Curls

Curls break barriers
They refuse to conform
To the beauty standards
We have been taught
Since the day we were born
Curls are freedom
Curls are originality
In a world full of clones
Your curls are everything

I'm a wear my curls
I'm a paint my face
I'm a stand real tall
For the human race
I'm a walk right through
To the pearly gates
For my brothers and my sisters
I'm a make that change
To the lightest one's
And the darkest too
Taking back our culture
I will stay true
We gone dance and sing
For our kings and queens
Ain't no stopping us
We gone wear our rings

And I'm a rock the boat
I'm a sink the ship
End your ego trip
I'm a wear these curls
Gonna paint my face
Ain't no stopping me
Time to change our fate
Gonna do my dance
Gonna sing my song
Believe that what we do is wrong
It's we the people I think they said
Stop staring
Please don't touch my head

I'm a run into the flames
I'll be screaming out their names
Shake the system
I break the chains
Burn the bridges their only way
Hashtags aren't gonna save
Wave my flag I'll let it sway
We won't let them take our day
It's okay to be brown and gay

And I'm a rock the boat
I'm a sink the ship
End your ego trip
I'm a wear these curls
Gonna paint my face
Ain't no stopping me
Time to change our fate
Gonna do my dance
Gonna sing my song
Believe that what we do is wrong
It's we the people I think they said
Stop staring
Please don't touch my head

One two I'm coming for you
Three four demanding more
Five and six we want it fixed
Seven eight making up clickbait
And nine ten we'll always win
We won't back down we'll raise our chins
Rinse repeat the cycle ends

No matter the color
The texture
The size
Curls are people
People are curls
Abstract in a figurative world
Curls are defiant
To a systematic oppression
Of self expression

And I'm a rock the boat
I'm a sink the ship
End your ego trip
I'm a wear these curls
Gonna paint my face
Ain't no stopping me
Time to change our fate
Gonna do my dance
Gonna sing my song
Ignore the hate ain't nothing's wrong
It's we the people I think they said
Stop staring
Please don't touch my damn
Curls
