Love My Hair

You want to touch it, don't you? Try to run your fingers through Like the weight of your hand Could ever make you understand What it feels like to be Different just like me You know the weight of your hand Could never make you understand The things I'd do to try to fit right in I'm tired of trying to justify my skin I used to think What God gave me wasn't fair I'd braid it all Just to hide the curls up there I found my freedom When I learned not to care Now I'm not scared To love who l am I love my hair If I could back to twelve I would tell myself That straight up or down Baby, that's your crown Whoever made up those rules They don't apply to you Straight up or down I turn the world around I used to think What God gave me wasn't fair I'd braid it all Just to hide the curls up there I found my freedom When I learned not to care Now I'm not scared To love who l am I love my hair (I love my, I love my, I love my hair) (I love my, I love my, I love my hair) The things I did to try to fit right in I'll never justify my skin again I used to think What God gave me wasn't fair I'd braid it all Just to hide the curls up there But I found my freedom When I learned not to care Now I'm not scared To love who l am I love my hair
