[Verse I got my mothers skin I've got my father eyes It's something that I can't deny It's nothing that I wanna hide
And even though my roots come from the other side I didn't think they would mind Cause I heard that love was blind many can't understand When it comes to me and you Cause I don't fit their descriptions Tell me how to change traditions When there's of them and of me
[Chorus:] How can I change a million minds In this lifetime What is it I have to do If I my history what defines me If I let them change the truth Would I be Good Enough For You?
[Verse 2:] I wish they looked at me they could see beyond Everything think they think I am Cause pedigree don't make a man Don't have to dig too deep to see I'm just you What is it they want from me Tell me what more can I prove- Why So many can't understand, When it comes you and I Don't fit in their descriptions - though I try To change those old traditions When it's all them and one of me
(I could lie I could lie I could lie) Let them take all, I knew Would I be good enough for you
We pretend we have open minds Yet we judge fast Tell me why - to live out my future I must surrender my past
