[Talking:]


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]


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 went all natural


February two thousand and two


I went and did


What I had to do


Because it was time to change my life


To become the women that I am inside


Ninety-seven dreadlock 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 ma not this skin


I am a soul that lives within





[Talking:]


What'd she do to her hair? I don't know it look crazy


I like it. I might do that.


Umm I wouldn't go that far. I know .. ha ha ha ha





[Verse 2]


Good hair means curls and waves


Bad hair means you look like a slave


At the turn of the century


Its 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]





[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 3]


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 2x]





[Ad lib]


If I wanna shave it close


Or if I wanna rock locks


That don't take a bit away


From the soul that I got


Dat da da dat da [4x]


If I wanna where it braided


All down my back


I don't see what wrong with that


Dat da da dat da [4x]





[Talking:]


Is that India.Arie?


Ooh look she cut her hair!


I like that, its kinda PHAT


I don't know if I could do it.


But it looks sharp, it looks nice on her


She got a nice shaped head


She got an apple head


I know right?


It's perfect.
