Tenderheaded Lyrics - Smino

[Chorus] 

How come I can't do what fuck I want do? 

How come, how come? 

Tryna get this skraight, no damn hot comb through 

How come, how come? 

Weavin' through the naps, dreams been on hold 

Since my cradle hit the flo 

Tender head, my denim skrong 

Yea, yea, yea, yeaaaaaah

[Verse 1: Cam O'bi] 

Remember when I was a kiddo, growin' up in the middle 

Windows lining my smile, silver teeth underneath my pillow 

A nigga had a nappy head like a Brillo pad 

Sister said I need to do somethin' about them beedy-beed naps 

Snackin' on Andy Capp's with a pickle and a quarter water 

Walked in the barbershop asked me what I wanted 

I told that man I wanted to look like Superman 

But when he had the long hair 

You know, kinda like Michael Jackson? 

The damn barber just started laughin' 

I cried as he gave me that bald fade 

Afro puffs hit the flo', symbolic of sheddin' my innocence 

I guess I thought they were magicians or alchemists or mathematicians 

With algebraic, calculus algorithms designed to cure me of my nappiness 

Like a perm burned off my happiness, I sat silently acquiescent, pitfalls of adolescence 

Spitballs and scrabble sessions and tattle-tales 

Playing around in the hallway like one of Santa's elves
