Speech Debelle - Braided Hair Lyrics

[Chorus: Neneh Cherry + Speech]

Yo we all got things that hangin about

Things that make us cool, things that make us whack

Things that make us mad

Things we wish we never had... done

But they're just the things that make us real

Not the maps to guide where we go from here

The road twists and braids like hair

Until we all get there

[Verse 2:]

I like that I don't know some mysteries

Ancient things and beginnings

Excited 'bout the day when I don't have to hear all the theories

My scalp needs some grease

In the same place where the cross is burned

The same place where the loss was earned

The only way we all can learn

Is if we have these brais with the twists and turns

[Chorus]

[Verse 3: Neneh Cherry]

Walkin in the race of life, lookin for my own pace

Not always wantin to, but I have to

Sometimes feelin like I've bitten off much more than I can chew

But the wind goes though my hair

And lifts me up with ease, not a crease

Hair full of grease, no weave embracin me

It's you I see

I am you and you are me I see, yeah

[African chanting interlude]

I am you and you are me I see, yeah

[Speech: repeat to fade]

We might survive as brothers yeah or perish here as fools

Go place your bets; but don't bet too soon

Yeah you might find me in another, feels like someone you once knew

You know that face, yeah we all do
