The Classics
The classics
This is a sample of those sentences, those words
For some innocent and others violent
A silent indigestible pain
Like a big pill stuck in your throat
Where do you come from?
I mean, you know, originally
Do you tan? Is that your real hair?
Do you wash it? Do you mind if I stare?
Is this your cousin?
Are you sure you're family?
Because she's white and you're black
I know for a fact genes don't work like that
My melanin is popping!
I cherish my fro as my crown
I'm human
It's the only thing you need to know
Hello hello and tropico
I want it so badly can I touch your fro?
Well at least you're asking but NO
Hello hello and tropico
Just want to feel it, really need to know
What don't you get about NO?
You might not be aware
But this is my reality
I heard it so many times before
So tiring I can't take anymore
Nowadays so many ways
To get your infos yeah
Get out of your box, think before you talk
You will learn so much
My melanin is popping!
I cherish my fro as my crown
I'm human
It's the only thing you need to know
Hello hello and tropico
I want it so badly can I touch your fro?
Well at least you're asking but NO
Hello hello and tropico
Just want to feel it, really need to know
What don't you get about NO?
