Cameron Dominique - Girl Like You

Don't be modest (Don't be modest)
Girl, you know you the hottest (Girl, you know you the hottest)
That I've ever layed eyes on, you make me the proudest (Oooo you make me proud)
As beautiful as a sunset, aye, your love warm like summer in June
I'm glad I had the eye cause I won't find another girl like you

Look, I dedicate this to my plus-size women
The ones with skin as soft as linen, that throw down in the kitchen
The ones who nurture failed ambition, you the real definition
Of a queen, straight outta dream, but I just need you to listen
See, you love hard, but you scarred, dare I call you drained
Weight of the world on ya shoulders, somehow you feel ashamed
If you complain, can't explain, or simply can't maintain
Ya hold on everyone's problems, but what about ya pain
The fact you look in the mirror and only see ya weight
Until ya face looks clearer, you keep the makeup caked
Until a man you consider can keep his promise to dinner
Or deliver, on something bigger, you questions if you're great
But keep the faith, concentrate, on ya self-love
The world gon' say you obese, undeserving of love
But girl I love you the way you are, that's why I fight for you
I write to you, in hopes that I inspire you

Don't be modest (Don't be modest)
Girl, you know you the hottest (Girl, you know you the hottest)
That I've ever layed eyes on, you make me the proudest (Oooo you make me proud)
As beautiful as a sunset, aye, your love warm like summer in June
I'm glad I had the eye cause I won't find another girl like you

Look, I dedicate this to my dark skin women
The ones with zero competition, and supreme intuition
Though you get zero recognition, you the real definition
Of a queen, straight outta dream, but I just need you to listen
See, you love hard, but you scarred, from being criticized
Yo sacrifices for others are never emphasized
They generalize and minimize, all the good you do
But magnify and analyze, the things you couldn't do
You dimmed yo light for a man, so he could shine brighter
While he got love and acclaim, you played the ghostwriter
You nurtured all he became, even picked up his last name
Loved him the same, and took the blame, for why y'all lost ya fire
But understand, no matter what you did, you weren't enough
You told him change or you'd leave, he dared to call yo bluff
Girl, so what, see that's his loss if he don't fight for you
I write to you, in hopes that I inspire you

Don't be modest (Don't be modest)
Girl, you know you the hottest (Girl, you know you the hottest)
That I've ever layed eyes on, you make me the proudest (Oooo you make me proud)
As beautiful as a sunset, aye, your love warm like summer in June
I'm glad I had the eye cause I won't find another girl like you
