Back to My Roots
This is a special shout going out to my mama, Ms. Ernestine Charles
Mama used to do people hair in the kitchen
Press and curl, hot curlers, everything
I love you mama
Black hair is (a revolution)
Cornrows (uh-uh, honey, I am tender-headed)
Jheri curls (style sophistication)
Afro puff (ah-ooh, ah-ooh)
Hair weave (call her Miss Ross)
Braids (pride, respect)
Extensions (more of a 90s fashion)
Asymmetrical shroom (banji girl)
I'm going back, back, black to my roots
Where my love can be found and my heart rings true
I'm going back, back, black to my roots
To the time and the place, coming back to you
I'm going back, back, black to my roots
Where my love can be found and my heart rings true
I'm going back, back, black to my roots
To the time and the place, coming back to you
Black hair is (a revolution)
Finger wave (a classic extravaganza)
Press and curl (never mix, never worry)
Flat top fade (very contemporary)
Nail sculpture (urban distinction)
Hot comb (ouch, mama, that was my ear!)
Blow out kits (ooh, ooh tamba)
No-lye relaxer (fried dyed and laid to the side)
I'm going back, back, black to my roots
Where my love can be found and my heart rings true
I'm going back, back, black to my roots
To the time and the place, coming back to you
I'm going back, back, black to my roots
Where my love can be found and my heart rings true
I'm going back, back, black to my roots
To the time and the place, coming back to you
Black hair is...
Now mama got her own salon down on Auburn Avenue
And if you wanna know what's happening in Atlanta
Just go to the salon
That's to you and all y'all down there, brothers and sisters
Miss Earlene, Lizzy Dean, Renetta
Little baby boy, Tone Tone, Leonard, K-Ron, Cornisha
Peace my brothers and sisters
Peace, love and hair grease
A revolution, a revolution
A re- re-, a revolution
I'm going back, back, black to my roots
Where my love can be found and my heart rings true
I'm going back, back, black to my roots
To the time and the place, coming back to you
I'm going back, back, black to my roots
Where my love can be found and my heart rings true
I'm going back, back, black to my roots
To the time and the place, coming back to you
