Natural Hair - Kele

Don’t get like that, I meant no harm

Thought it was cute and that was all

On the day we met you had a hip flask and a beer

Gold leaf dashiki, all black Vans

He hides his stash inside his sock

Won’t you bring me a silver Rizla for my health?

He’s got heart emojis for his eyes

My bae don’t like surprises

But when my song comes on the radio we slide

Oh, he’s reading Baldwin, Malcolm X

Won’t no one disrespect him

He’s not averse to throwing down and flexing

I like your natural hair

I like your natural hair

I like your natural hair

Young, gifted and black

Your soul’s intact

And that’s a fact

You can tell me what the Nephilim told you

For I would go the ends of the Earth for you

Not even jail could make me turn you in

You got a real one here, ride or die

I sense his smile before I see

Like light at each end of the eclipse

It glows from end to end, ear to ear

On a down day we hatch a plan

To fly a rocket to the stars

And start our colony, our own earthseed

He’s got heart emojis for his eyes

My bae don’t like surprises

But when my song comes on the radio we slide

Oh, he’s reading Baldwin, Malcolm X

Won’t no one disrespect him

He’s not averse to throwing down and flexing

Don’t put anything between us

Don’t let the wicked ways around you win

I swear I won’t put anything between us

If you’re living lux or as broke as a joke

I like your natural hair

I like your natural hair

I like your natural hair

Young, gifted and black

Your soul’s intact

And that’s a fact
