[00:00.00] 作词 : ARIE, INDIA/MOORE, ALECIA B/RAMSEY, ANDREW/SANDERS, SHANNON
[00:02.16] Konvict...Konvict...
[00:04.02] Dat dad a dat da
[00:06.52] Dad a ooh
[00:07.94] Condict music, uh-huh
[00:12.24]
[00:13.03] See I can kinda recall
[00:14.49] Little ways back small tryin' to bawl
[00:16.94] Always been black and my hair I tried it all
[00:19.22] I even went flat, had a gumdee curly top and all the crap, now
[00:23.57] Tryin' to be appreciated
[00:25.50] Nappy headed brothers never had no ladies
[00:28.30] Then I hit by the barber shop real quick
[00:30.49] Had em give me little twist and it drove them crazy
[00:33.54] And then I couldn't get no job
[00:35.73] Cause corporate wouldn't hire no dreadlocks
[00:38.14] Then I thought about my dogs on the block
[00:39.98] Kinda understand why they chose a stealin' rock
[00:42.77] Was it the hair that got me this far? (uh-huh)
[00:45.18] All these girls these cribs these cars (uh-huh)
[00:47.61] Hate to say it but it seem so flawed
[00:49.74] Cause success didn't come 'till i cut it all off (uh-huh)
[00:51.46]
[00:52.71] Little girl with the press and curl
[00:54.89] Age eight I got a Jheri curl
[00:57.34] Thirteen then I got a relaxer
[00:59.95] I was a source of so much laughter
[01:02.32] Fifteen when it all broke off
[01:04.54] Eighteen and then I went all natural
[01:07.18] February two thousand and two I
[01:09.66] Went and did what I had to do
[01:11.99] Cause it was time to change my life
[01:14.20] To become the women that I am inside
[01:16.92] Ninety-seven dreadlocks all gone
[01:19.01] Looked in the mirror for the first time and saw that
[01:21.46] Hey...
[01:22.30]
[01:23.06] I am not my hair
[01:25.17] I am not this skin
[01:27.51] I am not your ex-pec-tations no no
[01:31.90] I am not my hair
[01:34.86] I am not this skin
[01:37.38] I am a soul that lives within
[01:39.60]
[01:41.55] Good hair means curls and waves
[01:43.83] Bad hair means you look like a slave
[01:46.26] At the turn of the century
[01:48.14] It's time for us to redefine who we be
[01:50.82] You can shave it off like a South African beauty
[01:53.25] Or get in on lock like Bob Marley
[01:55.68] You can rock it straight like Oprah Winfrey
[01:57.99] If its not what's on your head
[01:59.27] It's what's underneath and say
[02:00.56] Hey....
[02:01.18]
[02:02.03] I am not my hair
[02:04.27] I am not this skin
[02:06.64] I am not your ex-pec-tations no no
[02:11.46] I am not my hair
[02:13.99] I am not this skin
[02:16.46] I am a soul that lives within
[02:18.05]
[02:20.45] Who cares if you don't like that
[02:22.46] With nothin' to lose post it with a wave cap
[02:24.76] When the cops tryin' to harass
[02:26.19] Cause I got waves
[02:27.27] But he's sayin' nothin' like that
[02:28.51] Not in my days (noo...)
[02:30.56] Now you gotta change all feeling's
[02:32.35] Based on one another by their appearance
[02:35.07] Yes, India I feel ya girl
[02:37.06] Now go on and talk the rest of the world
[02:39.26]
[02:40.21] (oh, oh, oh)
[02:41.94] Does the way I wear my hair make me a better person?
[02:45.32] (Whoa, whoa, whoa)
[02:46.79] Does the way I wear my hair make me a better friend? nooo...
[02:49.41] (Whoa, whoa, whoa)
[02:51.68] Does the way I wear my hair determine my integrity?
[02:54.35] (Whoa, whoa, whoa)
[02:56.02] I am expressing my creativity...
[02:58.40]
[02:59.72] Breast cancer and chemotherapy
[03:01.94] Took away her crown and glory
[03:04.32] She promised God if she was to survive
[03:06.75] She would enjoy everyday of her life ooh...
[03:09.20] On national television
[03:11.63] Her diamond eyes are sparkling
[03:14.26] Bald headed like a full moon shining
[03:16.64] Singing out to the whole wide world like
[03:18.68] Hey...
[03:19.90]
[03:20.39] I am not my hair
[03:22.42] I am not this skin
[03:24.80] I am not your ex-pec-tations no no
[03:29.67] I am not my hair
[03:32.06] I am not this skin
[03:34.88] I am a soul that lives within
[03:39.68] I am not my hair
[03:41.95] I am not this skin
[03:44.45] I am not your ex-pec-tations no no
[03:49.11] I am not my hair....
