When you look at me, i know you see

a 15 year old, gettin his dough

back and fourth to the studios

hoppin outta limosines, rockin the latest jeans

jordans, fresh, t-shirt, new

and even though these things are true

its hard work and sometimes i just wanna go home and...

tell my girl to braid my hair...



[chorus]

C'mon and braid my hair

back in my hood, feelin good

no worries or no cares

baby, use your hands to make me feel alrite

and take away the stress and drama in my life

while you braid my hair



You may think that im complainin

but thats not the case, all im sayin

is my body gets weak, my mind gets tired

i need sleep, but i gotta keep travelin on the road

doin these shows, new york to cali

dallas to philly

its the rules of the game, that i chose to play

but sometimes i wanna say

baby wont you braid my hair...



[chorus]

C'mon and braid my hair

back in my hood, feelin good

no worries or no cares

baby, use your hands to make me feel alrite

and take away the stress and drama in my life

while you braid my hair



Sit me down like you love me

do it anyway you want, baby take it slowly

front to back, side to side, criss cross

get creative with it girl do your thang

put it down like you love me

let your fingers do the walkin

and your lips do the talkin in my ear

tell me what i wanna hear

i swear, i cant wait for you to braid my hair...



[chorus]

C'mon and braid my hair

back in my hood, feelin good

no worries or no cares

baby, use your hands to make me feel alrite

and take away the stress and drama in my life

while you braid my hair



Do what you wanna do

baby its up to you

sit me between your legs

girl wont you braid my hair

baby make me feel allright

and make it last all nite

(and take away the stress and drama in my life
