My hairs a mess today
I dont want to go play
Its nappy
Thats all I can say
Going all directions
The pieces fly
The wrong way
Why is my hair
Like this anyway?
My mamas been gone
But I want her to stay.
I need help
Real bad today.
My friends all laugh
Its been a long day
I was in misery
Sad, alone and afraid
Until later that day
I heard a girl say,
"Sister girl
Im gonna help you today!"
So she got her hair supplies
And said,
"Hold your head high
Don't be afraid."
Then she got her Liv
Comb and edge control
And told me
To pick myself up and go
Then I saw a certain beauty
In me
Deep down in my soul,
I started to see
That I was unique
Special
And black
Thats me
People may bully
Put me down
And be mean
But I know
That I don't need them
To define me
I just need to see
That I am
Beautiful
And Black
Thats me
That day I was rescued
Now I am free
Because of a girl
Who wanted to rescue
Somebody
Like me
