This is my "live by your own standards, take the steering wheel of your life and don't let other define who you are song"!
So many labels, cliches, categories and limiting beliefs imposed by others, and society in general that keep many of us contained. I was frustrated by the kind of trivial things that make news.
Frustrated by the "best dressed lists" "The who dumped whom" the "let's all compete against eachother act like fools for the love of a man (or woman) that will drop us after taping is over"! Who are they kidding? How many "looking for love" seasons to we need? How many industry experts telling us what looks good on OUR bodies, let alone HOW our bodies should look?
I believe firmly that nobody can define for you, what you can or can't achieve and above all who you ARE.
It is so difficult being a square peg in a round hole but to what extent do we sell our spirit just to fit in? The time has come for allowing your true brilliance to shine through. Your uniqueness, your truth.
The world is waiting for you. Let's "make their mouths drop" and live above the noise..
with love and respect, Leila

lyrics
just who are they
the keepers of the best dressed list
I have lots to say and I’m not easily dismissed
I didn’t get the memo that
crowned them judge of thin or fat
what is worthy?...where it’s at...
love myself. Imagine that.
must have missed the new revision
of sucesses’ definition
seems in order to succeed can’t be older than 20
ooh bla bla bla bla bla bla
(chorus)
time to let the queen in
time to worship my skin
time to live from within
Redefine Me
time to make them really talk
time to make their mouths drop
put them in a state of shock
redifine me
(verse 2)
just who am I, since I don’t really know myself
but first one thing
I’ll take my questions off the shelf
a minority to what?
where’s the box for melting pot?
can’t have money and a heart?
can’t be sexy and be smart?
what’s the mark of a strong leader
zero on compassion’s meter
more important things I hear
who was dumped by whom this year?
ooh bla bla bla bla bla
(chorus 2x)
fat...thin...out... in...
bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla
fierce...forced...dating...divorced
bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla
Love? Passe. Scandal? Front page.
bla bla bla bla bla bla bla
