Nappy by Mama Candice
I wrote this track after seeing a 3 year old African child with a blonde weave sewn into her head. I thought about how early we learn to hate ourselves. I wrote this for the nappy headed girls, the dark skinned girls, the girls with rough feet and hands, the girls that defy the odds.

Chorus
One time for my nappy headed girls
My knotty headed girls
Greased scalp
With the coconut oil
You so Royal
Put ya crown on (7x)
Put ya
Put ya crown on

I'm a black girl
Thick and stacked girl
Made from scratch girl
I'm the unmatched girl
Hard like a diamond
Rare like a pearl
Hips wide cuz I gave birth to the world

Shake yo dreads (4x)
Braid it up (4x)
Twist out (3x)

One time for my nappy headed girls
My knotty headed girls
Greased scalp

Put ya crown on (7x)
Put ya
Put ya crown on

We got that magic hair
That just add water hair
That braid and twist hair
Fist up resist hair
Defies gravity
Don't need no vanity
Wash and go oil up watch me flow

Shake ya dreads (4x)
Braid it up (4x)
Twist out (3x)

Look in the mirror

Looking at locs/Afro/braids
Say I'm too fly fly

One time for my nappy headed girls
My knotty headed girls
Greased scalp
With the coconut oil
You so Royal
Put ya crown on (7x)
Put ya
Put ya crown on
