[00:09.98] | See I can kinda recall little ways back |
[00:12.28] | Small tryin' to bawl always been black |
[00:14.69] | And my hair I tried it all, I even went flat |
[00:17.04] | Had a gumdee curly top and all the crap now |
[00:19.82] | Just tryin' to be appreciated |
[00:22.18] | Nappy headed brothers never had no latest |
[00:24.43] | Then I hit the barber shop real quick |
[00:26.84] | Had 'em gimme little twist and it drove them crazy |
[00:30.28] | And then I couldn't get no job |
[00:32.14] | This corporate wouldn't hire no dreadlocks |
[00:34.95] | Then I thought about my dogs on the block |
[00:36.91] | Kinda understand why they chose a stealin' rock |
[00:39.61] | Was it the hair that got me this far? |
[00:42.02] | All these girls, these cribs, these cars |
[00:44.38] | I hate to say it but it seem so flaw |
[00:46.64] | 'Cause success didn't come 'til I cut it all off |
[00:49.45] | Little girl with the press and curl |
[00:51.65] | Age eight I got a Jheri curl |
[00:54.11] | Thirteen and I got a relaxer |
[00:56.57] | I was a source of so much laughter |
[00:59.23] | And fifteen when it all broke off |
[01:01.49] | Eighteen and I went all natural |
[01:03.90] | February two thousand and two I |
[01:05.96] | Went on and did what I had to do |
[01:08.77] | Because it was time to change my life |
[01:10.73] | To become the woman that I am inside |
[01:13.73] | Ninety-seven dreadlocks all gone |
[01:15.70] | I looked in the mirror for the first time and saw that |
[01:18.27] | Hey, hey, I am not my hair, I am not this skin |
[01:24.31] | I am not your expectations, no, no |
[01:29.45] | I am not my hair, I am not this skin |
[01:34.06] | I am a soul that lives within |
[01:38.43] | Good hair means curls and waves |
[01:40.46] | Bad hair means you look like a slave |
[01:42.93] | At the turn of the century |
[01:44.95] | It's time for us to redefine who we be |
[01:47.62] | You be shaving it off like a South African beauty |
[01:50.09] | Get in on lock like Bob Marley |
[01:52.35] | You can rock it straight like Oprah Winfrey |
[01:54.83] | If its not what's on your head |
[01:55.89] | it's what's underneath and say, hey |
[01:58.10] | Hey, I am not my hair, I am not this skin |
[02:03.34] | I am not your expectation, no |
[02:08.19] | I am not my hair, I am not this skin |
[02:13.12] | I am a soul that lives within |
[02:17.44] | Who cares if you don't like that |
[02:19.22] | With nothin' to lose post it with a wave cap |
[02:21.54] | When the cops wanna harass 'cause I got waves |
[02:24.00] | Ain't seen nothin' like that, not in my days |
[02:27.05] | Man, you gotta change all feelings |
[02:29.07] | Steady judging one another by their appearance |
[02:31.44] | Yes, India, I feel ya girl |
[02:33.81] | Now go 'head talk the rest of the world |
[02:38.70] | Does the way I wear my hair |
[02:40.06] | Make me a better person? |
[02:43.60] | Does the way I wear my hair |
[02:44.85] | Make me a better friend? |
[02:48.48] | Does the way I wear my hair |
[02:49.68] | Determine my integrity? |
[02:51.29] | I am expressing my creativity |
[02:56.47] | Breast cancer and chemotherapy |
[02:58.80] | Took away her crown and glory |
[03:01.01] | She promised God if she was to survive |
[03:03.43] | She would enjoy everyday of her life |
[03:05.64] | On national television |
[03:08.36] | Her diamond eyes are sparkling |
[03:10.92] | Bald headed like a full moon shining |
[03:13.24] | Singing out to the whole wide world like, hey |
[03:16.25] | Hey, I am not my hair, I am not this skin |
[03:21.48] | I am not your expectations, no |
[03:26.63] | I am not my hair, I am not this skin |
[03:36.44] | I am not my hair, I am not this skin |
[03:41.18] | I am not your expectations, no, no |
