[Verse 2]Good hair means curls and wavesBad hair means you look like a slaveAt the turn of the century Its time for us to redefine who we beYou can shave it off Like a South African beautyOr get in on lockLike Bob MarleyYou can rock it straightLike Oprah WinfreyIf its not what's on your headIts what's underneath and say HEY....
