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
