Inspirational Friday: Happy to be Nappy

Happy to be Nappy written by my cousin Toy Wheeler

HAPPY TO BE NAPPY

YOU SAY NAPPY

I SAY NATURAL

YOU SAY KINKY

I SAY FACTUAL

THE WAY THAT MY

HAIR GROWS FROM

THE ROOT SWEETHEART

THAT IS NOTHING

BUT THE HONEST TO GOD

TRUTH

YOU SAY BOHEMIAN

I SAY IT’S ME AGAIN

EMBRACING MYSELF

LOVING ALL OF ME

LIFTING MYSELF FROM

THOSE MAN MADE TOXINS

AND SETTING MY HAIR FREE

YOU SAY BEADY BEADS

I SAY CHILE PLEASE

LETS SEE YOU WALK IN

THE RAIN WITH THAT

WEAVE

SEE YOU KEEP THEM

EDGES STRAIGHT WHEN

YOU TRYING TO GET YOUR

FREAK ON

HOLDING HIS HANDS

ON YOUR HIPS TO KEEP

THEM FROM ROAMING ON

THE NATURAL ME IS

JUST THAT ME

MY CHOICE TO BE FREE

YOU KEEP ON MOVING

AND DOING WHAT ENHANCES

YOU

BUT GIRL PLEASE DON’T

GO THERE TALKING ABOUT

MY DO…

Keep the Faith!

Until next time,
