Minnesota first. Head on a swivel. Show love to ya barbers, and not a little. Goin’ up for the parlors, too official. Message this week? Call that an epistle. 

Barber shops round the way hold it down, down. Cut them naps all the way to the ground ground. Message in the music, that’s surround sound. Make waves, then fade into the background. 

Got a message of the night, and it’s profound. Keri Hilson explains why she got no frowns. Travis Scott said he making his own now. Got it all lined up, I know you so proud.

Cuttin’ up in music class, or the studio. At your own shop or if you on the go. This is for the Black barbershops and now you know. We showin’ up for our barbers no ‘no show.’
