[00:00:01] Written by：Shannon Sanders/Alecia Moore/India Arie Simpson/Andrew Ramsey

[00:00:13] See I can kinda recall a lil' ways back

[00:00:15] Small tryin' to ball always been black

[00:00:17] And my hair I tried it all I even went flat

[00:00:20] Had a lumpy curly top and all that crap now

[00:00:23] Just tryin' to be appreciated

[00:00:25] Nappy headed brothers never had no ladies

[00:00:28] And I hit the barber shop real quick

[00:00:29] Had 'em give me lil' twist and it drove 'em crazy crazy

[00:00:33] Then I couldn't get no job

[00:00:35] 'Cause corporate wouldn't hire no dreadlocks

[00:00:37] Then I thought about my dogs from the block

[00:00:39] Kinda understand why they chose to steal and rob

[00:00:42] Was it the hair that got me this far

[00:00:45] All these girls these cribs these cars

[00:00:47] I hate to say it but it seem so flawed

[00:00:49] 'Cause success didn't come till I cut it all off

[00:00:52] Little girl with the press and curl

[00:00:54] Age eight I got a Jheri curl

[00:00:57] Thirteen and I got a relaxer

[00:00:59] I was a source of so much laughter

[00:01:02] At fifteen when it all broke off

[00:01:04] Eighteen and went all natural

[00:01:07] February 2002

[00:01:08] I went on and did what I had to do

[00:01:11] Because it was time to change my life

[00:01:14] To become the woman that I am inside

[00:01:17] Ninety-seven dreadlocks all gone

[00:01:19] I looked in the mirror for the first time and saw that

[00:01:21] Hey hey

[00:01:22] I am not my hair

[00:01:25] I am not this skin

[00:01:27] I am not your expectations no hey

[00:01:32] I am not my hair

[00:01:34] I am not this skin

[00:01:37] I am the soul that lives within

[00:01:41] Good hair means curls and waves no

[00:01:43] Bad hair means you look like a slave no

[00:01:46] At the turn of the century

[00:01:48] It's time for us to redefine who we be

[00:01:50] You can shave it off like a South African beauty

[00:01:53] Or get in on lock like Bob Marley

[00:01:55] You can rock it straight like Oprah Winfrey

[00:01:57] If it's not what's on your head it's what's underneath and say

[00:02:00] Hey hey

[00:02:01] I am not my hair

[00:02:04] I am not this skin

[00:02:06] I am not your expectations no hey

[00:02:11] I am not my hair

[00:02:14] I am not this skin

[00:02:16] I am the soul that lives within

[00:02:20] Who cares if you don't like that

[00:02:22] With nothin' to lose postin' with the wave cap

[00:02:24] And the cops wanna harass 'cause I got waves

[00:02:27] Ain't see nothin' like that in all my days

[00:02:30] Man you gotta change all these feelings

[00:02:32] Steady judging one another by their appearance

[00:02:35] Yes India I feel ya girl

[00:02:36] Now go ahead talk to the rest of the world 'cause

[00:02:39] Whoa whoa whoa

[00:02:41] Does the way I wear my hair make me a better person

[00:02:44] Whoa whoa whoa

[00:02:46] Does the way I wear my hair make me a better friend Oh

[00:02:49] Whoa whoa whoa

[00:02:51] Does the way I wear my hair determine my integrity

[00:02:53] Whoa whoa whoa

[00:02:55] I am expressing my creativity

[00:02:58] Whoa whoa whoa

[00:02:59] Breast cancer and chemotherapy

[00:03:01] Took away her crownin' glory

[00:03:04] She promised God if she was to survive

[00:03:06] She would enjoy every day of her life oh

[00:03:09] On national television

[00:03:11] Her diamond eyes are sparkling

[00:03:14] Bald-headed like a full moon shining

[00:03:16] Singing out to the whole wide world like hey

[00:03:19] Hey hey

[00:03:20] I am not my hair

[00:03:22] I am not this skin

[00:03:24] I am not your expectations no hey

[00:03:29] I am not my hair

[00:03:33] I am not this skin

[00:03:34] I am the soul that lives within

[00:03:39] Hey hey

[00:03:39] I am not my hair

[00:03:41] I am not this skin

[00:03:44] I am not your expectations no hey
