Lyrics
Got to get up and start my day
Emphasis on the need to start the day
Got to get up and make my braids
Highlighting the act of making braids as a routine
Got to get up let’s do this babe
Encouragement to initiate activities with enthusiasm
Stop
Command to stop
Press Play
Command to start or resume
Boys with braids, girls with braids, they with braids ha
Celebrating individuals with braids regardless of gender
Boys with braids, girls with braids, they with braids ha
-Boys with braids, girls with braids, they with braids ha
-Boys with braids, girls with braids, they with braids ha
-Don’t let them cut your hair
Advising against cutting one's hair
And yes they might stop and stare
Acknowledging potential attention or judgment
But you got to get back
Encouragement to persevere despite challenges
You got to get that
Emphasizing the importance of reclaiming something
Cause the longer that it grows
Linking hair growth to personal journey or identity
The closer you are to your soul
Expressing the idea that longer hair connects to the soul
Let it grow
Repetition urging the growth of the soul
Let it grow
-Let it grow
-Your soul
-Your soul
-You soul
-Let it grow
Continuation of the theme of soul growth through hair
Let it grow
-Let it grow
-Your soul
-Your soul
-You soul
-Got to get up and start my day
Reiteration of the need to start the day and make braids
Got to get up and make my braids
-Got to get up let’s do this babe
-Stop
Command to stop
Let’s dance
Encouragement to dance or engage in joyful activities
Got to get up and start my day
Repetition of the morning routine with a dance break
Got to get up and make my braids
-Got to get up let’s do this babe
-Stop
-Press play
-Got to get up and start my day
Final repetition of the morning routine
Got to get up and make my braids
-Got to get up let’s do this babe
-Press stop
Command to stop, possibly indicating the end of a cycle or routine
