《I am Not My Hair)》歌词

[00:00:00] Is that India Arie

[00:00:01] What happened to her hair

[00:00:02] Ha ha ha ha ha

[00:00:06] Dat dad a dat da

[00:00:07] Dat dad a dat da

[00:00:09] Dat dad a dat da

[00:00:10] Dat dad a dat da

[00:00:11] Dad a ooh

[00:00:14] Little girl with the press and curl

[00:00:16] Age eight I got a Jheri curl

[00:00:18] Thirteen and I got a relaxer

[00:00:21] I was a source of so much laughter

[00:00:23] At fifteen when it all broke off

[00:00:26] Eighteen and went all natural

[00:00:28] February two thousand and two

[00:00:30] I went on and did

[00:00:32] What I had to do

[00:00:33] Because it was time to change my life

[00:00:35] To become the women that I am inside

[00:00:38] Ninety-seven dreadlocks all gone

[00:00:40] I looked in the mirror

[00:00:41] For the first time and saw that HEY

[00:00:44] I am not my hair

[00:00:46] I am not this skin

[00:00:48] I am not your expectations no no

[00:00:53] I am not my hair

[00:00:56] I am not this skin

[00:00:58] I am a soul that lives within

[00:01:03] What'd she do to her hair

[00:01:04] I don't know it look crazy

[00:01:06] I like it I might do that

[00:01:09] Umm I wouldn't go that far

[00:01:10] I know ha ha ha ha

[00:01:12] Good hair means curls and waves

[00:01:15] Bad hair means you look like a slave

[00:01:17] At the turn of the century

[00:01:19] It's time for us to redefine who we be

[00:01:22] You can shave it off

[00:01:23] Like a South African beauty

[00:01:24] Or get in on lock

[00:01:25] Like Bob Marley

[00:01:26] You can rock it straight

[00:01:28] Like Oprah Winfrey

[00:01:29] If it's not what's on your head

[00:01:30] It's what's underneath and say HEY

[00:01:33] I am not my hair

[00:01:35] I am not this skin

[00:01:37] I am not your expectations no no

[00:01:42] I am not my hair

[00:01:44] I am not this skin

[00:01:47] I am a soul that lives within

[00:01:51] (Whoa whoa whoa)

[00:01:53] Does the way I wear my hair

[00:01:54] Make me a better person

[00:01:56] (Whoa whoa whoa)

[00:01:58] Does the way I wear my hair

[00:01:59] Make me a better friend Oh

[00:02:01] (Whoa whoa whoa)

[00:02:03] Does the way

[00:02:04] I wear my hair determine my integrity

[00:02:05] (Whoa whoa whoa)

[00:02:07] I am expressing my creativity

[00:02:11] Breast Cancer and Chemotherapy

[00:02:13] Took away her crown and glory

[00:02:15] She promised God if she was to survive

[00:02:18] She would enjoy everyday of her life ooh

[00:02:21] On national television

[00:02:23] Her diamond eyes are sparkling

[00:02:25] Bald headed like a full moon shining

[00:02:28] Singing out to the whole wide world like HEY

[00:02:31] I am not my hair

[00:02:34] I am not this skin

[00:02:36] I am not your expectations no no

[00:02:41] I am not my hair

[00:02:43] I am not this skin

[00:02:46] I am a soul that lives within

[00:02:51] I am not my hair

[00:02:53] I am not this skin

[00:02:55] I am not your expectations no no

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

[00:03:03] I am a soul that lives within

[00:03:09] If I wanna shave it close

[00:03:10] Or if I wanna rock locks

[00:03:11] That don't take a bit away

[00:03:13] From the soul that I got

[00:03:15] Dat da da dat da

[00:03:16] Dat da da dat da

[00:03:19] If I wanna where it braided

[00:03:20] All down my back

[00:03:21] I don't see what wrong with that

[00:03:23] Dat da da dat da

[00:03:24] Dat da da dat da

[00:03:25] Dat da da dat da
