《I Am Not My Hair》歌词

[00:00:00] I Am Not My Hair - India Arie (印蒂雅·艾瑞)/Akon (阿肯)
[00:00:00] Written by:India Arie/Shannon Sanders/Drew Ramsey
[00:00:10] See I can kinda recall a lil' ways back
[00:00:12] Small tryin' to ball always been black
[00:00:14] And my hair I tried it all I even went flat
[00:00:17] Had a lumpy curly top and all that crap now
[00:00:20] Just tryin' to be appreciated
[00:00:22] Nappy headed brothers never had no ladies
[00:00:25] And I hit the barber shop real quick
[00:00:27] Had'em give me lil' twist and it drove'em crazy crazy
[00:00:30] Then I couldn't get no job
[00:00:32] 'Cause corporate wouldn't hire no dreadlocks
[00:00:34] Then I thought about my dogs from the block
[00:00:37] Kinda understand why they chose to steal and rob
[00:00:39] Was it the hair that got me this far
[00:00:42] All these girls these cribs these cars
[00:00:44] I hate to say it but it seem so flawed
[00:00:46] 'Cause success didn't come till I cut it all off
[00:00:49] Little girl with the press and curl
[00:00:51] Age eight I got a Jheri curl
[00:00:54] Thirteen and I got a relaxer
[00:00:56] I was a source of so much laughter
[00:00:59] At fifteen when it all broke off
[00:01:01] Eighteen and went all natural
[00:01:04] February 2002
[00:01:06] I went on and did what I had to do
[00:01:09] Because it was time to change my life
[00:01:11] To become the woman that I am inside
[00:01:13] Ninety-seven dreadlocks all gone
[00:01:16] I looked in the mirror for the first time and saw that
[00:01:18] Hey hey
[00:01:19] I am not my hair
[00:01:22] I am not this skin
[00:01:24] I am not your expectations no hey
[00:01:29] I am not my hair
[00:01:32] I am not this skin
[00:01:34] I am the soul that lives withing
[00:01:38] Good hair means curls and waves no
[00:01:40] Bad hair means you look like a slave no
[00:01:43] At the turn of the century
[00:01:45] It's time for us to redefine who we be
[00:01:47] You can shave it off like a South African beauty
[00:01:50] Or get in on lock like Bob Marley
[00:01:52] You can rock it straight like Oprah Winfrey
[00:01:54] If it's not what's on your head it's what's underneath and say
[00:01:57] Hey hey
[00:01:58] I am not my hair
[00:02:01] I am not this skin
[00:02:03] I am not your expectations no hey
[00:02:08] I am not my hair
[00:02:11] I am not this skin
[00:02:13] I am the soul that lives withing
[00:02:17] Who cares if you don't like that
[00:02:19] With nothin' to lose postin' with the wave cap
[00:02:21] And the cops wanna harass 'cause I got waves
[00:02:24] Ain't see nothin' like that in all my days
[00:02:27] Man you gotta change all these feelings
[00:02:29] Steady judging one another by their appearance
[00:02:31] Yes India I feel ya girl
[00:02:34] Now go ahead talk to the rest of the world 'cause
[00:02:36] Whoa whoa whoa
[00:02:38] Does the way I wear my hair make me a better person
[00:02:41] Whoa whoa whoa
[00:02:43] Does the way I wear my hair make me a better friend Oh
[00:02:47] Whoa whoa whoa
[00:02:48] Does the way I wear my hair determine my integrity
[00:02:51] Whoa whoa whoa
[00:02:53] I am expressing my creativity
[00:02:55] Whoa whoa whoa
[00:02:56] Breast cancer and chemotherapy
[00:02:59] Took away her crownin' glory
[00:03:01] She promised God if she was to survive
[00:03:03] She would enjoy every day of her life oh
[00:03:06] On national television
[00:03:08] Her diamond eyes are sparkling
[00:03:11] Bald-headed like a full moon shining
[00:03:13] Singing out to the whole wide world like hey
[00:03:16] Hey hey
[00:03:17] I am not my hair
[00:03:18] I am not my hair
[00:03:20] I am not this skin
[00:03:21] I am not your expectations no hey
[00:03:26] I am not my hair
[00:03:29] I am not this skin
[00:03:31] I am the soul that lives withing
[00:03:35] Hey hey
[00:03:36] I am not my hair
[00:03:39] I am not this skin
[00:03:41] I am not your expectations no hey
[00:03:46] I am not my hair
