Zits (also known as I've Got Zits) is an unidentified parody of the 1997 song Bitch by Meredith Brooks. According to the recent lead found by Evinary, it's most likely made by an artist named "Darla", who was claimed to be from one of TWOW.COM websites.
The song describes a person who is worried about her acne-filled face what her boyfriend would call "pizza face", finding something better to cure her face as quick as possible.

Presumed Lyrics[]
[Verse 1]
I hate my skin today
If you looked at me, you'd call me "pizza face"
Tried to cover up with tinted Clearasil
But you can see that underneath
Pores are clogged with grease
[Verse 2]
Yesterday I cried
Made a child scream and then I hid inside
I can understand how you would never choose
To watch my whiteheads ooze
I'm afraid someday I will look like the surface of the moon
[Chorus 1]
I've got zits, I've got pimples
It's a pit, plain and simple
Social life is really lame
My forehead is in flames
Look like hell, a bad dream
Put on more acne cream
You know I need another dose of Retin-A
[Chorus 2]
I've got zits, got 'em bad
Stridex medicated pads
They don't work, so why suffer?
Keep my head under the covers
Be a pal, be a friend
Give me your Oxy-10
You know I need another dose of Retin-A
