Fool's Gold
America's version of beauty
Is fool's gold
To have beauty
You have to be skinny
To the point you look sick
To have beauty
You have to be thick
To have beauty
You have to have hair that reaches your butt
The funniest though is
You just got to know how to suck
To have beauty
You have to be his fool
Mirror mirror on the wall
Who's the prettiest of them all
The size two
Or the sixteen
The one with the hips
Or the one wiht the lips
To be popular
You got to smoke a blunt
To be hot
You got to be a thot
To be honest
You got to get drunk
I don't know about you
But I don't agree
I feel that what makes me
Beautiful, Pretty, Gorgeous
Any other synonym you can name
Is for me to be me
And I am pure gold
Rock solid
And that in itself
Is all that I need to know
