Is that India Arie [00:00:00]
What happened to her hair [00:00:01]
Ha ha ha ha ha[00:00:02]
Dat dad a dat da[00:00:06]
Dat dad a dat da[00:00:07]
Dat dad a dat da[00:00:09]
Dat dad a dat da[00:00:10]
Dad a ooh[00:00:11]
Little girl with the press and curl[00:00:14]
Age eight I got a Jheri curl[00:00:16]
Thirteen and I got a relaxer[00:00:18]
I was a source of so much laughter[00:00:21]
At fifteen when it all broke off[00:00:23]
Eighteen and went all natural[00:00:26]
February two thousand and two[00:00:28]
I went on and did[00:00:30]
What I had to do[00:00:32]
Because it was time to change my life[00:00:33]
To become the women that I am inside[00:00:35]
Ninety-seven dreadlocks all gone[00:00:38]
I looked in the mirror[00:00:40]
For the first time and saw that HEY [00:00:41]
I am not my hair[00:00:44]
I am not this skin[00:00:46]
I am not your expectations no no[00:00:48]
I am not my hair[00:00:53]
I am not this skin[00:00:56]
I am a soul that lives within[00:00:58]
What'd she do to her hair[00:01:03]
I don't know it look crazy[00:01:04]
I like it I might do that [00:01:06]
Umm I wouldn't go that far [00:01:09]
I know ha ha ha ha[00:01:10]
Good hair means curls and waves[00:01:12]
Bad hair means you look like a slave[00:01:15]
At the turn of the century[00:01:17]
It's time for us to redefine who we be[00:01:19]
You can shave it off[00:01:22]
Like a South African beauty[00:01:23]
Or get in on lock[00:01:24]
Like Bob Marley[00:01:25]
You can rock it straight[00:01:26]
Like Oprah Winfrey[00:01:28]
If it's not what's on your head[00:01:29]
It's what's underneath and say HEY [00:01:30]
I am not my hair[00:01:33]
I am not this skin[00:01:35]
I am not your expectations no no[00:01:37]
I am not my hair[00:01:42]
I am not this skin[00:01:44]
I am a soul that lives within[00:01:47]
(Whoa whoa whoa)[00:01:51]
Does the way I wear my hair[00:01:53]
Make me a better person [00:01:54]
(Whoa whoa whoa)[00:01:56]
Does the way I wear my hair[00:01:58]
Make me a better friend Oh[00:01:59]
(Whoa whoa whoa)[00:02:01]
Does the way[00:02:03]
I wear my hair determine my integrity [00:02:04]
(Whoa whoa whoa)[00:02:05]
I am expressing my creativity [00:02:07]
Breast Cancer and Chemotherapy[00:02:11]
Took away her crown and glory[00:02:13]
She promised God if she was to survive[00:02:15]
She would enjoy everyday of her life ooh[00:02:18]
On national television[00:02:21]
Her diamond eyes are sparkling[00:02:23]
Bald headed like a full moon shining[00:02:25]
Singing out to the whole wide world like HEY [00:02:28]
I am not my hair[00:02:31]
I am not this skin[00:02:34]
I am not your expectations no no[00:02:36]
I am not my hair[00:02:41]
I am not this skin[00:02:43]
I am a soul that lives within[00:02:46]
I am not my hair[00:02:51]
I am not this skin[00:02:53]
I am not your expectations no no[00:02:55]
I am not my hair[00:03:00]
I am a soul that lives within[00:03:03]
If I wanna shave it close[00:03:09]
Or if I wanna rock locks[00:03:10]
That don't take a bit away[00:03:11]
From the soul that I got[00:03:13]
Dat da da dat da[00:03:15]
Dat da da dat da[00:03:16]
If I wanna where it braided[00:03:19]
All down my back[00:03:20]
I don't see what wrong with that[00:03:21]
Dat da da dat da[00:03:23]
Dat da da dat da[00:03:24]
Dat da da dat da[00:03:25]
