[00:02.160] Konvict...Konvict...
[00:04.020] Dat dad a dat da
[00:06.520] Dad a ooh
[00:07.940] Condict music, uh-huh
[00:13.030] See I can kinda recall
[00:14.490] Little ways back small tryin' to bawl
[00:16.940] Always been black and my hair I tried it all
[00:19.220] I even went flat, had a gumdee curly top and all the crap, now
[00:23.570] Tryin' to be appreciated
[00:25.500] Nappy headed brothers never had no ladies
[00:28.300] Then I hit by the barber shop real quick
[00:30.490] Had em give me little twist and it drove them crazy
[00:33.540] And then I couldn't get no job
[00:35.730] Cause corporate wouldn't hire no dreadlocks
[00:38.140] Then I thought about my dogs on the block
[00:39.980] Kinda understand why they chose a stealin' rock
[00:42.770] Was it the hair that got me this far? (uh-huh)
[00:45.180] All these girls these cribs these cars (uh-huh)
[00:47.610] Hate to say it but it seem so flawed
[00:49.740] Cause success didn't come 'till i cut it all off (uh-huh)
[00:52.710] Little girl with the press and curl
[00:54.890] Age eight I got a Jheri curl
[00:57.340] Thirteen then I got a relaxer
[00:59.950] I was a source of so much laughter
[01:02.320] Fifteen when it all broke off
[01:04.540] Eighteen and then I went all natural
[01:07.180] February two thousand and two I
[01:09.660] Went and did what I had to do
[01:11.990] Cause it was time to change my life
[01:14.200] To become the women that I am inside
[01:16.920] Ninety-seven dreadlocks all gone
[01:19.010] Looked in the mirror for the first time and saw that
[01:21.460] Hey...
[01:23.060] I am not my hair
[01:25.170] I am not this skin
[01:27.510] I am not your ex-pec-tations no no
[01:31.900] I am not my hair
[01:34.860] I am not this skin
[01:37.380] I am a soul that lives within
[01:41.550] Good hair means curls and waves
[01:43.830] Bad hair means you look like a slave
[01:46.260] At the turn of the century
[01:48.140] It's time for us to redefine who we be
[01:50.820] You can shave it off like a South African beauty
[01:53.250] Or get in on lock like Bob Marley
[01:55.680] You can rock it straight like Oprah Winfrey
[01:57.990] If its not what's on your head
[01:59.270] It's what's underneath and say
[02:00.560] Hey....
[02:02.030] I am not my hair
[02:04.270] I am not this skin
[02:06.640] I am not your ex-pec-tations no no
[02:11.460] I am not my hair
[02:13.990] I am not this skin
[02:16.460] I am a soul that lives within
[02:20.450] Who cares if you don't like that
[02:22.460] With nothin' to lose post it with a wave cap
[02:24.760] When the cops tryin' to harass
[02:26.190] Cause I got waves
[02:27.270] But he's sayin' nothin' like that
[02:28.510] Not in my days (noo...)
[02:30.560] Now you gotta change all feeling's
[02:32.350] Based on one another by their appearance
[02:35.070] Yes, India I feel ya girl
[02:37.060] Now go on and talk the rest of the world
[02:40.210] (oh, oh, oh)
[02:41.940] Does the way I wear my hair make me a better person?
[02:45.320] (Whoa, whoa, whoa)
[02:46.790] Does the way I wear my hair make me a better friend? nooo...
[02:49.410] (Whoa, whoa, whoa)
[02:51.680] Does the way I wear my hair determine my integrity?
[02:54.350] (Whoa, whoa, whoa)
[02:56.020] I am expressing my creativity...
[02:59.720] Breast cancer and chemotherapy
[03:01.940] Took away her crown and glory
[03:04.320] She promised God if she was to survive
[03:06.750] She would enjoy everyday of her life ooh...
[03:09.200] On national television
[03:11.630] Her diamond eyes are sparkling
[03:14.260] Bald headed like a full moon shining
[03:16.640] Singing out to the whole wide world like
[03:18.680] Hey...
[03:20.390] I am not my hair
[03:22.420] I am not this skin
[03:24.800] I am not your ex-pec-tations no no
[03:29.670] I am not my hair
[03:32.060] I am not this skin
[03:34.880] I am a soul that lives within
[03:39.680] I am not my hair
[03:41.950] I am not this skin
[03:44.450] I am not your ex-pec-tations no no
[03:49.110] I am not my hair....
