Honey My Hair Used To Be Laid Like...

Back when I was relaxed my hair used to be laid like glue against paper

So laid my edges didn't exist

Miss Balding around the edges

"Ha ha she aint got no edges"

But shoot you couldn't tell me anything!

I swooped that thang to the back

Ran that gel in my hair

and I cut up

My hair was laid like

laid like

Naomi Campbell

I had fashionable chemical burns

sores from wanting to have my hair so straight when it was so short

But shoot honey my hair was laid. Baby boo you couldn't tell me nothing about my straight hair.

Chile please.

Now you can't get me to go back to it.

I run away from relaxers like it aint nobody's business.

Chile, now my hair naps up...

It aint laid no more

I think I have 4G hair, it kinks up like Mufasa's beard

But I  don't care, I'm chilling over here like I'm Nahla

I may not be purely african

But I don't care, I know I came from somewhere and when I fro my hair out and it kinks up like nobody's business I feel like Africa.

With my dark skin

High cheek bones

full lips

wide hypnotizing eyes

And slender long neck

I feel like a princess

I feel some kinda way. And it's a good way.

Honey my hair aint laid no more, but shoot....at least it's actually growing now.
