Russell Simmons - Full Figure Potential (A Fat Girl's Blues) lyrics

Out of money looking for a snack Then I see little Debbie's face on a pack Smiling, enticing me, inviting me to have a taste With haste I race to the destruction of my waist As the sugar sets in so does the disgust I feel Wishing I had the power of will Or hoping someone would k** this gluttonous monster which rules my eyes Which is bigger than my stomach so we fill my belly with pies And cakes, by-products, additives and other sh** It's hard for me to quit, sweets are a quick hit My diet includes fried everything, all kinds of pork People asking if I've been visited by the stork See it's looked at as a sin to be fat without children or a medical condition So it leaves a girl fishing,for an excuse to stop the abuse I endure everyday in every way through ridicule and personal shame Unwanted attention and fame from the group of young men who holler “Big Drawers” As I pa** by I start to cry, the wind dries my eye But nothing can heal this scar left on my esteem Praying this order is a dream or better yet a nightmare For it's too hard to bare this constant scare as my reality A complete disregard for humanity Not seen as humane, more like insane or having no self control She can't even pa** up a jelly roll Not seen as beautiful, look at the folds and gut the cellulite thighs and out of shape bu*t Not seen as strong “She can't go long, she'll be down before the end of the song” My personal demons are hard by themselves Comparisons to pigs, elephants and whales You might look at me and see lazy and weak Giving no second thought, that before you an angel may speak You can't see the beauty besides the pretty face You don't see the warmth of my heart which provides a safe place Or a home where not only love roams For myself and others which light has not been shown See I realized, I'm more than a body, I have a spirit and a mind Which through divine knowledge told me it's about time for me to love who I am And decline those devils who try to steal my joy I'm conquering my foes like Helen of Troy And with the same spirit I make the world hear this Love who you are be the best that you can be Your spirit will soar and the whole world will see Your strength, your beauty and your heart The ignorance of others won't pierce like a dart Let those who worship aesthetics live a pathetic life No substance, no feelings, self-inflicted trife If they can't see the beauty of my soul I know I'm beautiful in the eyes God beholds See, I know at times I may get knocked down or even, doubt my ability But I'll look in the mirror and say I'm wonderful with humility Now we're supposed to respect everyone with different choices, beliefs and hues But who gives a damn about a fat girl's blues?
