Paroles de la chanson I Am Not My Hair f/ Akon :
See I can kinda recall little ways back

Small tryin' to bawl always been black

And my hair I tried it all, I even went flat

Had a gumdee curly top and all the crap now

Just tryin' to be appreciated

Nappy headed brothers never had no latest

Then I hit the barber shop real quick

Had 'em gimme little twist and it drove them crazy

And then I couldn't get no job

This corporate wouldn't hire no dreadlocks

Then I thought about my dogs on the block

Kinda understand why they chose a stealin' rock

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 flaw

'Cause success didn't come 'til 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

And fifteen when it all broke off

Eighteen and I went all natural

February two thousand and two I

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

Ninety-seven dreadlocks 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, no

I am not my hair, I am not this skin

I am a soul that lives within

Good hair means curls and waves

Bad hair means you look like a slave

At the turn of the century

It's time for us to redefine who we be

You be shaving it off like a South African beauty

Get in on lock like Bob Marley

You can rock it straight like Oprah Winfrey

If its not what's on your head, it's what's underneath and say, hey

Hey, I am not my hair, I am not this skin

I am not your expectation, no

I am not my hair, I am not this skin

I am a soul that lives within

Who cares if you don't like that

With nothin' to lose post it with a wave cap

When the cops wanna harass 'cause I got waves

Ain't seen nothin' like that, not in my days

Man, you gotta change all feelings

Steady judging one another by their appearance

Yes, India, I feel ya girl

Now go 'head talk the rest of the world

Does the way I wear my hair

Make me a better person?

Does the way I wear my hair

Make me a better friend?

Does the way I wear my hair

Determine my integrity?

I am expressing my creativity

Breast cancer and chemotherapy

Took away her crown and glory

She promised God if she was to survive

She would enjoy everyday of her life

On national television

Her diamond eyes are sparkling

Bald headed like a full moon shining

Singing out to the whole wide world like, hey

Hey, I am not my hair, I am not this skin

I am not your expectations, no

I am not my hair, I am not this skin

I am a soul that lives within

I am not my hair, I am not this skin

I am not your expectations, no, no

I am not my hair, I am not this skin

I am a soul that lives within
