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
