I am a Nappy headed woman, I love my naps...I love my curls...I love my dreads.. I refuse to let anyone put chemicals in my head...
My heart aches as I tell my tale
A tale as old as America itself
How my parents came for a better life
Condemning themselves a different kind
A kind of people misunderstood
This one is for my brothers
With the mocha skin and full lips
This one is for my sisters
With the kinky hair and big hips
This one is for everyone who represents Trayvon Martin
Always facing racial profiling
Given the opportunity to share my point of view...

I am more than just another body in a desk

You probably dont care
for the reason that I stare
with a greater purpose to be here.
With an education at my feet
you'd think i'd be more aware.
Now just to be be fair,
