Bougie

An Afro---you're a rebel.
Rock dreads---now you're a thug.
Corn Rows---Column: Devil.
Wear weave---don't show your mug.

Straight hair---it can't be yours!
Good God, you're being bougie.
And now you cut it short---
Must be on active duty.

I'm glad that we can't win---
Yet make us play the game.
That "white" man has "black" hair!
Still think we look the same?
