Lyrics stick talk - brooklyne b.

Bare with me on this one
I've been holding these thoughts
Since a youngin
Its not real poetic
I just wanna have a conversation
You know
A little stick talk

I've always struggled with my size
For those who dont know
I'm about 5'2 a whopping 100 lbs
Itty bitty-skinny mini
Bad bitch
You feel me
But forreal
I've never been comfortable in my body
I've never admired my body
And thanked her for serving me in more ways than one

I allowed society
Really niggas
To tell me I wasnt enough cause my A cups tits
And ass that only wants to poke out when no one is around
To actually see her thrive
I allowed myself to shrink

To feel less than
Because if only I had the body
I'd be taken more seriously
I wouldnt carded at every bar and club
I wouldnt be questioned about my qualifications in the workplace
If only I had some body
Things would be different
I had to realize not that I was powerful despite my body
But I was powerful because of it

I'm learning to love my little curves
The day they show up and the days they dont
How I look naked and how I look fully clothed
I began to surround myself with people who appreciate my canvas
Not shame it
I learned to not be triggered by the eating comments
Because I love who I am and the body
That was carved out specifically for me
To own and cherish

After my aunt passed
I stopped eating for a year and a half
The food on my plate was intimidating
I was already small
But now it was giving full blown casper
I had to give myself grace
And work towards an appetite
And wanting to feel good in my body
For no one other than me

So this is for the itty bitty fairy
Thats tired of feeling small
Your body is magical
Your soul glows
And your wings lift you off the ground when you let them
Trust them and believe they'll never fail you
Back that ass up on your friend or your partner

Learn to find the humor in
Our crop tops looking like bibs
And twerking sounding like rattles
Something as small as
Not wanting to take pics for the gram
Because you feel like you don't add up
That's in your mind
I want you to practice poses in the mirror for you
And no one else
To fall in love with your reflection
And feel sexy
Because you are
You are what you exude
But you have to believe it first
Its weight in that
Finding the beauty in the things we don't love
And making that our superpower

All of our bodies no matter the size or shape
Short tall fat skinny shmedium
Are exactly where they're meant to be for today
If you want to change her
Enhance her
Fill her
Shrink her
By all means do that
I will never tell you not to get your makeup done
Just appreciate your bare face first
I'm not the skinny mini captain
I'm not gonna let yall box me into that
If I want to bbl it up later
I will do that
But I'm falling in love with my right now
Your body is here today

Right now
And she deserves and needs to feel loved
There's a reason she was rented to you for this lifetime
Appreciate her
She shows up for you everyday even when you neglect her
Don't stretch her
Don't water
Or nourish her
Allow anyone access to her
Drape her in disrespectful ass garments
She remains
Love her because no matter how you feel about her
She loves you
And is yearning to get that love in return
That body
That body honey is yours
Through it all
She sticks with you
