Natural Not Nappy
The perm usually burned
Thank God we cut it out
The new faces never saw the chemicalled you
The endless styles this new do can take us
Because how you look defines how the treat me
At first they were afraid of you
Didn't know how to approach you
Wanted to feel you
Because they doubted the real you
Wanted to stick you in a different category
Because they had nothing close to you
Over the year
They've gotten to know us
Society finally allow you
You've mature my look
My how flawless you've grown
When wet you're at your best
When you shrink
People think I've cut you again
Never!
You're here to stay.
