chorus
Take a trip with me to the beauty supply ('ply, 'ply)
I know you can't stand it, we fine (fine, fine)
Take a trip with me to the beauty supply ('ply, 'ply)
I know you can't stand it, we fine (fine, fine)
verse
Fresh out the box, a bundle, two fifty
Rapunzel make pennies, the market share plenty
The feminist in me don't bat no eye
Support the black business, no compromise
verse
A lot of self say this is self-love
To braid my hair down and masquerade us
Because I just wanna be the love of my life
Set aside my own standard and really demand hers
Silly and absurd, wearin' a fur cap wig hat
And then preach I love everything black
I know this ain't cap, it's cap
We cap the track, sabotage, I'ma hold me back, like
pre-chorus
Ah, new identity, same enemy, me
When I believe in prettier with my weave
When I could see the forest behind the trees (ah, ah, ah, ah, ah)
I'll be free, I'll be free, I'll be free
chorus
Take a trip with me to the beauty supply ('ply, 'ply)
I know you can't stand it, we fine (fine, fine)
Take a trip with me to the beauty supply ('ply, 'ply)
I know you can't stand it, we fine (fine, fine)
verse
Yo, let me down by the edge of the river
Pray to god that my edges deliver a good look
Infantile baby hair make the men look
Eurocentric look-book, residential forever
We live in a momentary lapse of judgement
Black concussion, asleep at the wheel
We trusted the plantation to drive us home
Hallelujah, I idolize a white bitch
verse
Cosplay a new identity, same enemy (me)
When I believe I'm prettier with my (weave)
When I could see the forest behind the (trees)
I'll be free, I'll be free, I'll be free
New identity, same enemy (me)
When I believe I'm prettier with my (weave)
When I could see the forest behind the (trees) (ah, ah, ah, ah, ah)
I'll be free, I'll be free, I'll be free
pre-chorus
Take a trip with me to the beauty supply ('ply, 'ply)
I know you can't stand it, we fine (fine, fine)
Take a trip with me to the beauty supply ('ply, 'ply)
I know you can't stand it, we fine (fine, fine)
Man, if I'm cryin', cry (cry)
