Luyện nghe bài hát I Am Not My Hair

See, I can kinda recall a lil' ways
Small, tryin' to ball, always been
And my hair, I tried it all I went flat
Had a lumpy curly top and all crap, now
tryin' to be appreciated
Nappy headed never had no ladies
And I hit the barber shop quick
Had 'em give me lil' and it drove 'em crazy (crazy)
I couldn't get no job
'Cause corporate hire no dreadlocks
Then I about my dogs from the block
Kinda understand why they to steal and rob
Was it the hair that got me far
All girls these cribs these cars?
I hate to say it but it seem so
'Cause didn't come till I cut it all off

Little with the press and curl
Age eight, I got a curl
Thirteen, and I got a
I was a source of so laughter
At fifteen when it all off
and went all natural
February,
I went on and did I had to do
it was time to change my life
To the woman that I am inside
dreadlocks all gone
I looked in the mirror for the time and saw that

Hey (hey)
I am not my
I am not skin
I am not expectations, no (hey)
I am not my
I am not this
I am the that lives within

Good hair curls and waves (no)
Bad hair means you like a slave (no)
At the of the century
time for us to redefine who we be
You can shave it off like a South beauty
Or get in on lock like Bob
You can rock it straight like Winfrey
If it's not what's on your head, it's underneath, and say

Hey (hey)
I am not my
I am not this
I am not expectations, no (hey)
I am not my
I am not skin
I am the soul that within

Who cares if you like that?
With nothin' to lose, postin' with the cap
And the cops harass 'cause I got waves
see nothin' like that in all my days
Man, you change all these feelings
Steady one another by their appearance
Yes, India, I ya, girl
Now go ahead, to the rest of the world 'cause

(Whoa, whoa, whoa)
Does the way I my hair make me a better person?
(Whoa, whoa, whoa)
Does the way I wear my hair make me a friend? Oh
(Whoa, whoa, whoa)
the way I wear my hair determine my integrity?
(Whoa, whoa, whoa)
I am my creativity
(Whoa, whoa, whoa)

cancer and chemotherapy
Took away her crownin'
She promised God if she was to
She enjoy every day of her life, oh
On television
Her diamond eyes are
Bald-headed like a full shining
Singing out to the whole world like, hey

Hey (hey)
I am not my
I am not skin
I am not expectations, no (hey)
I am not my
I am not skin
I am the that lives within

Hey (hey)
I am not my
I am not skin
I am not expectations, no (hey)
I am not my
I am not skin
I am the soul that within
