It is just hair.

Is it just hair?

If it’s just hair,

Why does the curl pattern determine the type of stare?

Good hair is loose

Bad hair is nappy

We try our best to distance ourselves from our ancestry

It’s just hair!

Is it just hair though?

We do our best to hide who we are
We’re on a quest to get that good hair flow

The kind that blows in the wind

The kind we had to burn our scalps for 

Time and time again

But, it’s just hair.
