Afro (Freestyle Skit) Lyrics

[Intro]
Excuse us, ladies and gentleman
One, two

[Chorus]
You need to pick yo' afro, daddy
Because it's flat on one side
You need to pick yo' afro, daddy
Because it's flat on one side
What you waitin' on?
Well, if you don't pick yo' afro
You're gonna have one side high

[Verse]
Well, you said you was gon' take me to see Wu-Tang, baby
So I braided my hair
Well, yes, you did
You said you was gonna take me to see Wu-Tang, baby
So I braided my hair, yes, I did
Cornrowed and everything, baby
Well, you changed your mind and said we wasn't goin'
But my momma saw you there, yes, she did
Check this out, one time
Well, I be blowin' up yo' pager, daddy
But you never call me back
Well, I be puttin' in 9-1-1, baby
But you never call me back, no, no
See, if you don't know how to use that pager, daddy
I'm gonna take that ho back
Yes I will, you know I'll do it
