Type Stereo Flow

only dreadlock sistas are poets is what they say, what they believe
not relaxer, perm, touch-up sistas
not sistas that don't want to deal with the kitchen sistas (are poets)
only sistas that brave the course tooth comb are poets
is it true that my hair is my story & my bottom line?
no, no how can this be?
because i relax my hair and i know i'm a poet
just 'cause i relax my hair don't mean i'm a mid-drift showin', pop champagne, soulja boy loving type sista, come on
but that's what you think of us
but you know what? no for real
my hair is so nappy that i just can't deal!
and lord knows anyone else's hands in it just makes me cringe and remember all my tender-headed salon days back when i was under parental supervision
see, we are a poet nappy, curly or straight, weaved up/down & braided in any style and i'm good so do me a favor next time
before you judge me on my hair just try and read my heart first
