Back to My Roots Lyrics

This is a special shot going out
To my mama, Ms. Ernestine Charles
Mama used to do people hair in the kitchen
Press and curl hot curlers, everything
I love you, mamaBlack hair is a revolution
Cornrows, uh,uh honey, I am tender-headed
Jheri curls, style sophistication
Afro puff, ah, ooh, ah, ah, ooh, ahHair weave, call her Miss Ross
Braids, pride, respect
Extensions more of a 90s fashion
Asymmetrical shroom, banji girlIm going back, back, back to my roots
Where my love can be found and my heart rings true
Im going back, back, back to my roots
To the time and the place, coming back to youBlack hair is a revolution
Finger wave, a classic extravaganza
Press and curl, never mix, never worry
Flat top fade, very contemporaryNail sculpture, urban distinction
Hot comb, ouch mama, that was my ear

Blow out kits, oh, oh tamba
No lye relaxer, fried dyed and laid to the sideIm going back, back, back to my roots
Where my love can be found and my heart rings true
Im going back, back, back to my roots
To the time and the place, coming back to youNow mama got her own salon down on Auburn Ave.
And if you wanna know whats happening in Atlanta
Just go to the salon, thats to you and all yall down there
Brothers and sisters, Miss Earlene, Lizzy Dean, RenettaLittle baby boy, tone tone, Leonard, K-Ron, Cornisha
Peace to all my brothers and sisters
Peace, love and hair grease
