[Intro] Ayy, come closer Let it breathe, let it move [Verse 1] You stepped in with the crown held high Coils drawing circles in the warm night air Every turn got a story inside Every curl says you came prepared Fresh-picked shape, no need to hide Gold hoops swinging when you cross that floor You don’t follow what the room decides You make them look, then you make them want more [Pre-Chorus] Take your time, let the whole room see That kind of beauty comes naturally No appointment with approval needed You wear your roots like you mean it [Chorus] Afro hair, let it rise, let it rise Big joy sitting right above your eyes Afro hair, turn around, turn around Every coil got the whole place spellbound From the crown to the ends, you’re rare Put your hands in the air for that Afro hair [Verse 2] Sunday morning, shea butter shine Comb on the table, music in the kitchen Auntie said, “Baby, take your time” Now you walk out with a brand-new vision Braids today, tomorrow picked out Twist-out framing that fearless smile You can switch it up, no doubt Still yourself in every style [Pre-Chorus] Take your time, let the whole room see That kind of beauty comes naturally No appointment with approval needed You wear your roots like you mean it [Chorus] Afro hair, let it rise, let it rise Big joy sitting right above your eyes Afro hair, turn around, turn around Every coil got the whole place spellbound From the crown to the ends, you’re rare Put your hands in the air for that Afro hair [Bridge] For the ones who were told to make it small Stand tall, stand tall For the ones who learned to love it all Stand tall, stand tall Texture, shape, every strand in place Wear your history across your face No shrinking back, no borrowed stare This is your crown, this is your hair [Final Chorus] Afro hair, let it rise, let it rise Big joy sitting right above your eyes Afro hair, turn around, turn around Every coil got the whole place spellbound From the crown to the ends, you’re rare Put your hands in the air for that Afro hair [Outro] Let it rise Let it move Afro hair That’s you
