It is just hair.
Is it just hair?
If it’s just hair,
Why does the curl pattern determine the type of stare?
Good hair is loose
Bad hair is nappy
We try our best to distance ourselves from our ancestry
It’s just hair!
Is it just hair though?
We do our best to hide who we are
We’re on a quest to get that good hair flow
The kind that blows in the wind
The kind we had to burn our scalps for
Time and time again
But, it’s just hair.
