Written by：Shannon Sanders/Alecia Moore/India Arie Simpson/Andrew Ramsey
See I can kinda recall a lil' ways back
依稀记得年少时光
Small tryin' to ball always been black
小小年纪就渴望出人头地
And my hair I tried it all I even went flat
尝试过所有发型 甚至剃平头
Had a lumpy curly top and all that crap now
顶着蓬乱卷发 经历种种挫败
Just tryin' to be appreciated
只求获得他人认可
Nappy headed brothers never had no ladies
顶着自然卷的兄弟总难觅芳心
And I hit the barber shop real quick
匆匆走进理发店
Had 'em give me lil' twist and it drove 'em crazy crazy
让师傅编个小辫 却引发轰动
Then I couldn't get no job
那时我四处碰壁找不到工作
'Cause corporate wouldn't hire no dreadlocks
因为公司不愿雇佣脏辫青年
Then I thought about my dogs from the block
想起街区里那些兄弟的处境
Kinda understand why they chose to steal and rob
突然明白他们为何选择偷抢
Was it the hair that got me this far
难道这发型带我走到今天
All these girls these cribs these cars
这些豪宅香车美人环绕
I hate to say it but it seem so flawed
不愿承认但实在荒谬
'Cause success didn't come till I cut it all off
直到剃光头发才获得成功
Little girl with the press and curl
小女孩顶着卷发夹烫发
Age eight I got a Jheri curl
八岁时我烫了杰里卷
Thirteen and I got a relaxer
十三岁开始用直发剂
I was a source of so much laughter
成为众人嘲笑的对象
At fifteen when it all broke off
十五岁时头发全断掉
Eighteen and went all natural
十八岁回归自然发型
February 2002

I went on and did what I had to do

Because it was time to change my life

To become the woman that I am inside

Ninety-seven dreadlocks all gone

I looked in the mirror for the first time and saw that

Hey hey

Bad hair means you look like a slave no

It's time for us to redefine who we be

You can shave it off like a South African beauty
你可以剃光头发 像南非美人那样
Or get in on lock like Bob Marley

You can rock it straight like Oprah Winfrey

With nothin' to lose postin' with the wave cap
戴着发网无所畏惧走在街上
And the cops wanna harass 'cause I got waves

Ain't see nothin' like that in all my days
