beauty supply

Take a trip with me to the beauty supply ('ply, 'ply)
I know you can't stand it, we fine (fine, fine)
Man, if I'm cryin', cry
Take a trip with me to the beauty supply ('ply, 'ply)
I know you can't stand it, we fine (fine, fine)
Man, if I'm cryin', cry

Fresh out the box, a bundle, two fifty
Rapunzel make pennies, the market share plenty
The feminist in me don't bat no eye
Support the black business, no compromise

A lot of self say this is self-love
To braid my hair down and masquerade us
Because I just wanna be the love of my life
Set aside my own standard and really demand hers
Silly and absurd, wearin' a fur cap wig hat
And then preach I love everything black
I know this ain't cap, it's cap
We cap the track, sabotage, I'ma hold me back, like

Ah, new identity, same enemy, me
When I believe in prettier with my weave
When I could see the forest behind the trees (ah, ah, ah, ah, ah)
I'll be free, I'll be free, I'll be free

Take a trip with me to the beauty supply ('ply, 'ply)
I know you can't stand it, we fine (fine, fine)
Man, if I'm cryin', cry
Take a trip with me to the beauty supply ('ply, 'ply)
I know you can't stand it, we fine (fine, fine)
Man, if I'm cryin', cry

Yo, let me down by the edge of the river
Pray to god that my edges deliver a good look
Infantile baby hair make the men look
Eurocentric look-book, residential forever
We live in a momentary lapse of judgement
Black concussion, asleep at the wheel
We trusted the plantation to drive us home
Hallelujah, I idolize a white bitch
While I rock a toupee

Cosplay a new identity, same enemy (me)
When I believe I'm prettier with my (weave)
When I could see the forest behind the (trees)
I'll be free, I'll be free, I'll be free
New identity, same enemy (me)
When I believe I'm prettier with my (weave)
When I could see the forest behind the (trees) (ah, ah, ah, ah, ah)
I'll be free, I'll be free, I'll be free

Take a trip with me to the beauty supply ('ply, 'ply)
I know you can't stand it, we fine (fine, fine)
Man, if I'm cryin', cry
Take a trip with me to the beauty supply ('ply, 'ply)
I know you can't stand it, we fine (fine, fine)
Man, if I'm cryin', cry (cry)

Yeah, yeah

Take a trip with me
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
