Happy to be Nappy




Every time I hear this song it makes me appreciate my decision to go natural even more. Peep the lyrics:

We live from the head down and not the feet up
And I'm adorned with the crown that's making this up
And I'm fine under cloud 9

Yes I wear the lamb's wool, the feet of burned brass
And the wool defies gravity like the nature of a gas
And I'm fine under cloud 9

Twist my cloud and it rain
And when it rains it pours
And the energy will absorb
Power for the metaphysical one

Happy to be nappy, I'm black and I'm proud
That I have been chosen to wear the conscious cloud
And I'm fine under cloud 9

I be a chameleon and wear it bone straight
But it's so much stronger when it's in its natural state
And I'm fine under cloud 9

Twist my cloud and let it rain
And when it rains it pours
And the energy will absorb
Power for the metaphysical one


I've noticed that people are embracing the natural hair more and more. Yes, I still get the ignorant comment like "What? You tryin' to be jamaican? (the hell????) but more often than not, I get random people who come up to me saying "Sista, I love your locs". I'm no longer going to waste energy on those who don't 'get it'. I'm no longer going to tell another "this is what this ignorant so and so said about my hair", because what they say isn't going to change my hair or how I feel about it. I'll spend my energy on those who are open with their minds and spirits. Anyone bringing negativity about my hair or anything else can kick rocks.
