Inspiring Artists

Probably the only person on Earth that actually makes me feel good about myself.

India Arie, This song really has done a lot for me, I use to play it over and over again and still do. She is such a free spirit, I wish I could be more like that.

Video Lyrics :-
Sometimes I shave my legs and sometimes I dont
Sometimes I comb my hair and sometimes I wont
Depend on how the wind blows I might even paint my toes
It really just depends on whatever feels good in my soul
I'm not the average girl from your video
And I ain't built like a supermodel
But, I learned to love myself unconditionally
Because I am a queen
I'm not the average girl from your video
My worth is not determined by the price of my clothes
No matter what I'm wearing I will always be India aria
When I look in the mirror the only one there is me
Every freckle on my face is where its supposed to be
And I know our creator didn't make no mistakes on me
My feet, my thighs, my lips, my eyes;
I'm lovin what I see Im not the average girl from your video
And I ain't built like a supermodel But,
I learned to love myself unconditionally
Because I am a queenIm not the average girl from your video
My worth is not determined by the price of my clothes
No matter what Im wearing I will always be india aria
Am I less of a lady if I dont wear pantyhose?
My mama said a lady aint what she wears but, what she knows
But, Ive drawn a conclusion, its all an illusion, confusions the name of the Game
A misconception, a vast deception Somethings gotta change
Dont be offended this is all my opinion
Aint nothing that Im sayin law
This is a true confession of a life learned lesson I was sent here to share wit Yall
So get in where you fit in go on and shine Free your mind, nows the time
Put your salt on the shelfGo on and love yourself cuz everythings gonna be all right
Im not the average girl from your video
And I aint built like a supermodel
But, I learned to love myself unconditionally
Because I am a queenIm not the average girl from your video
My worth is not determined by the price of my clothes
No matter what Im wearing I will always be india aria
Keep your fancy drinks and your expensive minks
I dont need that to have a good time
Keep your expensive car and your caviar
All I need is my guitar
Keep your crisp style and your pistol
Id rather have a pretty piece of crystal
Dont need your silicon I prefer my own
What God gave me is just fine
Im not the average girl from your video
And I aint built like a supermodelBut,
I learned to love myself unconditionally
Because I am a queenIm not the average girl from your video
My worth is not determined by the price of my clothes
No matter what Im wearing I will always be india aria

The other Artist I really appreciate would be Ben Harper


All of his songs are just so amazing and pure
