Drip, drip, drip goes,
The sweat down my elbows,
Reflection and skin tone,
Now drenched and red,
Close-fed thoughts of a quitter,
My body precious and thicker than hers,
Wishing and Envisioning
Her sniffling in the mirror when
These thighs are more reckless and sicker than hers
More determined than bitter
Thought I would never compare
Avoiding angles for another skinny chicken to stare
I’m here. I’m not broken
Was built to stay focused
Got my mind on this high
Aiming for that fit token,
Chills flowing down the base of my spine
My eyes is burnin’ now
Who’s waist smaller than mine?
My thighs, they hurtin’ now
My dear, it is evident
You shine through embellishment
While I’m more concerned of looking better wetter in clothes,
Your thoughts of me, IRRELEVANT
Shining through eyes of elegance
And your expression when the betterment of my measurement shows
I feel the sweat in my toes
God damn, these beats knocking!
Got Drake in my ear
And this chick is still watching
Confident with every step I take
Who’s fit now?
Glistening with every sweat I make,
I’ll quit now
Never be so quick to judge my waist
Or underestimate
The rhythm of my size and my shape
Cause right now?
You gotta reach the top to take my crown
Now turn around
And hear your heartbeat sound
Looks like YOU need to sit down.
