It is not easy being a BBW admirer. However, this video also goes out to ANYONE who has suffered at one point or another because of his or her differences.

Lyrics:

"Her 'Weigh' Of Being Beautiful"
(Yetemar-Kenyell Cross; Hydrogen Disulfide Music/The Peanut Butter 'N' Jams 2008)

Verse I:

A lifetime of teasing
A lifetime of pain
I've heard about every joke in the book
There's not much more people can say...
My trials are many
I know I've lost some friends
The shame's on me at the family table
Because my pride has no end, no...

In women who are...

CHORUS

Large and lovely;
So beautiful, so great
I am the one who loves them
And it is no mistake

(musical break, 8 measures)

Verse II:

The space between people
Measures by discrimination
Big girls are sure treated
funny by somebody, somewhere
Because the world can't seem to heal
In self-conscious handcuffs...
And in mental apprehension...
These women feel less than those
less than perfect
But they are precious to me, yeah...

The women who are...

CHORUS

Rap:

I hear 'em say,
"Here we go again, with another song
about big girls, like we haven't heard
them before, right?
It's all about size, her hips and her thighs,
a chest with the best breasts;
so go and do your song, 'cause we're
not impressed."
First of all, I'm not like everyone else,
The lyrics that I write are what I feel and know for myself
And I'll continue to stand proud for women of size
It's frustrating, though...
'Cause I wonder where are the guys
who are not afraid?
To stand...
In spite of what their friends think
Co-workers, relatives...
They can all take it or leave it
I might be left alone 'till the end
But if ya'll remember anything,
You've got a friend right here
