A Low lying locs
All frocks of beautiful ‘fro
A crown of African beauty

Like coils, forming a shield
The fullness, upon our crown
Well worn, like a crown

Once seen, whatever it’s name
It's recognized, when seen at our napes
As ours alone, our head’s drape

Its tightness, our unity
Its kinkiness, shows our stubbornness
To hold on, to our roots.

Hair spun, like twines of a new shoot
Sprung out, from a soil
As fertile as our scalps.

Whatever the fullness, it nests our pride
Whatever the colour, it alludes our pride
Whatever the texture, it nurtures our pride

Its elasticity, shows our resilience
It's an inheritance, which is our heritage
From generations long, before our generation.

In a hurry-furry, not a tory-rory.
Like oldies goldies, an oldie but goodie
Once scarry, now gloried
