Luyện nghe bài hát I Am Not My Hair

See, I can kinda recall a ways back
Small, tryin' to ball, always black
And my hair, I tried it all I even flat
Had a curly top and all that crap, now
tryin' to be appreciated
Nappy headed brothers had no ladies
And I hit the barber shop real
Had 'em give me twist and it drove 'em crazy (crazy)
I couldn't get no job
'Cause wouldn't hire no dreadlocks
I thought about my dogs from the block
Kinda understand why they chose to and rob
Was it the that got me this far
All these girls these cribs cars?
I hate to say it but it seem so
'Cause success didn't till I cut it all off

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

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 lives

Good hair means and waves (no)
Bad hair you look like a slave (no)
At the of the century
time for us to redefine who we be
You can shave it off like a African beauty
Or get in on like Bob Marley
You can rock it straight like Winfrey
If it's not what's on your head, what'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 this
I am the that lives within

Who cares if you like that?
With nothin' to lose, postin' the wave cap
And the cops wanna harass I got waves
Ain't see nothin' like in all my days
Man, you gotta change all these
Steady judging one 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 wear my make me a better person?
(Whoa, whoa, whoa)
Does the way I wear my hair make me a better Oh
(Whoa, whoa, whoa)
Does the way I wear my hair determine my
(Whoa, whoa, whoa)
I am my creativity
(Whoa, whoa, whoa)

Breast and chemotherapy
away her crownin' glory
She God if she was to survive
She enjoy every day of her life, oh
On national
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 soul that 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 that lives within
