
That's why I be myself
And I grew to love it
[Chorus]
Dm
Work your thing out
F
(Let 'em get mad, they gonna hate anyway)
Gm
Work your thing out
Am
(Don't you get that?)
Dm
Work your thing out
F
(Doesn't matter if you're going on with their plan)
Gm
Work your thing out
(They'll never be happy
Am
'Cause they're not happy with themselves)
[Post-Chorus]
Dm F Gm
Yeah yeah, work what you got
Am
I'm talking 'bout things that I know
Dm F Gm
Yeah yeah, work what you got
Am
It's okay, show yourself some love
Dm F Gm
Yeah yeah, work what you got
Am
Don't worry 'bout who's saying what
Dm F Gm
It's gonna be fiiiine, work what you got
Am
Work what you got
[Verse 2]
Dm F
Feelin' great because the light's on me
Gm Am
Celebrating the things that everyone told me
Dm F
Would never happen but God has put His hands on me
Gm Am
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)
Gm Am
Taking care of myself I wanna live long (Live long)
Dm F
Ain't never ashamed what life did to me
Gm Am
Wasn't afraid to change 'cause it was good for me
I wanna...
[Pre-Chorus]
Dm F
I just wanna be myself (I just wanna be)

And I grew to love it
