Why aren’t my kinky curls classic curls?
Didn’t mean to ask the question
I know they why don’t need a reason
So let’s just skip right to the lesson
When you center the experience
Of a certain kind of girl
Then you’re bound to underestimate
What makes up a classic curl
Because if you knew your history
You’d know we graced the world
Long before your Ancestors
So guess we’re classic girls
My curls will not be colonized
Gaslit into a twirl
So maybe you should think twice
Before your graphics greet the world
Goddamn it white supremacy
You’re messing with my weekend
Trying to buy conditioner and this is where it’s leading
Now I’ve gotta reflect on what you’re not conceding
My curls are fucking beautiful
Your words are not impeding
On my shine
Just my time
But I’m not even out here pleading
Five minutes for this rhyme
And that’s it! I’ll be proceeding
My kinky curls are classic
Tell the masses this massive
My kinky curls decline to walk the line
Of your status quo
