My bad hair days must now come to pass

It's time to get my wig done. Let's see…culture or class?

Sure, finger waves are all the rave and those scrunchies, I love a bunch

because they can be done without a perm

Man, does it burn!

But, when the thunder claps and rain slaps down on my wrap

I figure “Raindrops keep falling on my head—perhaps, I'll just wear dreads”

Of course, I love my braids (thought they do tend to get kinky)

But, I love the style they fall in when they're all loose and crinkly

Ladies compliment, guys say “You go, girl!”

When I look like Freddie off `A Different World'

And have I mentioned extensions with that H.I.B.

(Hair I Bought with my own money)?

“Child, you hair looks cute! Is that all yours?

Yes, it all belongs to me

Maybe Goddess braids to show off the wrath of my badness

Young queen with a hairdo to match

No crown can top that

Just showing off the best of my naturally tight-curled

strong-rooted, thickly-swirled hair that's up there

And, rattail combs, beware!

`Cause my scalp is sensitive to every part that you give

Straight up nappy-headed female from another state

Stating `Culture or Naps'…and what a hair-raising debate

Aw, hell—maybe I'll just get a wig!
