Natural Hair

Don’t get like that, I meant no harm
Thought it was cute and that was all
On the day we met you had a hip flask and a beer
Gold leaf dashiki, all black Vans
He hides his stash inside his sock
Won’t you bring me a silver Rizla for my health?
He’s got heart emojis for his eyes
My bae don’t like surprises
But when my song comes on the radio we slide
Oh, he’s reading Baldwin, Malcolm X
Won’t no one disrespect him
He’s not averse to throwing down and flexing
I like your natural hair
I like your natural hair
I like your natural hair
Young, gifted and black
Your soul’s intact
And that’s a fact
You can tell me what the Nephilim told you
For I would go the ends of the Earth for you
Not even jail could make me turn you in
You got a real one here, ride or die
I sense his smile before I see
Like light at each end of the eclipse
It glows from end to end, ear to ear
On a down day we hatch a plan
To fly a rocket to the stars
And start our colony, our own earthseed
He’s got heart emojis for his eyes
My bae don’t like surprises
But when my song comes on the radio we slide
Oh, he’s reading Baldwin, Malcolm X
Won’t no one disrespect him
He’s not averse to throwing down and flexing
Don’t put anything between us
Don’t let the wicked ways around you win
I swear I won’t put anything between us
If you’re living lux or as broke as a joke
I like your natural hair
I like your natural hair
I like your natural hair
Young, gifted and black
Your soul’s intact
And that’s a fact
