Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
Is that [Am]India?
What happened to her [E]hair?[Am][G][Am]
[B][E][B]
[E][Am][G][Am][G][Am][B][E]
[B][E][Am][G][Am]
[G]Wen[Am]t on and d[B]id what I had to do
Be[E]cause it was time to change my life
To [Am]become the woman that I am inside
[G]97 dread[Am]locks all [G]gone
I [Am]looked in the mirror for the
[B]first time and saw that
[E]Hey, I am not my [Am]hair
I am not this [G]skin
[Am]I am[G] not your expect[B]ations, no, no[E]
I am not my [Am]hair
I am not this [G]skin[Am]
[G]I am the soul t[B]hat lives within
[E]What'd she do to her hair?
I [Am]don't know, it look crazy
I like it
[G]I might do that I w[Am]ouldn't go that f[B]ar
[E]Good hair means curls and waves
[Am]Bad hair means you look like a slaver
[G]At [Am]the turn of the century
[G]It's [Am]time for us [B]to redefine
who we be
You can [E]shave it off
like a South [B]African beau[E]ty
[Am]Got it on lock like Bob Marley
You [G]can rock it straight like Oprah Winfrey
If [D]it's not what's on [B]your head,
it's what's underneath
And say, [E]hey I am not my [Am]hair
I am not this [G]skin
I am not your [B]expectation, [E]no
I am not my [Am]hair
I am not this [G]skin
I am the [B]soul that lives within
[Am]Does[C] the[Am] way I wear m[G]y hair
make me a better per[C]son?[E][Am]
Does the way I wear my [B]hair
make me a better [C]friend?
[Am]Does the way I[B] wear my hair
determine my integ[Am]rity?
[C]I am [B]exp[Am]ressin[G]g my c[D]reat[C]ivity[B]
[E]Breast cancer and chemotherapy
[Am]took away her crown and glory
[G]She promised that if she [Am]was to surv[G]ive,
[Am]she would [B]en joy every day of her life
[E]On national television,
[Am]her diamond eyes are sparkling
[G]Broad -headed like a full moon shining,
[B]singing out to the whole wide world like
[E]Hey, I am not my [Am]hair, I am not this [G]skin
[Am]I am not your ex[B]pectations, no[E]
I am not my [Am]hair, I am not this [G]skin
I am the [B]soul that lives [E]within you
I am not my [Am]hair, I am not this [G]skin
I am not your [B]expectations, [E]no, no
I am not my [Am]hair
I am [G]the soul that lives within you
[B]the soul [G]that lives [B]within
If I [E]want to shave it close
or I want to rock locks
That [Am]don't take a bit away
from this soul [G]that I [Am]got[B]
If I [E]want to wear it braided
all down my back
[Am]I don't see nothing wrong with
[G]that[Am][B][E][Am]
[G][Am][B]
[E]All right. Per[E]fect.
[Am]
