Hey girl, c'mon, ooh wah
Hey girl, c'mon

Sittin' on the stoop watch the Limo go by
All the girls are corny but the guys are mad fly
And you feelin' kind of lonely so your head you hide
Turn on the radio, it kills ya as you die inside

Now don't wig out that you got no date
You know that the prom be overrated
Ten years later all these bruthas be bald
And these chicks be Jenny Craigin' at the outlet mall say

It's alright now
Learn this lesson well
I say ya can't beez everyone so ya
Gotsta be ya self

You and me we in the same boat kid
Lookin' back on all the lonely days I had
Couldn't afford the new Timbo boots
Pimples on my grill I had to Oxycute

Now I'm a cool cat me never hurt no one
See my girl Lyte riding the shotgun
Good days, bad days we all get struck
'Cause everyone knows that the prom night sucks and it's

It's alright now
Learn this lesson well
I say ya can't beez everyone so ya
Gotsta be ya self

Go to a disco and hit the floor
Pretend that it's Studio 54
Dance like you never did dance before
If someone got beef be the herbivore

Life's too short to be a disco killer
Tarsha went geek to chic like Ronald Miller
No humiliation from the parasites
Forget about yo troubles till the mornin' light and it's

It's alright now
Learn this lesson well
I say ya can't beez everyone so ya
Gotsta be ya self

Like TLC be on some damn unpretty
Millennium come now you be runnin' this city
Don't let ya self-worth be shook by fool's pity
Ain't nuthin' wrong with no positivity

So why would you change to gain acceptance
Alleviate stress expose some weakness
You'z a diamond and ya shinin' from the ghetto to the sun
Dum diddy, dum diddy, diddy dum dum

It's alright now
Learn this lesson well
I say ya can't beez everyone so ya
Gotsta be ya self

It's alright now
Learn this lesson well
I say ya can't beez everyone child ya
Gotsta be ya self
