Pride

 

I refuse to label myself “fat”

Because that means I have excess bodily weight

but thick means to be heavy and compact in form or stature

I happen to be very thick.

So the fact of you befriending me is a non factor.

But you can't help it

because my curves draw your attention

and not to mention

flip your intentions

This girls got you slippin

never knew what you were missin

so busy dissin..... me

My thickness is not a sickness

And if I decide to lose weight in the future, then that’s my business

My self confidence is now on the same level as my mental fitness

My hips are sometimes too wide to walk through certain places straight

So I got to turn sideways, don’t hate

I ain’t never been skinny, and never will be skinny

So to say “my friends can’t be fat” is plain silly.

But its okay, it’s your wish and I’ll obey

Don't nobody want to be her friend anyway

I can now stand tall and defend my image
