" "hapo zamani" translates to "once upon a time"... the song (at least the Swahili part) is about alchoholism"

my hair is just like hers but it stands up in a small afro and it is a little hard to comb and it won't grow

Thanks for your comment. Firstly, do not be tempted to go the 'Chemicals' route. Find a qualified braider (ask to see certification!!) and start braiding your hair in simple natural braiding styles. Use plenty of hair growth oils and Moisturisers rich in natural ingredients, eat the right foods all to coax your hair,s natural growth...
