The Stigma

How could I get you to love yourself even more?

The stigma from the media got us acting like we ain't good no more

Cause I ain't got a six pack and you don't wear a size 4

Cause I don't wear versace and you can't pay for Tom Ford

Cause you don't look like Kim K and i ain't ripped like Shermar Moore

I can't even watch an X - rated film without feeling insecure

Cause there ain't no popular fat dudes in porn

Girls nowadays don't want a brother unless he got an anaconda

But them same dudes punching chick's cause they street fighters, a bunch of Ehondas

Dudes want a girl with a big butt and big breasts

But truth is most of them chick's is only interested in the dudes with some bread

These dudes fighting her other dudes and probably end up dead

Over an ugly, surgically enhanced chick that everybody said got good head

And then there's people like us baby

Cause I can appreciate the little stomach you got and your childhood scars lady

You gained a little weight baby it's all gravy

I want you to be with me before and after the bread just don't act shady

I like how you love a brotha now, stomach and all

Its just shows you ain't down with the stigma but a brotha with some flaws

And I want to be the motivation that helps your dreams and aspiration fly

Not the guy that's the reason your self esteem then died

And the only time I put my hands on your skin is to caress you

And the only time you'll shake around me is when I play Luke

Do you love yourself more?

Or has the stigma got you in its grips and effecting your core?
