Africas's a bolling over flowing inside of me
My sister loves her blackness
But Africa keeps coming stronger, we found out
My sister got a brand new perm
But as time passed it didn't last, after my curl I never combed my doo
Africa's inside me taking back her child
She's giving me my pride and setting me free
It ain't a perm, it's a temporary
Universal, as I stroll down my street
I used to sport a curl made by Jerry, a Jerry curl
She's giving me my pride and setting me free
My boys say she looks pretty fine body real firm
I used to sport a cap but the naps kept shining through, shining
But the U.S. said that the perm is the attractiveness
I can tell her white boss gets a kick when she's all done up
Africa's inside me taking back her child
Africa's inside me, taking back her child
Folds at her job loves her new touch up
