Perm It Up Lyrics

PAT IT, PAT IT - What up?

Girl, where are you?

I'm right here!

You said you'ves right around da corner

Calm down. Oooh, I gotta get this perm! I just wanna scratch!
*Scratches scalp dramatically*
Ooooh, that felt good; lemme hurry up
Oooh! Garry, I here! Oooooh!!!
Child, my hair is a hot mess. Come on!

Oooh - oooh, it's burnin'!
(Haha, gettin' a perm, she sweat)
Ooooh, Jesus! MY HEAD IS ON FIIIIRRRREEE!!! (Barber laughs)
Oooh, I can't take it!

Oooh, it's burnin'!
*Lots of hollering between them*
I feel like it's so straight!
Yah can't be mad at me
Huh?
Yah can't be mad at me 'cause this color in ya hair
What ya talkin' about?
*Different pitches and decimals of screeching*
Oh, I'mma 'bout to beat yo a-
*Interupted by an "All Rolls Everything" cameo*
Perm it up, Perm it up watch it all fall out
Sew it up, Sew it up cuz it won't grow out
Perm it up, Perm it up watch it all fall out
Sew it up, Sew it up cuz it won't grow out

Broke up a fight with two my friends (Still got my weave in)
Bump my toe and hit my head (Still got my weave in)
Crash my car into a pole (Still got my weave in)
Try to fix my hair while goin' home (Still got my weave in)

(Not sure) go round and round (Still got my weave in)
Band make my hair stay down (Still got my weave in)
8 weeks; my hair ain't done (Still got my weave in)
I'm still broke but I need a hot comb (Still got my weave in)

A local resident describes her horrifying experience when she first realized her head was on fire

"Well, I got up from gettin' me a fresh perm and I thought someone was barbequin'. And I said "Oh Lord Jesus my head is on fire!" And I ran. I didn't grab no shoes or nothin', Jesus, I ran for that sink! Then the fumes got me. I got alopecia. Ain't nobody got time for that!"

Noooooo Nooooooo!
My hair won't grow back ain't nobody got time for that
Floooow Floooow!
That's why I got these tracks flowin' flowin' down my back
It's burnin' burnin' up
My head feel like it's on fire
Perm it up, Perm it up (Perm up)
Watch it all fall out (Fall out)
Sew it up, Sew it up (Sew up)
Cuz it won't grow out (Grow out)

Perm it up, Perm it up (Perm up) (Hey!)
Watch it all fall out (Fall out)
Sew it up, Sew it up (Sew up)
Cuz it won't grow out (Grow out)

(Eyy) Cuz it won't grow out
(Eyy) Been like 2 months now
(Eyy) It needs to come out

Rentals cost a hundred bills (Still got my weave in)
That's why I catch the two-in-one sale (Still got my weave in)
Who cares if you say it ain't real (Still got my weave in)
I bought it so it's my hair (Still got my weave in)

I just pump it up, yeah I love that smell (Still got my weave in)
That (Moor Horse?) at Taco Bell (Still got my weave in)
Deep wave in a 24 inch (Still got my weave in)
I wear it long with all my friends (Still got my weave in)

Noooooo Nooooooo!
My hair won't grow back ain't nobody got time for that
Floooow Floooow!
That's why I got these tracks flowin' flowin' down my back
It's burnin' burnin' up
My head feel like it's on fire
Perm it up, Perm it up (Perm up)
Watch it all fall out (Fall out)
Sew it up, Sew it up (Sew up)
Cuz it won't grow out (Grow out)

(Eyy) Cuz it won't grow out
(Eyy) Been like 2 months now
(Eyy) It needs to come out
