Back To My Roots Lyrics - Singles - Rupaul

this is a special shot going out to my mama, ms. ernestine charles. 

mama used to do people hair in the kitchen, 

press and curl, hot curlers, everything, 

i love you mama 

black hair is a revolution 

cornrows... uh, uh honey, i am tender-headed 

jheri curls... style sophistication 

afro puff... ah ooh ah, ah ooh ah 

hair weave... call her miss ross 

braids... pride, respect 

extensions... more of a 90's fashion 

asymmetrical shroom... banji girl

i'm going back, back, back to my roots 

where my love can be found and my heart rings true 

i'm going back, back, back to my roots 

to the time and the place, coming back to you 

black hair is a revolution 

finger wave... a classic extravaganza 

press and curl... never mix, never worry 

flat top fade... very contemporary 

nail sculpture... urban distinction 

hot comb... ouch mama, that was my ear 

blow out kits... oh, oh tamba 

no lye relaxer... fried dyed and laid to the side 

i'm going back, back, back to my roots 

where my love can be found and my heart rings true 

i'm going back, back, back to my roots 

to the time and the place, coming back to you

now mama got her own salon down on auburn ave, 

and if you wanna know what's happening in atlanta 

just go to the salon, that's to you and all y'all down there, 

brothers and sisters, miss earlene, lizzy dean, renetta, 

little baby boy, tone tone, leo-nard, k-ron, cornisha 

peace to all my brothers and sisters, 

peace, love and hair grease
