Who the artist is

Lyrics

I wanted to grow up to be somebody
Runnin? wild in my pigtails and blu jeans
Sittin high up in a tree inside my small town
I would dream...
I never understood the walls of color...no
I wasn?t very popular in school
All by myself I?d dance and get my groove on
Pretend...I...was...cool
Today I?m...

(chorus) I?m all about ordinary...I?m all about everyday
Try hard not to get discouraged
Workin it smooth, keepin my groove & I
Go the distance cause I really love ya
My feelings get hurt too...
I see myself as merely a reflection of you...who I am
That?s who I am

Gotta like myself when I wake up in the morning
And every day I try and face my fears (yes I do)
My life hasn?t always been so easy...if you count... my...tears
Sometimes I like to think of me as sexy
Open minded music brings me sweet release
And I thank God for Maurice & for J. Scott...Badu
They have brought me peace (chorus)

I am the kind of friend who?ll always be there
I?m a mother, sister, daughter, loving wife...
I?ve learned why it?s important to stay humble
And to listen more than I give advice...yeah (chorus)
