Intro
Harmonized Melody

Verse 1
I remember a time
I wished my hair wasn’t mine
Disliked me deep inside
Programmed to self hate
Had to take down the blinds
And let the light inside
Discovered through the lies
My hair was truly divine

Pre chorus
System made to strip and erase
The strength and might we hold in our race
Cut our hair when we were enslaved
Then told us it look better straight
They know it's our power and strength
Hiding it from us to prevent
True knowledge of our decent
But they can’t cuz It's heaven sent

Chorus
Afro, cornrow, locs and all
Black, spring winter summer fall
This was made for all of y’all
This for You
Go through so much with our hair
But It's our crown gorgeous and rare
Power in every style we wear
This for You

Verse 2
Protecting your energy
Provider of inner peace
It holds so much memory
There’s love in Its density
Barrier to crown chakra
It's your healer and doctor
Can build you up when you’re down
It is more than hair it's your crown

Pre chorus
System made to strip and erase
The strength and might we hold in race
Cut our hair when we were enslaved
Then told us it look better straight
They know it's our power and strength
Hiding it from us to prevent
True knowledge of our decent
But they can’t cuz It's heaven sent

Bridge (Melodic Harmony + poem)
Unicorn she is
Unique and rare
When people see her they stop and stare
Unicorn she is
Graceful and fun
Her hair defies gravity and grows up towards the sun
Unicorn she is, magical and brown
Unicorn she is, because her hair is her crown

Chorus
Afro, cornrow, locs and all
Black, spring winter summer fall
This was made for all of y’all
This for You
Go through so much with our hair
But It's our crown gorgeous and rare
Power in every style we wear
This for You
