Kinky, Nappy, and Ugly

Little black boy and black girl wear your natural hair with love
For years we have been told that our natural hair was kinky, nappy, bad, and ugly
But the truth is our natural hair is strong and beautiful
Little black boy and black girl wear your natural hair with love
Wear your lion's mane and let the world hear you roar
For years we have been told that our natural hair was kinky, nappy, bad, and ugly
But the truth is our natural hair is strong and beautiful.
