[verse 1: andrea l. rhymer]
he told me i was perfect
counted the freckles on my nose in the dark
dark chocolate he suckled
i suffered under loving him, but it was so…
good, i swear it was so good
so it was milk and honey and madness
through lips smacked, i tasted his dreams
and they were like…
there were like endless p-ssions and staring off cliffs to freedom land
there were like an eloquent soliloquy
they were like negro spirituals, beautiful and pained
beautiful and pained in everything
he said he loves me nappy
early morning, wild eyes and free how i was meant to be
said he smelled the sweat
and determination in my fro before i burned it out
before the grease slicked my worried brow. “what are we now?”
he wondered since i don’t look the same
[hook: mankind with background vocals by akil loving]
madam c. j. laced you with the perm
and you mad ‘cause i ain’t say a word
but would it be wrong to say that you
were perfect how you were? let’s get it straight here
we’re going through it, and they should be concerned
let’s get it straight here
we’re going through it, and they should be concerned
[verse 2: sciryl]
nah, nah. where’d your afro go? you were perfect
how you were, girl, and that’s no joke. there’s no need
to eliminate your kinks and curls to -ssimilate
your nappy hair and your pretty face. let’s get it straight
here, baby. you don’t need straight hair to b-tterfly
flutter where my stomach lies. what a time to
be alive. it’s been a great year, we’re finally free, and they’re
scared. i couldn’t wait to play up in your scalp
but it seemed like everything
changed since we made it from the south. we used to stay up
in the house. you were shy, no patience for the crowds
no hatred, i’m just trying to figure out why you’d rather comb it
down and pick it out. huh, ‘cause if you did it for me
just know it’s something
i could live without, but if you did it for you
that’s all i need to know, and all i need to grow
keep me close, keep me close even though, even though
[hook: mankind with background vocals by akil loving]
madam c. j. laced you with the perm
and you mad ‘cause i ain’t say a word
[verse 3: !llumin@te]
whoever said
“long hair don’t care” is a bald-headed liar
you’re bald ‘cause your head was on fire. i see the tracks
of your tears and it’s tearing me apart. i can’t
relax, i wear it on my heart, i wear it like
my skin. it’s wearing on me thin, started losing my hair
i’m like, “where do i begin?” sometimes, i’m full
of sh-t. it’s clear that i depend on your support
i saw your hair and thought it was the end. let’s get it straight
here: i dread falling out with you. i’d rather
lock it down. natural beauty, you should rock a crown
she said, “stop throwing rocks at my throne
the hair that i rock is my own.” i brushed it off
touched her soft, really checked it out
got turned on, we’re ‘bout to sweat it out. mankind
