To all the thick girls who've been talked down before because of their size despite their inner and outer beauty this is for you.
I walk into the room and I don't need to hear it because I already know it
I can't help it that you've never seen something like this
I can't help it if there's a little more meat on this side of town
Why must I be demeaned because parts of my body jiggle when I walk down the street
Why must parts of my body be grabbed and touched for satisfaction before I am even properly approached
They used to define me by the term fat but now thanks to the art of rap I can be referred to as BBW
Don't get me wrong, I do love Drake and there's nothing wrong with him loving a woman juicier than his steak
But why is it that women like me weren't embraced enough before a rap artist had something to say about us
Why is that I even have to be defined why can't I just be myself
If I'm comfortable in my own skin, why is that I can't I receive the love of men without being tossed around like a tin
Just because I'm big does not mean I was created for your pleasure because this right here truly is an amazing treasure and only few will ever get the chance to discover
They say fat meat is greasy which explains why getting a girl like me ain't easy
Even though I am the one that you approach, it's only so you can go back to your home boy and brag about how you got the girl with the biggest butt, but I'll forever be more than what you can see
I'll be the first to tell you I can easily get on a tread mill I just choose not to, but the point is if I wanted to I could, and once my body has changed you'll probably want to leave
I am not just a number and I am not just a toy
I know my thick black body is beautiful so I get why you must stare
But I am deeper than what your eyes take the time to see, I am a big beautiful black woman with soul and my personality is the biggest piece of gold you could ever have if only you took the time to realize there's more on the inside, but you rather not let your mind explore, so instead you keep me as the women on the side
