Description: I wrote this track after seeing a 3 year old African child with a blonde weave sewn into her head. I thought about how early we learn to hate ourselves. I wrote this for the nappy headed girls, the dark skinned girls, the girls with rough feet and hands, the girls that defy the odds.

lyrics

Chorus
One time for my nappy headed girls
My knotty headed girls
Greased scalp
With the coconut oil
You so Royal
Put ya crown on (7x)
Put ya
Put ya crown on

Verse
I'm a black girl
Thick and stacked girl
Made from scratch girl
I'm the unmatched girl
Hard like a diamond
Rare like a pearl
Hips wide cuz I gave birth to the world

Pre chorus
Pat'cha fro (4x)
Shake yo dreads (4x)
Braid it up (4x)
Twist out (3x)

Chorus
One time for my nappy headed girls
My knotty headed girls
Greased scalp
With the coconut oil
You so Royal
Put ya crown on (7x)
Put ya
Put ya crown on

Verse 2
We got that magic hair
That just add water hair
That braid and twist hair
Fist up resist hair
Defies gravity
Don't need no vanity
Wash and go oil up watch me flow
Pat my fro

Patcha fro (4x)
Shake ya dreads (4x)
Braid it up (4x)
Twist out (3x)

Bridge
Look in the mirror
Say I'm too fly fly
I'm too fly fly
I'm too fly fly
Looking at locs/Afro/braids
Say I'm too fly fly
I'm too fly fly
I'm too fly fly

Chorus
One time for my nappy headed girls
My knotty headed girls
Greased scalp
With the coconut oil
You so Royal
Put ya crown on (7x)
