Rosemary L. Finley - My kinky hair lyrics

1. (Quatrain): My Kinky Hair by Rosemary L. Finley My Kinky Hair A source of pride my Negro womanhood that some cannot abide as if they really understood My Kinky Hair I create and develop what kind of consciousness I want I wont don't be enveloped but others who hate and taunt This is Our History all in Black when does it become your story too? even if, melanin, you lack My Kinky Hair Kinky, curly, coiled, combed and conked When does the world really see What all people really want To be appreciated, unchained and free My Kinky Hair Oiled, pressed, plaited and brushed Never hurried or rushed
