Back To My Roots (LP Version)

This is a special shot going out

To my mama, Ms, Ernestine Charles

Mama used to do people hair in the kitchen

Press and curl hot curlers, everything

I love you, mama

Black hair is a revolution

Cornrows, uh uh honey

I am tender-headed

Jheri curls, style sophistication

Afro puff, ah, ooh, ah, ah, ooh, ah

Hair weave, call her Miss Ross

Braids, pride, respect

Extensions more of a 90s fashion

Asymmetrical shroom, banji girl

I'm going back, back, back to my roots

Where my love can be found

And my heart rings true

I'm going back, back, back to my roots

To the time and the place

Coming back to you

I'm going back, back, back to my roots

Where my love can be found

And my heart rings true

I'm going back, back, back to my roots

To the time and the place

Coming back to you

Black hair is a revolution

Finger wave, a classic extravaganza

Press and curl, never mix, never worry

Flat top fade, very contemporary

Nail sculpture, urban distinction

Hot comb, ouch mama, that was my ear

Blow out kits, oh, oh tamba

No lye relaxer

Fried dyed and laid to the side

I'm going back, back, back to my roots

Where my love can be found

And my heart rings true

I'm going back, back, back to my roots

To the time and the place

Coming back to you

I'm going back, back, back to my roots

Where my love can be found

And my heart rings true

I'm going back, back, back to my roots

To the time and the place

Coming back to you

Black hair is

Now mama got her own

Salon down on Auburn Ave

And if you wanna know

What's happening in Atlanta

Just go to the salon

Thats to you and all yall down there

Brothers and sisters

Miss Earlene, Lizzy Dean, Renetta

Little baby boy, tone tone

Leonard, K-Ron, Cornisha

Peace to all my brothers and sisters

Peace, love and hair grease

A revolution a revolution a revolution

I'm going back, back, back to my roots

Where my love can be found

And my heart rings true

I'm going back, back, back to my roots

To the time and the place

Coming back to you

I'm going back, back, back to my roots

Where my love can be found

And my heart rings true

I'm going back, back, back to my roots

To the time and the place

Coming back to you

Black hair is
