Elle Varner & India Arie

Ahhhhhhhhh I could just cry happy tears right now. These two are giving me life tonight. I just discovered Elle Varner. & YESSS I KNOW IM LATE! I knew the song "refill" but i never knew who sung it. Whats weird is that I follow Elle Varner on twitter i guess last night was just the first time i thought to look up her music. You can basically say it was love at first listen!  

When I look down at my chest
Oh yes, my chest it might as well be nonexistent
How can I ever compete With 34 double D's?

And I'm rollin my eyes
When I look down at my thighs
They might as well tape everything that I eat,
To my legs.
I am too broke for the knife
Too lazy to excercise
But if I had hazel eyes
Maybe I could be fly.

If I had no cellulite
Big breasts and pockets real wide
Then maybe I
Maybe I, I,
I could be so fly.
And if I had a small waist
I'd make the boys go insane
And maybe I
Maybe I, I,
I could be so fly.
So fly [3x]

Now listen
I've got a beautiful soul
But only 4 people know
They've known me since I was 10
Beauty did not matter then.

Now in my twenties, all that matters
Is sex cars and money
I ain't got none of the three
So basically, I am invisible to all of the fellas
And I sit at home jealous
There was no golden ticket
In my chocolate today.

And worst of all
I'm reminded in the cruelest ways
Of how I don't look and I should look
And that's why I say...

If I had no cellulite
Big breasts and pockets real wide
Then maybe I
Maybe I, I,
I could be so fly.
And if I had a small waist
I'd make the boys go insane
And maybe I
Maybe I, I,
I could be so fly.
So fly [6x]

So basically all I need
Is to be everything but me
Colored contacts
Liposuction
And some implants
Somehow that don't make much sense
I must be out of my head
If I think, that I am governed by material things.

So I decided I'm
The definition of fly
And if you want to know why
I know what money can't buy
Don't go believing the hype
There's no runway in the sky
And no way you could be fly
Not if it costs you a dime.

If I had no cellulite
Big breasts and pockets real wide
Then maybe I
Maybe I, I, I
I could be so fly.
If I had no cellulite
The boys go insane
And maybe I
Maybe I, I,
I could be so fly

Can I just say that she speaks the truth. This is REAL music! She is what young ladies like me need to be listening to. Don't get me wrong I love turn up music at times but THIS is music for the soul.

Secondly I've listened to India Arie plenty of times but its just like every time I do listen to her she gives me what I need. even though you will probably never read this i just wanted to say thank you for giving us girls something to gain. Its not everyday we get a reminder to have the "Video" mentality. Thank you for putting this song into my life because it truly makes me happy. I love you & you are "THE TRUTH"

[Verse 1]
Sometimes I shave my legs and sometimes I don’t
Sometimes I comb my hair and sometimes I won’t
Depend of how the wind blows I might even paint my toes
It really just depends on whatever feels good in my soul

[Chorus]

I’m not the average girl from your video
And I ain’t built like a supermodel
But I learned to love myself unconditionally,
Because I am a queen

I not the average girl from your video
My worth is not determined by the price of my clothes
No matter what I’m wearing I will always be
India.Arie

[Verse 2]
When I look in the mirror and the only one there is me
Every freckle on my face is where it’s suppose to be
And I know my creator didn’t make no mistakes on me
My feet, my thighs, my Lips, my eyes, I’m loving what I see

[Chorus]

[Verse 3]
Am I less of a lady if I don’t where panty hose
My momma said a lady ain’t what she wears but what she knows…
But I’ve drawn the conclusion, it’s all an illusion
Confusion’s the name of the game
A misconception, a vast deception,
Something got to change

Now don’t be offended this is all my opinion
Ain’t nothing that I’m saying law
This is a true confession 
Of a life learned lesson 
I was sent here to share with y'all
So get in when you fit in
Go on and shine
Clear your mind 
Now’s the time
Put your salt on the shelf
Go on and love yourself
‘Cause everything’s gonna be alright

[Chorus]

[Out]
Keep your fancy drink, and your expensive minks
I don’t need that to have a good time
Keep your expensive cars and your caviar
All’s I need is my guitar

Keep your crystal and your pistol
I’d rather have a pretty piece of crystal
Don’t need you silicone, I prefer my own
What god gave me is just fine…

[Chorus]
