The most beautiful thing on the planet

Is the natural black woman?z hair

So it was so unfair

To tell u it was unattractive, unprofessional, and uncared

Truth is

We was scared

Because black womenz hair

Representz diversity and strength

Whether u rocking a teeny-weeny afro

Or something shoulder-length

Black women be goddessez

Tressed in coilz and kinkz

And if our African women are going to be treated as queenz

Then we need to recognize that it?z their natural hair

That breedz confidence, pride, and self-esteem

Napptural hair is about more than fashion

It?z about physical and spiritual well-being

Afro puff equalz self-love

And you?d be surprised how a head full a twistz

Can connect u to what your history is

And if we took the time to learn about corn rowz

We wouldn?t call y?all queenz hoez

Because you?re worth so much more than how u look

And yet u still keep holding up the whole community

Despite all the mistreatment you?ve took

So go ahead

Take the plunge

And do the big chop

And let?z raise these shortyz with some Bantu knotz

Because this is the last generation of black women

That are gonna be raised thinking

That what they were born with isn?t beautiful

U are beautiful

U are intimidatingly beautiful

And I?ll give my life fighting anyone who tellz u different

U can search the universe

U will not find anything more diverse

Than the natural black womanz hair

So I wanna spend my life seeing yourz grow

Whether u want to loc it or pick it out in a fly afro

I wanna see it grow

Because every day I see another natural woman

I see the black community growing in strength

I know sometimez u get frustrated

Thinking how long?z it gonna take to get back to this length

Or damn

What would my napz be like if I never relaxed?em to begin

Keep ya head up

Cause that don?t matter

If u a natural black woman

U are royal and respected

Tightly coiled

Highly textured

And as the leaderz of the black community

You?re gonna dictate what this future?z gone be

So never be ashamed of who u are

U represent everything in life that makez me care

U possess the most beautiful thing on the planet

The natural black woman?z hair. . .
