I Am Not My Hair - India Arie,Akon
See I can kinda recall a lil'ways back Small tryin'to ball always been black And my hair I tried it all I even went flat Had a lumpy curly top and all that crap now Just tryin'to be appreciated Nappy headed brothers never had no ladies And I hit the barber shop real quick Had'emgive me lil'twist and it drove'emcrazy crazy Then I couldn'tget no job 'Causecorporate wouldn'thire no dreadlocks Then I thought about my dogs from the block Kinda understand why they chose to steal and rob Was it the hair that got me this far All these girls these cribs these cars I hate to say it but it seem so flawed 'Causesuccess didn'tcome till I cut it all off Little girl with the press and curl Age eight I got a Jheri curl Thirteen and I got a relaxer I was a source of so much laughter At fifteen when it all broke off Eighteen and went all natural February 2002I went on and did what I had to do Because it was time to change my life To become the woman that I am inside Ninetysevendreadlocks all gone I looked in the mirror for the first time and saw that Hey hey I am not my hair I am not this skin I am not your expectations no hey I am not my hair I am not this skin I am the soul that lives withing Good hair means curls and waves no Bad hair means you look like a slave no At the turn of the century It'stime for us to redefine who we be You can shave it off like a South African beauty Or get in on lock like Bob Marley You can rock it straight like Oprah Winfrey If it'snot what'son your head it'swhat'sunderneath and say Hey hey I am not my hair I am not this skin I am not your expectations no hey I am not my hair I am not this skin I am the soul that lives withing Who cares if you don'tlike that With nothin'to lose postin'with the wave cap And the cops wanna harass 'causeI got waves Ain'tsee nothin'like that in all my days Man you gotta change all these feelings Steady judging one another by their appearance Yes India I feel ya girl Now go ahead talk to the rest of the world 'causeWhoa whoa whoa Does the way I wear my hair make me a better person Whoa whoa whoa Does the way I wear my hair make me a better friend Oh Whoa whoa whoa Does the way I wear my hair determine my integrity Whoa whoa whoa I am expressing my creativity Whoa whoa whoa Breast cancer and chemotherapy Took away her crownin'glory She promised God if she was to survive She would enjoy every day of her life oh On national television Her diamond eyes are sparkling Baldheadedlike a full moon shining Singing out to the whole wide world like hey Hey hey I am not my hair I am not my I hair am not this skin I am not your expectations no hey I am not my hair I am not this skin I am the soul that lives withing Hey hey I am not my hair I am not this skin I am not your expectations no hey I am not my hair Guitar score
