"Ugly girl," they'd all say and laugh Little did they know that it'd break me in half A laughing stock I'd always  been Them failing to see the beauty within "Kali-kali" they'd all mock and  tease And I'd beg them to love me - please From my weight to complexion They'd bury me in thoughts of my own reflection Could see nothing but hatred And on my tender heart their voices had weighted I no longer like what I see Childhood had been a heavy fee Now that I've grown up I'm starting to fill my own cup through all the good and bad days I had only been with myself through various ways I want to thank me for that bravery To not succumb to the mind's slavery I hope you can do that too For you're one in a zillion, and we know that's true
