My hair is not blonde Should I feel despond And my hair is not straight Should I live in frustrate
The length of my back, my hair does not fall I don’t look like Barbie, the “beauty” model doll My hair is black, course and chemically free So to look like a Barbie, we don’t see the need
I look at the women in magazines and tv The “socially attractive,” who don’t look like me Their hair is not short and kinky like mine They have the look, that is considered “divine”
Those with dark skin and those with kinky hair We struggle against, all this negative warfare We’re continually reminded, each day after day Cuz we choose not to live, the “American way”
Should I be made, to feel less attractive Though the “American look,” is actually the massive I ‘m so proud of my “Afrikan look,” for all to view and see I have a positive outlook, and am live’n chemical carefree
