" "For All We Know" is a popular song published in 1934, with music by J. Fred Coots and lyric by Sam M. Lewis.
There are alternate verses but the main lyrics start: "For all we know we may never meet again".[1]
Popular versions in 1934 were by Hal Kemp (vocal by Skinnay Ennis) and Isham Jones (vocal by Joe Martin).[2]
The song has been recorded by a host of artists including Al Martino, The Andrews Sisters, Aretha Franklin, Billie Holiday, Crystal Gayle, Dinah Washington, Doris Day, Fran Jeffries, Bette Midler, Nat King Cole, Rod Stewart, and Rosemary Clooney.
The version by Dinah Washington reached #88 on the chart in 1962. A version by The Spinners in 1965 gave it a more contemporary sound.

From https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Donny_Hathaway
"Donny Edward Hathaway (October 1, 1945 – January 13, 1979) was an American soul singer, keyboardist, songwriter, and arranger. Hathaway signed with Atlantic Records in 1969 and with his first single for the Atco label, "The Ghetto", in early 1970, Rolling Stone magazine "marked him as a major new force in soul music."[1] His enduring songs include "The Ghetto", "This Christmas", "Someday We'll All Be Free", "Little Ghetto Boy", "I Love You More Than You'll Ever Know", signature versions of "A Song for You", "For All We Know", "Where Is the Love" and "The Closer I Get to You", two of many collaborations with Roberta Flack. "Where Is the Love" won the Grammy Award for Best Pop Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocals in 1973. At the height of his career, Hathaway was diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia.[2] On January 13, 1979, Hathaway's body was found outside the luxury hotel Essex House in New York City; his death was ruled as suicide.

NPR Series "50 Great Voices" - Donny Hathaway: Neglected Heart Of Soul
TRANSCRIPT, June 21, 2010 12:00 AM ET
Heard on Morning Edition, ALLISON KEYES
"Singer-composer-arranger Donny Hathaway is perhaps best known for his duets with singer Roberta Flack, but the body of solo work he left behind when he died 30 years ago is part of the foundation of American soul music. His songs have influenced performers from R&B singer Alicia Keys to rapper Common to singer-guitarist George Benson.
Hathaway's voice was clear and powerful, and his piano-playing was remarkable in its own right. He exercised uncanny control over both of his instruments. Contemporary singer-songwriter Raul Midon -- often compared to Hathaway -- says Hathaway not only had an incredible voice, but also the technique of a classical singer.
"He's just the strongest soul singer that ever existed," he says. "Call it gospel. Call it soul. Call it whatever you want. That tradition of singing… black singers, African-American singers. He came from that tradition."...

Billy Porter On Historic Emmy Nomination: ‘The Sky Is The Limit Now, Honey!’
"Working on the FX series “Pose,” the openly gay black actor said, “taught me how to dream the impossible.”
By Kimberley Richards, 7/17/2019
Billy Porter is celebrating being recognized for his work on the barrier-breaking FX series “Pose.”
The Tony Award-winning actor earned an Emmy nomination on Tuesday for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Drama Series for his role as ballroom emcee Pray Tell.
He told Deadline that working on “Pose,” which is noted for casting a record number of transgender actors on a TV show, taught him how to “dream the impossible.”
“I’ve always had huge dreams but I realized now that my dreams have been springboarded off of things I have already seen,” Porter said. “They weren’t about dreaming the impossible. They weren’t about dreaming things that didn’t exist.”
“Ryan Murphy, Steven Canals, Brad Falchuk, FX — everybody involved in the show taught me how to dream the impossible,” he added, referring to the show’s creators. “The sky is the limit now, honey!” "...

Featured characters are dancers and models who compete for trophies and recognition in this underground culture, and who support one another in a network of chosen families known as Houses.
Created by Ryan Murphy, Brad Falchuk, and Steven Canals, the series premiered on June 3, 2018, on FX. The series stars an ensemble cast including MJ Rodriguez, Dominique Jackson, Billy Porter, Indya Moore, Ryan Jamaal Swain, Charlayne Woodard, Evan Peters, Kate Mara, James Van Der Beek, Hailie Sahar, Angelica Ross, Angel Bismark Curiel, and Dyllรณn Burnside.
The first season was met with positive reviews upon its premiere and subsequently received numerous award nominations including the Golden Globe Award for Best Television Series – Drama and the Golden Globe Award for Best Actor – Television Series Drama for Billy Porter. In July 2018, it was announced that the series had been renewed for a second season, which premiered on June 11, 2019. Also in June, FX renewed the series for a third season."...

"I would like to say that Farhiya Kabayare And Awale have a great chemistry on the video and i can't rememeber a time where i saw a Somali video where i enjoyed watching it as much as this one. Farhiya has good bubbly personality which boasts everyone's mood and that smile of her is great. If they said nice thing about a Somali town we shouldn't all be jealous or envious because we should all know our fellow brothers live in that town and is ours as much as theirs so Big up to all Somalia."

[Additions and corrections are welcome].
Read comment #28 below that includes the related word "qabiil".
Here's information about Oromo people:
From https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oromo_people
"The Oromo people (Oromo: Oromoo; English: Oromo) are a Cushitic ethnic group inhabiting Ethiopia. They are one of the largest ethnic groups in Ethiopia and represent 34.5% of Ethiopia's population.[8] Oromos speak the Oromo language as a mother tongue (also called Afaan Oromoo and Oromiffa), which is part of the Cushitic branch of the Afro-Asiatic language family."...
Here's an excerpt from a forum discussion about who Oromos are closest to Habesha (Ethiopians and Eritreans) or Somalis):
"...compared to Habeshas, Somalis are more closely related to Oromos.
Oromos and Somalis both speak Cushitic languages, share many similar culture traits, and are genetically related. Oromos also are similarly related to Habeshas. But Somalis share less in common with Habeshas than they do with Oromos."...

Puntland (Somali: Puntlaand, Arabic: ุฃุฑุถ ุงูุจูุท, Italian: Terra di Punt or Paese di Punt), officially the Puntland State of Somalia (Somali: Dowladda Puntland ee Soomaaliya, Arabic: ุจููุชูุงูุฏ ุฏููุฉ ุงูุตูู ุงู), is a region in northeastern Somalia. Centred on the town of Garoowe in the Nugal province, its leaders declared the territory an autonomous state in 1998 but is internationally recognized as an autonomous region of Somalia.[5]

The name "Puntland" is derived from the Land of Punt mentioned in ancient Egyptian sources, although the exact location of the fabled territory is still a mystery.

"I would like to say that Farhiya Kabayare And Awale have a great chemistry on the video and i can't rememeber a time where i saw a Somali video where i enjoyed watching it as much as this one. Farhiya has good bubbly personality which boasts everyone's mood and that smile of her is great. If they said nice thing about a Somali town we shouldn't all be jealous or envious because we should all know our fellow brothers live in that town and is ours as much as theirs so Big up to all Somalia."

Here's information about Oromo people:
From https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oromo_people
"The Oromo people (Oromo: Oromoo; English: Oromo) are a Cushitic ethnic group inhabiting Ethiopia. They are one of the largest ethnic groups in Ethiopia and represent 34.5% of Ethiopia's population.[8] Oromos speak the Oromo language as a mother tongue (also called Afaan Oromoo and Oromiffa), which is part of the Cushitic branch of the Afro-Asiatic language family."...
Here's an excerpt from a forum discussion about who Oromos are closest to Habesha (Ethiopians and Eritreans) or Somalis):
"...compared to Habeshas, Somalis are more closely related to Oromos.
Oromos and Somalis both speak Cushitic languages, share many similar culture traits, and are genetically related. Oromos also are similarly related to Habeshas. But Somalis share less in common with Habeshas than they do with Oromos."...

The Use Of The Term "Nappy Hair" In The Song "Nappy Head" & In The Song "JuJu On The Beat"

ARTICLE EXCERPT ABOUT NAPPY HAIR
From https://www.curlcentric.com/natural-hair-movement/ by Kenneth [No date for this article is given, but comments are posted dating April 21, 2011.]
The natural hair movement is focused on encouraging women with African ancestry to celebrate and enjoy the natural characteristics of their kinky, curly, hair texture.
..."The Term Nappy is Often Considered a Pejorative
“Nappy” is a term that’s been used to describe natural hair since the days of slave trading.
When used to emphasize the difference between natural hair and European hair, it took on a derogatory meaning. Today many African American women are reclaiming the word.
There are some women who identify themselves proudly as “nappy girls” and have given up relaxers and other extreme treatments in favor of growing their hair out in its natural state.
The potential hairstyles available to naturals range from the very simple TWA to more sophisticated styles like bantu knots.
Braids (e.g., box braids and crochet braids), hair twists (e.g., Senegalese twists) and dreadlocks are also common styles.
As you can see opting for natural hair doesn’t necessarily mean abandoning cute hairstyles or even flat ironing your hair.
There is no hard-and-fast rule about which products and styling habits are “natural” and which aren’t natural.
Historical Perspective on Natural Hair
It’s useful to examine the complex relationship between women of African heritage and their hair in a retrospective way, working in reverse chronological order.
2005 saw the promotion of an underground, independent documentary titled “My Nappy Roots: A Journey Through Black Hair-itage”.
The film won many awards on the independent film circuit and played widely at colleges.
The documentary used years of research to uncover the deeper meaning of the term “nappy.”
Covering more than 400 years of history, My Nappy Roots culled the highlights from 200 hours of footage to paint a realistic portrait of Afro hair culture and its journey from Africa to the Americas via the slave trade.
The film’s thorough and unflinching look at the way black hair was manipulated (both literally and metaphorically) made it the definitive work on the subject.
According to tradition, the source of the word “nappy” is tied intimately to the production of cotton on slave plantations.
The tuft of cotton which forms on the plant prior to harvesting is called a nap. The term was adapted to described textured hair because of the supposed similarity to the tuft of cotton.
Due to the power disparity between the slave’s culture and that of their masters, straight “white” hair was cast as desirable while natural hair was demeaned.
This labeling of “good” and “bad” hair grew particularly divisive as mixed-race children became more common. Natural “nappy” hair was firmly cast as unacceptable.
My Nappy Roots, despite its underground popularity, was never released commercially.
The introduction of film on a similar topic (Chris Rock’s 2009 release “Good Hair”) sparked a very well-known lawsuit and finally brought the debate about nappy hair and chemical straighteners into the public spotlight.
[...]
As with earlier trends in textured hair, the natural hair movement has gained momentum today thanks to its adoption by some notable celebrities.
Examples include Erykah Badu, Lupita Nyong’o, Janelle Monรกe, Solange Knowles, Tracee Ellis-Ross and Viola Davis.
Now that “going natural” has turned into a popular trend, manufacturers, and retailers of hair products are seeing sales of harsh hair-straightening chemicals (i.e. relaxers) rapidly decline.
From an all-time high of more than $750 million in sales, the amount of hair relaxers sold has dropped by more than 25 percent in the last five years.
Some future projections estimate that sales will be only 45 percent of their historic high by 2019. Though this particular type of product has fallen out of favor, women who prefer natural hair are spending more on hair care than ever before.
Suppliers and marketers have certainly not let this fact escape their marketing plans. Consumers with natural hair make up a lucrative market for hair products."...

I believe that the use of the term nappy hair as a self-descriptor in the Fugees' 1994 song "Nappy Head" and Zay Hilfigerrr's & Zayion McCall's song "JuJu On The Beat" can be largely attributed to the influence of the natural hair movement in the United States and throughout the world.

I believe that the term "nappy heads" in the Fugees' record with that title is a general colloquial, positive referent for "Black people", substituting for "the n word" (as in Hey, my "n word" - with that word fully spoken) without racist intent). That term is accepted by those it is addressed to, in contrast to its historical use by African Americans as an insult.
I believe that the line "Yo some nappy heads need to check they necks for red" means that some Black people don't accept the current Black street trends, and therefore are suspected of acting like "rednecks" (i.e. White people).

REFERENCE TO "NAPPY HAIR" IN THE 2016 HIP HOP DANCE SONG "JUJU ON THE BEAT (TZ ANTHEM)"
Pancocojams Editor: While "JuJu On The Beat" (TZ Anthem) is technically considered Hip Hop/Trap music, it may be more accurately categorized as a dance trend song with Hip Hop lyrics.
Information about this record
From https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Juju_on_That_Beat_(TZ_Anthem)
""Juju on That Beat (TZ Anthem)" (also known simply as "Juju on That Beat",[1] "Juju on the Beat"[2] and "Juju on dat Beat"[3]) is a song by American hip hop duo Zay Hilfigerrr & Zayion McCall. The song was originally posted to McCall's YouTube channel on July 8, 2016, as a track from his mixtape Why So Serious?, where it received over 18,000 views.[4] It was posted to his channel again on August 11, 2016, where it received over 45 million views.[5] The song became a viral dance challenge.[6] The entire song is a freestyle over the beat of the song "Knuck If You Buck" by Atlanta hip hop group Crime Mob featuring Lil' Scrappy.[7]
The single charted on the US Billboard Hot 100, where it peaked at number 5.[8]
Music video
On November 2, 2016, the music video for Juju on That Beat was uploaded to Zay and Zayion's YouTube channel, The ZayNetwork, where it received over 290 million views.[10] The video is potentially based on the film Neighbors... The video won the 2017 Kids Choice Award for Favorite Music Video.[11]"...
-snip-
The "nappy hairstyle" that Zay Hilfiger wore in the video is multiple short braids with small red beads (or small white beads). Based on my direct experience mostly in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania and based on my online and off-line reading and viewing, while a small number of Black American males (regardless of their age) wore and still wear their hair in multiple short braids, it was and still is rare for beads or any other adornment to be added to males' braided hair. Beaded braids are usually considered a young Black girl's hairstyle*. That said, a young Black male has two beaded braids in his natural (afro) hair in Ayo & Teo's hit 2017 dance tread video "Rolex" and one of those rappers has his hair in unadorned braids (dyed red) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lwk5OUII9Vc. I've also come across one 2019 video of a young adult Black rapper with small braids wearing beads or small clips at the end of those braids. There are probably other examples of Black teenage and young adult men with that beaded hair style, but I don't think that hairstyle is that common.
In Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania anyway, but I think throughout the United States, wearing short or long braids with beads is a very popular hairstyle for Black girls up to around eight years old. I've noticed that after around age eight years old, Black girls stop wearing beads in their hair, and instead have their braids adorned with tiny colored plastic clips, or very narrow gold or silver colored string, or small imitation cowrie shells.
*This custom of only young girls wearing beaded braids is different from the 1970s & 1980s when wearing beads at the end of long braids was a (mostly Black) hairstyle for females from young girls to young women. It was rare for males to wear beads in their braids. Stevie Wonder and Rick James are the males who I can think of who wore that hairstyle.
(Additions and corrections about these hair styles are welcome.)

ARTICLE EXCERPT ABOUT NAPPY HAIR
From https://www.curlcentric.com/natural-hair-movement/ by Kenneth [No date for this article is given, but comments are posted dating April 21, 2011.]
The natural hair movement is focused on encouraging women with African ancestry to celebrate and enjoy the natural characteristics of their kinky, curly, hair texture.
..."The Term Nappy is Often Considered a Pejorative
“Nappy” is a term that’s been used to describe natural hair since the days of slave trading.
When used to emphasize the difference between natural hair and European hair, it took on a derogatory meaning. Today many African American women are reclaiming the word.
There are some women who identify themselves proudly as “nappy girls” and have given up relaxers and other extreme treatments in favor of growing their hair out in its natural state.
The potential hairstyles available to naturals range from the very simple TWA to more sophisticated styles like bantu knots.
Braids (e.g., box braids and crochet braids), hair twists (e.g., Senegalese twists) and dreadlocks are also common styles.
As you can see opting for natural hair doesn’t necessarily mean abandoning cute hairstyles or even flat ironing your hair.
There is no hard-and-fast rule about which products and styling habits are “natural” and which aren’t natural.
Historical Perspective on Natural Hair
It’s useful to examine the complex relationship between women of African heritage and their hair in a retrospective way, working in reverse chronological order.
2005 saw the promotion of an underground, independent documentary titled “My Nappy Roots: A Journey Through Black Hair-itage”.
The film won many awards on the independent film circuit and played widely at colleges.
The documentary used years of research to uncover the deeper meaning of the term “nappy.”
Covering more than 400 years of history, My Nappy Roots culled the highlights from 200 hours of footage to paint a realistic portrait of Afro hair culture and its journey from Africa to the Americas via the slave trade.
The film’s thorough and unflinching look at the way black hair was manipulated (both literally and metaphorically) made it the definitive work on the subject.
According to tradition, the source of the word “nappy” is tied intimately to the production of cotton on slave plantations.
The tuft of cotton which forms on the plant prior to harvesting is called a nap. The term was adapted to described textured hair because of the supposed similarity to the tuft of cotton.
Due to the power disparity between the slave’s culture and that of their masters, straight “white” hair was cast as desirable while natural hair was demeaned.
This labeling of “good” and “bad” hair grew particularly divisive as mixed-race children became more common. Natural “nappy” hair was firmly cast as unacceptable.

Children's Rhymes That Mention People With A Bald Head Or People With Nappy Hair
Edited by Azizi Powell
This pancocojams post presents some examples of children's recreational rhymes that mention people with a bald head or people with nappy hair.

PANCOCOJAMS EDITOR'S NOTE
This compilation isn't meant to be a comprehensive collection of all of these types of rhymes.
Many of the examples of rhymes in this compilation include no demographic information, including no information about the race or ethnicity of those sharing the examples.
Based on their text (words) and structure, I believe that these rhymes originated with African Americans. Versions of certain rhymes in this compilation- particularly "Your (Yo) Mama, Your Daddy, Your Bald headed Granny" have been and continue to be relatively well known among American children regardless of race/ethnicity. Some other rhymes examples included in this may have been chanted by only a limited number of (probably only African American) children within a particular location and within a small period of time.
I consider all of the examples in this collection to be pre-dozens rhymes, i.e. insults [disses] that are chanted by children who, in doing so, are being prepared to engage in dozens challenges. Here's some information about "the dozens":
"The Dozens is a game of spoken words between two contestants, common in black communities of the United States, where participants insult and use other verbal rudeness each other until one gives up. It is customary for the Dozens to be played in front of an audience of bystanders, who encourage the participants to reply with increasingly egregious insults in order to heighten the tension and, consequently, make the contest more interesting to watch....
Comments in the game focus on the opposite player's intelligence, appearance, competency, social status, and financial situation. Disparaging remarks about the other player's family members are common: especially mothers ("yo′ mama...")—to the extent that those outside the African-American community often use the specific term "yo momma jokes" incorrectly to refer to the Dozens.
Commentary is often related to sexual issues, where the game is then referred to as the "Dirty Dozens".[5]
...Both males and females participate, but the game is more commonly played among males of varying social status.[1]
The importance of mothers in African and African-American families is at the heart of the game: insulting someone else's mother is sure to inflame the passions of the other player."

Please add to this collection by sharing examples of these types of rhymes (along with demographic information a-particularly where & when learned, how these rhymes were/are performed and the race/ethnicity of those performing them).

CHILDREN'S RHYMES THAT MENTION PEOPLE WITH A BALD HEAD OR NAPPY HAIR
These rhymes are divided into two different sub-categories. These examples are given in no particular order. Consecutive numbers are assigned to the rhymes in that particular section for referencing purposes only.
PART I- RHYMES THAT MENTION PEOPLE WITH A BALD HEAD
Pancocojams Editor's Note:
In the United States describing children (sometimes excluding babies) as being "bald-headed" or "(having) no hair" is considered an insult in the United States. The desired characteristic for female children, in particular, (including Black females) is to have long hair.
1. HOT SHOT BABY

my daddy
your bald headed granny
she 99
she think she fine
she break it down like frankinstin.
go frankie
go frankie
go, go, go frankie,

"Cocojams.com" is the name of the cultural website that I founded in 2000. Children, teens, and adults submitted examples to the children's rhymes and cheers section of that website which was voluntarily deactivated in October 2014.
-snip-
A few other examples of this rhyme with the words "my mama" etc instead of "your mama" can be found online. However, since these rhymes are supposed to be disses (insults), the correct wording is "your (yo) mama, your daddy, your bald headed granny" and not "my mama" etc. People wouldn't say "my mama" etc. since that would mean that they were insulting themselves.
Here's a YouTube discussion thread comment on a "yo greasy grimy granny" video that supports this position:
"from whut i understand this was derived from basing eg; your momma jokes maybe from socal or NYC... You would start off by saying your momma...and you would return with each line as a comback saying your daddy....and continue with the rest as a comback without the other party knowing what you where going to say...but this was 35 years ago and old"
-Suprahajimoto, 2011, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sBrAKK30dTA2011
-snip-
"Basing" is one of several regional terms for "playing the dozens".
"your mama jokes" means the same thing as "the dozens". These insulting jokes are referred to as "your mama" ("yo mama") because so many of those jokes (insults) begin with the words "Your mama [is] ____".
"Socal" = southern California; NYC = New York City.

"breaks it down" = does his (or her) best dance moves
"dissed" = insulted (disrespected)
Note that the lines after "u just got dissed" are from the "Brickwall Waterfall" insult rhyme.
As an aside, notice the blogger's creative tag name "kno 1" = no one (rather than saying "anonynous").

Daisy, 2009;

My guess is that the words "she wish she had this" refers to either the girl who is chanting's butt or the girl who is chanting's boobs (breasts) as a big butt and big breasts are admired female characteristics. The girl chanting probably switched her hip (to emphasize her butt) or pointed to her breasts while she chanted that line.

*This word is fully spelled out in this example.
This commenter wrote "Yes a lot of these brings back some good memories. I got one though." before she shared this rhyme. She also wrote " Lol. I know. A hawt mess" after she shared that rhyme. "hawt" - "hot" "Hawt mess" means something is "really messy" (in this case, meaning it's really socially unacceptable).
"A shape up" is when a barber or beautician shaves or trims a person hair to remove excess hair in order to achieve a particular shape or style and to achieve a more polished look.

PART II- RHYMES THAT REFER TO NAPPY HAIR
1. My husband actually taught my daughter's a song that he remembered as a child in the late 60s/early 70s.
Hey you, over there, with the nappy nappy hair.
My back is achin' my pants too tight, my bootie shakin' from the left to right
M' Gowa, Black Power, yo' mama needs a shower.
Destroy, little boys, soul sister number nine, sock it to me one more time.
Mmm! Mmm! Mmm!
- GUEST,Shamiere, 24 Mar 04; http://mudcat.org/thread.cfm?threadid=4300 Children's Street Songs
-snip-
A number of lines from this rhyme are found in some other African American originated children's rhymes, particularly "Bang Bang Choo Choo Train" rhymes. However, this is the only example that I've found that includes the line "Hey you, over there, with the nappy nappy hair."

2. I KNOW YOUR HAIR IS NAPPY
I Know Your Hair Is Nappy
But I refuse to lend you my comb
If you have to beg ‘n plea for my Dixie Peach
I don’t mind cause you need it desperately
[Sing to the tune “Ain’t Too Proud To Beg”]

“Ain’t Too Proud To Beg” is a hit 1966 R&B song by The Temptations.
"Dixie Peach" was a very popular brand of hair grease (hair pomade) in the 1950s and 1960s, particularly among Black people in the United States. Click https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pomade for information about hair pomades.
Here's information about the book "Yo' Mama: New Raps, Toasts, Dozens, Jokes, and Children's Rhymes from Urban Black America"
from https://www.amazon.com/Yo-Mama-Toasts-Childrens-America/dp/1592130283
"Collected primarily in metropolitan New York and Philadelphia during the classic era of black street poetry (i.e., during the late 1960s and early 1970s) these raps, signifyings, toasts, boasts, jokes and children's rhymes will delight general readers as well as scholars. Ranging from the simple rhymes that accompany children's games to verbally inventive insults and the epic exploits of traditional characters like Shine and Stagger Lee, these texts sound the deep rivers of culture, echoing two continents. Onwuchekwa Jemie's introductory essay situates them in a globally pan-African context and relates them to more recent forms of oral culture such as rap and spoken word."

PANCOCOJAMS EDITOR'S NOTE
This compilation isn't meant to be a comprehensive collection of all of these types of rhymes.
Many of the examples of rhymes in this compilation include no demographic information, including no information about the race or ethnicity of those sharing the examples.
Based on their text (words) and structure, I believe that these rhymes originated with African Americans. Versions of certain rhymes in this compilation- particularly "Your (Yo) Mama, Your Daddy, Your Bald headed Granny" have been and continue to be relatively well known among American children regardless of race/ethnicity. Some other rhymes examples included in this may have been chanted by only a limited number of (probably only African American) children within a particular location and within a small period of time.
I consider all of the examples in this collection to be pre-dozens rhymes, i.e. insults [disses] that are chanted by children who, in doing so, are being prepared to engage in dozens challenges. Here's some information about "the dozens":
"The Dozens is a game of spoken words between two contestants, common in black communities of the United States, where participants insult and use other verbal rudeness each other until one gives up. It is customary for the Dozens to be played in front of an audience of bystanders, who encourage the participants to reply with increasingly egregious insults in order to heighten the tension and, consequently, make the contest more interesting to watch....
Comments in the game focus on the opposite player's intelligence, appearance, competency, social status, and financial situation. Disparaging remarks about the other player's family members are common: especially mothers ("yo′ mama...")—to the extent that those outside the African-American community often use the specific term "yo momma jokes" incorrectly to refer to the Dozens.
Commentary is often related to sexual issues, where the game is then referred to as the "Dirty Dozens".[5]
...Both males and females participate, but the game is more commonly played among males of varying social status.[1]
The importance of mothers in African and African-American families is at the heart of the game: insulting someone else's mother is sure to inflame the passions of the other player."
Click https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Dozens that link for more information about "the dozens" in African American culture.

Please add to this collection by sharing examples of these types of rhymes (along with demographic information a-particularly where & when learned, how these rhymes were/are performed and the race/ethnicity of those performing them).

CHILDREN'S RHYMES THAT MENTION PEOPLE WITH A BALD HEAD OR NAPPY HAIR
These rhymes are divided into two different sub-categories. These examples are given in no particular order. Consecutive numbers are assigned to the rhymes in that particular section for referencing purposes only.
PART I- RHYMES THAT MENTION PEOPLE WITH A BALD HEAD
Pancocojams Editor's Note:
In the United States describing children (sometimes excluding babies) as being "bald-headed" or "(having) no hair" is considered an insult in the United States. The desired characteristic for female children, in particular, (including Black females) is to have long hair.
1. HOT SHOT BABY
hot shot baby
chicken and gravy
here comes a lady
with a bald head baby
*point to other person* THATS YOU

2. YOUR MAMA MY DADDY YOUR BALD HEADED GRANNY (Version #1)
your mama
my daddy
your bald headed granny
she 99
she think she fine
she break it down like frankinstin.
go frankie
go frankie
go, go, go frankie,
go frankie
go frankie
go, go, go frankie.
-erika, cocojams.com, 10/26/2006
-snip-
"Cocojams.com" is the name of the cultural website that I founded in 2000. Children, teens, and adults submitted examples to the children's rhymes and cheers section of that website which was voluntarily deactivated in October 2014.
-snip-
A few other examples of this rhyme with the words "my mama" etc instead of "your mama" can be found online. However, since these rhymes are supposed to be disses (insults), the correct wording is "your (yo) mama, your daddy, your bald headed granny" and not "my mama" etc. People wouldn't say "my mama" etc. since that would mean that they were insulting themselves.
Here's a YouTube discussion thread comment on a "yo greasy grimy granny" video that supports this position:
"from whut i understand this was derived from basing eg; your momma jokes maybe from socal or NYC... You would start off by saying your momma...and you would return with each line as a comback saying your daddy....and continue with the rest as a comback without the other party knowing what you where going to say...but this was 35 years ago and old"
-Suprahajimoto, 2011, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sBrAKK30dTA2011
-snip-
"Basing" is one of several regional terms for "playing the dozens".
"your mama jokes" means the same thing as "the dozens". These insulting jokes are referred to as "your mama" ("yo mama") because so many of those jokes (insults) begin with the words "Your mama [is] ____".
"Socal" = southern California; NYC = New York City.
