Love My Hair

[Verse 1]

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

A different just like me

You know the weight of your hand

Could never make you understand

[Pre-Chorus]

The things I'd do to try to fit right in

I'm tired of trying to justify my skin

[Chorus]

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 I am

I love my hair

[Verse 2]

If I could go 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

A straight up or down

I turn the world around

[Chorus]

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 I am

I love my hair

[Bridge]

(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

[Chorus]

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 I am

I love my hair
