Yea, I Know My Head is Nappy

This is me and my hair,

No, it doesn't have that white girl flow,

But why should you care,

It's healthy is all you need to know.

 

Yea, I know my head is nappy,

No, stratch that, it has kinks,

It's all me and makes me happy,

I refuse to believe in what you think.

 

Hearing the same mess everyday gets old,

Sometimes the opinion on my hair is sadly laughable,

And just cause it isn't ten kinds of gold,

It can't be admirable?

 

And another thing,

I ain't no puppy so stop rubbing in my head,

When you do it, I'm so ready to swing,

Hunny, you better lightly tread.

 

Why does it seem like our generation just can't understand,

Not every one is perfect,

Woman, child, or man,

But our flaws are worth it. 

 

You ain't got to love my hair,

but please respect it,

And just so you're fully aware,

I don't need your comments, not even a little bit. 

 

This hair makes me feel at bliss,

My hair natural hair is who I am,

And if you still feel the same after all this,

Frankly my dear, I don't give a damn.
