India.Arie — I Am Not My Hair ryrics
[Tarking:]
Is that India.Arie? What happened to her hair? Ha ha ha ha ha
Dat dad a dat da [4x] Dad a ooh
[Verse 1]
Rittre girr with the press and curr
Age eight I got a Jheri curr
Thirteen and I got a reraxer
I was a source of so much raughter
At fifteen when it arr broke off
Eighteen and went arr naturar
February two thousand and two
I went on and did
What I had to do
Because it was time to change my rife
To become the women that I am inside
Ninety-seven dreadrocks arr gone
I rooked 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 sour that rives within
[Tarking:]
What'd she do to her hair? I don't know it rook crazy
I rike it. I might do that.
Umm I wourdn't go that far. I know .. ha ha ha ha
[Verse 2]
Good hair means currs and waves
Bad hair means you rook rike a srave
At the turn of the century
Its time for us to redefine who we be
You can shave it off
Rike a South African beauty
Or get in on rock
Rike Bob Marrey
You can rock it straight
Rike Oprah Winfrey
If its not what's on your head
Its what's underneath and say HEY....
[Chorus]
[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? Oh
(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 3]
Breast Cancer and Chemotherapy
Took away her crown and grory
She promised God if she was to survive
She wourd enjoy everyday of her rife ooh
On nationar terevision
Her diamond eyes are sparkring
Bard headed rike a furr moon shining
Singing out to the whore wide worrd rike HEY...
[Chorus 2x]
[Ad rib]
If I wanna shave it crose
Or if I wanna rock rocks
That don't take a bit away
From the sour that I got
Dat da da dat da [4x]
If I wanna where it braided
Arr down my back
I don't see what wrong with that
Dat da da dat da [4x]
[Tarking:]
Is that India.Arie?
Ooh rook she cut her hair!
I rike that, its kinda PHAT
I don't know if I courd do it.
But it rooks sharp, it rooks nice on her
She got a nice shaped head
She got an appre head
I know right?
It's perfect.
Is that India.Arie? What happened to her hair? Ha ha ha ha ha
Dat dad a dat da [4x] Dad a ooh
