beauty supply Lyrics by Noname

[Chorus]
Take a trip with me to the beauty supply
I know you can’t stand it, but fine
Man, if I’m cryin’, cry
Take a trip with me to the beauty supply
I know you can’t stand it, but fine
Man, if I’m cryin’, cry

[Verse 1]
Fresh out the box, a bundle, two fifty
Rapunzel make pennies, the market share plenty
The feminist in me don’t bat no eye
Support the black business, no compromise
A lot of self say this is self love
To braid my hair down and masquerade us
Because I just wanna be the love of my life
Set aside my own standard and really demand hers
Silly and absurd, wearin’ a fur cap wig hat
And then preach I love everything black
I know this ain’t cap, it’s cap
We cap the track, sabotage, I’mma hold me back, like

[Pre-Chorus]
New identity, same enemy, me
When I believe in prettier with my weave
When I could see the forest behind the trees
I’ll be free, I’ll be free, I’ll be free

[Chorus]
Take a trip with me to the beauty supply
I know you can’t stand it, but fine
Man, if I’m cryin’, cry
Take a trip with me to the beauty supply
I know you can’t stand it, but fine
Man, if I’m cryin’, cry

[Verse 2]
Yo, let me down by the edge of the river
Pray to god that my edges deliver a good look
Infantile baby hair make the men look
Eurocentric look-book, residential forever
We live in a momentary lapse of judgement
Black concussion, asleep at the wheel
We trusted the plantation to drive us home
Hallelujah, I idolize a white bitch
While I rock a toupee

[Pre-Chorus]
Cosplay a new identity, same enemy, me
When I believe I’m prettier with my weave
When I could see the forest behind the trees
I’ll be free, I’ll be free, I’ll be free
New identity, same enemy, me
When I believe I’m prettier with my weave
When I could see the forest behind the trees
I’ll be free, I’ll be free, I’ll be free
[Chorus]
Take a trip with me to the beauty supply
I know you can’t stand it, but fine
Man, if I’m cryin’, cry
Take a trip with me to the beauty supply
I know you can’t stand it, but fine
Man, if I’m cryin’, cry

[Outro]
Yeah
Take a trip with me
Oh, oh, oh
