I Ain't Movin'

And loving self can be so hard, honesty can be demanding
Time's much too short to be livin', somebody else's life

Then why am I faced with so much anger, so my pain?
A wise man is clever, seldom ever speaks a word
I will be your remedy, I will be your tree
I ain't movin' from my love, my peaceful dove, means too much to me
Learn to love yourself it's a great, great feeling
'Cause I ain't moving from my face, from my race, from my history

I walk with dignity, I step with pride

And loving self can be so hard, honesty can be demanding
I walk with dignity, I step with pride
Eyebrows are always older than the beards
I ain't movin' from my love, my peaceful dove, means too much to me

'Cause I ain't moving from my face, from my race, from my history
Future voices need to be heard

I ain't movin' from my love, my peaceful dove, means too much to me
Time's much too short to be livin', somebody else's life
'Cause I ain't moving from my face, from my race, from my history
Learn to love yourself it's a great, great feeling
And loving self can be so hard, honesty can be demanding
And loving self can be so hard, honesty can be demanding
I ain't movin', got my feet on the ground, hey

Time's too lonely, too lonely without words
Why should I hide? Why should I be ashamed?
'Cause I ain't movin', I've been here long before

When you're down baby, I will set you free
I ain't movin' from my love, my peaceful dove, means too much to me
'Cause I ain't moving from my face, from my race, from my history
Momma said be brave, you've nothing to fear and I, ooh
I ain't movin' 'cause I want more
Time's much too short to be livin', somebody else's life
If we learn to love ourself we'll have great, great feeling
A foolish man keeps talking, never is he heard, no no no no

Learn to love yourself it's a great, great feeling
I walk with dignity, I step with pride
