VERSE 1

Fro be it
You ridicule me
With chants of not forgotten hatred
Fro be it
You fail to observe
The white behind these clouded eyes
The magical fusion of afrocentricity with aristocracy
That flowed through the generational tree
Materializing into what's me

CHORUS

I be fro (I'll be fro-ing)
Fro be me
It's a lifelong friend to me
I be fro (I'll be fro-ing)
Fro be me
It's a lifelong friend to me
I be fro (I'll be fro-ing)
Fro be me
It's a lifelong friend to me
I be fro (I'll be fro-ing)
Fro be me
It's a lifelong friend to me (X2)

VERSE 2

God forbid
I took on the styles
Of those who bull whipped our mothers
God forbid
I wore my hair
Like those who had us balled & chained
What would the legacy be
That i leave behind for my children
Saying be proud of who you are
But not looking in their eyes

CHORUS

I be fro (I'll be fro-ing)
Fro be me
It's a lifelong friend to me
I be fro (I'll be fro-ing)
Fro be me
It's a lifelong friend to me
I be fro (I'll be fro-ing)
Fro be me
It's a lifelong friend to me
I be fro (I'll be fro-ing)
Fro be me
It's a lifelong friend to me (X2)

Chi Ankh Spoken word)

My Afro is wild
Like solar flares
With no care
It strays like a child
Curling into 9's
So Black it's blue
So strong like wires
Connecting my inner being
To the outer seed
Expressing the unseen
Like a Halo shimmering
In the Sun
Reflecting and collecting
All Rays
These Roots are Kingly
So they call it kinky
Breaking and snapping combs
That try to come near me
Barbers fear me
These roots are full of carbon Phosphorus
Reminding me my lineage is prosperous
My crown has many stems
Like the tree of life

(Empress Emelda's Spoken Word)

Saturday rise it comes as no surprise,
Protesting against that pik that is raised to my braided crown,
Fear of those plastic teeth makes it hard to sit down.
Pushed between legs,
Head facing ground,
As instant as rain upon the African plane,
I hear that crackling sound.
Tearing through root to unwound tip,
I push out my lower lip at the vigour of that pik.
Temple pressed against knee,
The wrapping over of slender fingers
Securing temporary structure
To the untamed me...
