A Black Girl and her braids A Black Girl and her braids Can't tell her nothin' Please don't touch it You know she looks amaze A Black Girl and her braids A Black Girl and her braids Protective style for a while It's one that always slays A Black Girl and her braids be the best When you see her with the fresh extensions Know that she is blessed No stress From having to do her hair when she wake up Can just throw on some makeup and go Or no Bare face and braids is a look too honey Have her feeling so free even though that style Prolly set her back some money But it's a sound investment Cuz a Black Girl and braids goes best wit' Everything Doorknockers and red lips Everything Sundress with full hips Everything Slaying the red carpet Everything But sometimes they give us grief Say we can't rock braids and write a legal brief Maybe we can be the executive assistant But with braids we could never be chief Cuz for some reason they feel braids can't be corporate Rather see me forfeit my time to twist my hair every night Or straighten my coils for Karen Cuz the kinkiness in my cubicle To her just don't sit right If I adjust my crown to look more White That will relax her That's why we must pass the Crown Act everywhere Cuz we can reign with cornrows or a relaxer I want my hair in a box not me A Black girl and her braids be the definition of free At night she can just go lay down like her baby hairs Ain't got to worry 'bout nothin' else Cuz a Black woman's got enough cares Braids are not superficial they're beneficial And we don't need no White girl on TikTok To validate our flyness cuz we been official Whether you go to the Africans or Keisha in 5B If she know what she doin' It's gon' be tight Just make sure she don't grip too strong Cuz if she do it's gon' be tight And that's the type of Black on Black Crime our community cannot withstand We've lost too many edges from the weight of a heavy hand But sometimes our sistas are willing to just pay that price Cuz that fresh out the chair crispness be feeling too nice Feel like Christmas cuz these braids be a gift Make you swing them back and forth like you turned into a gif You say you wanna protect Black women Well braids be a protective style no cap You wanna give her joy Well then scratch in between her parts with a pen cap Ooooo that joint be bliss Feels as good as when I step out the shop with a fresh set of knotless Or goddess Or maybe just some straightbacks for vacation We gon' get it braided up for any occasion Rooted in Africa it's a style that never fades Ain't nothin in this world like a Black Girl and her braids
