Unbraid our hair into long strands
Of kaffir tufts
Never forget to oil and unbraid and oil again
Before you bind it straight
Into curls of slavery
Circling our ebony foreheads
We must be likened to Sarah and them
Must_bind_tighter
Never forget to adorn our heads
With waves of lyrical hair
It_must_scale down our shoulders
And hide the kink of our own hair
The pride of the women that came before us
We must be likened to Sally and them
Without hair that grows towards the sun
Must_Cover_our pride
That we may be reckoned upon
With a lighter eye
Must_Bind_Tighter
Never forget to adorn our heads
With the hair of other women
Ours, we can never protect
