Lyrics Back to My Roots - Ru Paul
This
is
a
special
shout
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-ooh)
Hair
weave
(call
her
Miss
Ross)
Braids
(pride,
respect)
Extensions
(more
of
a
90s
fashion)
Asymmetrical
shroom
(banji
girl)
I'm
going
back,
back,
black
to
my
roots
Where
my
love
can
be
found
and
my
heart
rings
true
I'm
going
back,
back,
black
to
my
roots
To
the
time
and
the
place,
coming
back
to
you
I'm
going
back,
back,
black
to
my
roots
Where
my
love
can
be
found
and
my
heart
rings
true
I'm
going
back,
back,
black
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
(ooh,
ooh
tamba)
No-lye
relaxer
(fried
dyed
and
laid
to
the
side)
I'm
going
back,
back,
black
to
my
roots
Where
my
love
can
be
found
and
my
heart
rings
true
I'm
going
back,
back,
black
to
my
roots
To
the
time
and
the
place,
coming
back
to
you
I'm
going
back,
back,
black
to
my
roots
Where
my
love
can
be
found
and
my
heart
rings
true
I'm
going
back,
back,
black
to
my
roots
To
the
time
and
the
place,
coming
back
to
you
Black
hair
is...
Now
mama
got
her
own
salon
down
on
Auburn
Avenue
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,
Leonard,
K-Ron,
Cornisha
Peace
my
brothers
and
sisters
Peace,
love
and
hair
grease
A
revolution,
a
revolution
A
re-
re-,
a
revolution
I'm
going
back,
back,
black
to
my
roots
Where
my
love
can
be
found
and
my
heart
rings
true
I'm
going
back,
back,
black
to
my
roots
To
the
time
and
the
place,
coming
back
to
you
I'm
going
back,
back,
black
to
my
roots
Where
my
love
can
be
found
and
my
heart
rings
true
I'm
going
back,
back,
black
to
my
roots
To
the
time
and
the
place,
coming
back
to
you
Black
hair
is...
