  • (feat. Akon)

  • [Verse 1: Akon]

  • Konvict

  • Konvict Music uh huh

  • See I can kinda recall a lil ways back

  • Small tryin to ball always been black

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

  • Had a gummy curled on top and all that crap (o oh)

  • Just tryin to be appreciated

  • Nappy headed brothers never had no ladies

  • Then I hit the barber shop real quick

  • Had a mini lil twist and it drove her crazy (crazy)

  • Then I couldnt get no job

  • Cuz corporate wouldn't hire no dreadlocks

  • Then I thought about my dogs on the block

  • Kinda understand why they chose to steal and rob

  • 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 flawed

  • Success didnt come til I cut it all off

  • [Verse 2: India.Arie]

  • Little girl with the press and curl

  • Age eight I got a Jheri curl

  • Thirteen I got a relaxer

  • I was a source of so much laughter

  • At 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...

  • [Chorus]

  • 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

  • [Verse 3: India.Arie]

  • 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 can shave it off

  • Like a South African beauty

  • Or get in on lock

  • Like Bob Marley

  • You can rock it straight

  • Like Oprah Winfrey

  • If its not what's on your head

  • Its what's underneath and say HEY...

  • [Chorus]

  • [Verse 4: Akon]

  • Who cares if you dont like that

  • With nothin to lose posted with the wave cap

  • And the cops wanna harass cuz I got braids

  • Ain't see nothin like that in all my days (o oh)

  • And you gotta change all this feelings

  • They be judging one another by their appearance

  • Yes India, i feel ya girl

  • Now go 'head talk to the rest of the world cuz...

  • [Bridge:]

  • (Whoa, whoa, whoa)

  • Does the way I wear my hair make me a better person?

  • (Whoa, whoa, whoa)

  • Does the way I wear my hair make me a better friend? Oooh

  • (Whoa, whoa, whoa)

  • Does the way I wear my hair determine my integrity?

  • (Whoa, whoa, whoa)

  • I am expressing my creativity.

  • (Whoa, whoa, whoa)

  • [Verse 5: India.Arie]

  • 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 ooh

  • On national television

  • Her diamond eyes are sparkling

  • Bald headed like a full moon shining

  • Singing out to the whole wide world like HEY...

  • [Chorus: til fade]

(feat. Akon)
