ABOUT MY HAIR|AAMYRA

Nappy kinky curly fro 

Why the fuck you take so long to grow 

Nappy kinky curly fro 

Why you make my bank account broke 

Nappy kinky curly fro

Bro! Where’d my Bobby pins go 

Roses and jojoba oil look so good on you 

But nappy kinky curly fro 

Where’d my Sunday go 

I want the world to know 

That my precious nappy kinky curly fro 

Is not a hamartia

You are not a distraction in the work place 

You are a vision of me 

My identity 

You will not be tamed and concealed 

Or dulled down to be anything less than seen
