[00:23.40]I used to sport a curl made by Jerry
[00:24.749]A Jerry curl
[00:25.809]But as time passed it didn't last
[00:27.389]After my curl I never combed my doo
[00:29.319]I used to sport a cap but the naps
[00:31.09]Kept shining through
[00:35.08]Shining
[00:36.158]My sista got a brand new perm
[00:38.387]My boys says she looks pretty
[00:39.516]Fine body real firm

[00:47.56]But the US
[00:47.906]Says that her perm is her attractiveness
[00:49.886]But Africa keeps coming stronger
[00:51.376]We found out
[00:52.146]It ain't a perm it's a temporary
[00:54.216]Don't heve sash to go to the music school
[00:56.356]No money for the guitar or the violin or the tuba
[00:58.466]My moms had a record player and the 45's
[01:00.596]I put the needle on the record
[01:01.956]And I kicked it crazy live
[01:03.06]Scratching it up catching the breaks
[01:05.515]Spirits within me had me do what it takes

[01:50.313]Papa may say buy my soul is a boilin'
[01:52.583]And sooner or later Africa's glory and toil
[01:54.443]Will teach an old dog new tricks
[01:56.393]Why and the world can't everybody
[01:58.613]Recognize that Africa's in everybody
[02:00.893]We all ask why can't we be sista's and brothers
[02:03.283]But first we gotta accept who is our mother
[02:05.413]Rather embracer of the jungle
[02:08.483]Or ghetto melanin dwells but could stop growth
[02:10.703]And developments Arrested for nothing
