I am one thick ole girl/ yeah, I'm all hips and azz/ but, it wasn't too long ago/ a brotha would see all this/ and walk right pass me/ see, not too long ago/ It just wast in, not to be thin/ but, now-/ well, now society thinks I'm beautiful/ so now, I'm in style/ It's gettin' to be all about me/ all of a sudden, my body is lovely/ so much that they write more than the average poems/ about me/ sing more than the average songs about me/ scout me to represent their companies/ because today, society says I'm pretty/ nevermind that not too long ago/ I was unhealthy/ unworthy of being happy with me/ because my body wasn't skinny/ no, nevermind all that/ you see, yesterday I was fat/ today I'm just stacked/ I, guess it's nice/ when a brotha looks twice at me/ says I'm healthy/ I'm sexy/ I'm workin' with somethin'/ and nothin' is out of place/ I guess it's nice/ not having endure false flatteries/ like, "ooh, girl you got a pretty face"/ well, in that case/ since I'm so pretty/ should it matter that I'm not skinny/ because I am not a size 6/ or 7 or 8 or 9 or 10/ but then, should that matter/ hell, tomorrow I could be fatter than I was yesterday/ if so, would I loose my identity/ sure am glad we rely on society/ for without it, where would queens like me be/ you know, for generations/ everything revolved around being slightly gauntly/ but, tell me/ when will we stop allowing society/ to standardize our bodies/ when all this body/ just be all this body/ and not my entire being/ seing ourselves in society's superficial and shallow eyes/ blinding us from what we should know is true/ beauty, is not characterized by the shape of your body/ true beauty, resides within the soul of you
