Braided Hair |
| Yo we was talking earlier and I was telling you talking bout life |
| I feel like life is like braided hair |
| Its sorta like twist you know |
| Bout braided hair like twist |
| You know three strands twist together |
| Ultimately you get to where you wanna get to |
| From the same dirt from the heels of my ancestors |
| The naked roads and the fields where the pain festered |
| And I wonder where the hold came from |
| In the deeps of my heart make me yearn for the drum |
| It’s the same place where the cross is burned |
| The same place where the loss was earned |
| It’s the place where the floss was yearned |
| Gold teeth and bling ice on the ring baby sure |
| We’ve all got things that hang at the back |
| Things that make us cool, |
| Things that make us whack, |
| Things that make us mad |
| Things we wish we never had done |
| But they’re just the things that make us real |
| Not the maps to guide where we go from here |
| The road twists and braids our hair |
| Until we all get there |
| I like that I don’t know some mysteries |
| Ancient things and beginnings |
| Excited about the day when I don’t have to hear all the theories |
| My scalp needs some grease |
| It’s the same place where the crosses burned |
| The same place where the loss was earned |
| The only way we all can learn |
| Is if we have these braids with the twist and turns so |
| Walking in the race of life |
| Looking for my own pace |
| Not always wanting to but I have to |
| Sometimes feeling like I’ve bitten off much more than I could chew |
| But the wind goes though my hair |
| Lifts me up with ease not a crease |
| Hair full of grease no weave embracing me |
| It’s you I see |
| I am you and you are me I see yeah |
| I am you and you are me I see |
| We might survive as brothers ye |
