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)
