about

I remember when folks switched from Jheri Curls (remember the yellow activator bottle?) to S Curls, like:
1. There was a difference
2. S Curl was somehow more natural.

TCB is a song that basically says "you can't straighten out your problems with texturizer".

lyrics

Chorus
Who crazier than me/
Except my neighbors from this mental slavery/
It got us caged up, was this all meant to be/
Do you save a slave mind or let it roam free?


All of my peoples rocked Jheri Curls in the eighties/
Now they straighten it out with TCB/
Keep it away from flames, there's no more danger unless you can read/
Between the fingers flipping through a magazine/
Full of strangers to the ghetto/
Like reindeer to the devil/
The same fear that got me carrying heavy metal instead of carrying a spear/
Got me building with Legos instead of steel/
If life's a poker game, my niggas got the raw deal/
Got the raw coke to cook up, the smoke make you look up/
And jump back to Earth like you Superfly Snukka/
The Hood's in a figure four/
I give a little more time before it's Civil War/
Nigga which side you on?

Chorus
