Deep Rooted To My Roots

Twisted And Looped.

Intertwined And Interlocked

Deep Rooted It Never Stops.

Nappy And Kinky

Kinky With Naps,

Yet Still Sweet Like Honey Sap.

Thick, Twisted Strands

Gets Tangled Within My Hands,

But The Look Is Of Prestige

Kinda Like Love At First Glance.

Kings And Queens Wear This Crown

The Crown Thats Deep Rooted Into The Ground.

Forever Feeling A Sense Of Pride

Roots Shoot Up Never To Hide,

Head Held High And A Walk With A Glide.

African Queen

Mocha Chocolatte Skin Of Cream

Deep Rooted Like Hopes And Dreams.

The Sense Of Belonging

No Longer Longing

No Longer Trying To Find Self

Pride Is A Trophy Placed Carefully On The Shelf.

Deep Rooted

Intertwined And Interlocked

Soulful Like Jill Scott On A Stage

Strong Like A Mother Raising Three Kids On Minimum Wage.

Its Deeper Than This So Keep Turning The Page.

Its Ketchup Bottle Tight

Its Harriet Tubman's Sleepless Nights

Its Every Unjust Fight

Mother Africa

Shaka Zulu

Its That Nu-nu.

Deep Rooted To The Root

Intertwined And Interlocked

Kings And Queens Rock These Locs.

Its Deeper

Its Deeper

Thick And Nappy

Kinky To The Twist,

Its That Soulful Shit

Erykah Badu India Arie Shit

Having People Taking Second Looks At This Shit

Leaving Lasting Impressions And Shit.

Deep Rooted

Rooted To Deep.

Intertwined And Interlocked

**** What You Think!

Kings And Queens Rock My Locs
