Don't let anybody tell you who you are; don't let anyone tell you that you don't deserve what you're willing to work for.
Never give up; you\'ll never know how far you could go until you try to get to where you want to go.

You're sittin' over there
talkin' like you're better than me
like you've got a right, more skill in everything
like it's destined in some prophecy
But let me tell you something
something one day you'll see
one day you'll figure out, what the world is all about
you'll step back to re-evaluate me
re-think your priorities

CHORUS: Never underestimate a girl
cause' one day she will become your world
she understands,she wears the pants
she knows your thoughts with one glance

Never underestimate a girl
cause' one day you'll be on her pay roll
can control you with her finger,
so don't dare too long to linger,
cause' you know she's in control
never underestimate a girl

Go ahead and drop your mouth
you know what I'm talkin' about
guess one day you'll see
Beauty tamed the Beast
Ariel left the sea
we're stronger than you think

CHORUS

Never underestimate a girl
no, never underestimate a girl

DON'T UNDERESTIMATE A GIRL... I know some guys think they are tougher or more skilled but... us girls stick together and we're strong and we're quick thinking... so we'll take your world by surprise....

do it! Question everything, ask questions that don't make sense, find discoveries everyone overlooked.  Try things normal people wouldn't, climb trees and go to some faraway place no one dares to go... own a snake... idk. Do something with your life! ---Challenge yourself. Take risks. Don't be afraid to fall. Don't be afraid to try something.

You only have on life to live. Why waste it?

You want to be the President? As in, the President of the United States? Oh wow....! That is awesome! I hope you can do it! Stay strong; don't let anyone tell you you're not good enough... it'll be a tough ride but you can do it :)

Thank you!!! (to both of you!)

The song is a jazzy-pop kind of song. It is a song you wouldn't expect to hear but it's really smooth. I like it.

And thank you! I have a minor obsession to Disney characters... :)

Mikky,

I am glad you stuck up for yourself. Stay strong and keep writing. Know that sometimes writings can be stronger than anything you say out loud. Because we don't always say everything we think. So keep writing. I'm sure you're a talented young person and I hope you get your chance to be published. :)
