Da daduh da daduh da Da daduh da daduh da Ya' self love ya' self love I was a nappy headed kid Running around the crib Momma told me girl Ya' gotta look within Can't be wanting love If you don't even give Yourself love, yourself love I was a nappy headed kid Running around the crib Momma told me girl Ya' gotta look within Can't be wanting love If you don't even give Yourself love, yourself love Insecure about my nose While wearin' those baggy clothes That were hand me downs From cousin who weren't Showing me love then I wanted more than nothing But a fresh pair J's Even begged my momma To add length to my braids I was sure, it was the cure To defining myself Never questioned whether it was A detriment to my health Looking back, I'm such a shame I wasn't loving myself Brown skin who was seeking Want to be Puerto Rican Cause they hair got curly And my shit kinked up Why my eyes stay brown But her shit change up I wanna know right now If I play make-up And put a dress on Could I address her With these confessions That I quite amazed by her beauty I know I, shouldn't feel How I feel, but its truly Something I can't escape Something I gotta face Look in the mirror, I wouldn't dare her Cause her self esteem Looks her back in her face I was a nappy headed kid Running around the crib Momma told me, girl Ya' gotta look within Can't be wanting love If you don't even give Yourself love, yourself love I was a nappy headed kid Running around the crib Momma told me girl Ya' gotta look within Can't be wanting love If you don't even give Yourself love, yourself love Uh Tomboy of the neighborhood Steady shooting them hoops Daddy wanted me in a skirt With them name plate hoops Wanted a pair of K Swiss's For the school year, but all I could afford Was some LA Gear, light em' up light em' up whenever I walked by Such shame I was plain, we couldn't afford fly cause my parents had five Nappy headed kids, growing up so confused Cause my sister was mixed I know I, should be grateful For things that we had But imagine what I felt Being the joke of the class, such a clown When I revisit the ghost of my past A wannabe bougie, I wanted a coogi Sweater remember, how could you forget her She still lives inside of me I swear that I hear her, I look in the mirror I'm seeing her clearer Take a look in the mirror I'm seeing me clearer I was a nappy headed kid Running around the crib Momma told me, girl Ya' gotta look within Can't be wanting love If you don't even give Yourself love, yourself love I was a nappy headed kid Running around the crib Momma told me, girl Ya' gotta look within Can't be wanting love If you don't even give Yourself love, yourself love Skinnie Minnie was the name That they gave me And my sperm donor Wouldn't even claim me So how could, I believe That there was beauty outside When all this pain turnt hurt Was just growing inside Like a flower, I was waiting to bloom Had to search for my light Now there's no shade in this room My imperfections only surfaced To acknowledge self love as a service This growth with self love Showed me purpose I wasn't perfect, I wasn't perfect Just a nappy headed kid Runnin' around the crib I was a nappy headed kid Running around the crib Momma told me, girl Ya' gotta look within Can't be wanting love If you don't even give Yourself love, yourself love I was a nappy headed kid Running around the crib Momma told me, girl Ya' gotta look within Can't be wanting love If you don't even give Yourself love, yourself love
