i am loving my nappy hair curly locks everywhere doing their own thing bouncing and behaving marching to their own tune beautifully facing the world brave new world

i am loving my nappy hair
my good hair
my strong hair
my beautiful hair

braided faded
locked twisted
wrapped
no lye
i am loving my hair

speaking to and of my history
a strong black people
strong nations
royalty
see
i am loving my good nappy hair
