Discover the story of the song > My Roots Are Showing – Crystal Shawanda

The protagonist is talking about how sometimes she puts in a lot of effort to look good, like matching her nails and lips and wearing tight jeans, but right now she doesn't feel like doing all that. Her partner is coming over and she has her hair in a ponytail holder, which shows her true, natural self. She says that her partner better love her even when she's not all dolled up, or else she'll leave. It's important to her that her partner loves her for who she truly is, and not just how she looks.
