以下歌词翻译由文曲大模型提供
Written by：India Arie/Shannon Sanders/Drew Ramsey
See I can kinda recall a lil' ways back
依稀记得那些年少的时光
Small tryin' to ball always been black
身材瘦小却怀揣梦想 肤色从未改变
And my hair I tried it all I even went flat
我的发型百般尝试 甚至剃成平头
Had a lumpy curly top and all that crap now
顶着蓬乱卷发 经历种种不堪
Just tryin' to be appreciated
只渴望能得到认可欣赏
Nappy headed brothers never had no ladies
卷发的兄弟总难获姑娘青睐
And I hit the barber shop real quick
于是我匆匆走进理发店
Had'em give me lil' twist and it drove'em crazy crazy
让师傅编起发辫 瞬间令人疯狂
Then I couldn't get no job
那时我找不到工作
'Cause corporate wouldn't hire no dreadlocks
因为公司不愿雇佣留着脏辫的人
Then I thought about my dogs from the block
我想起了街区的老友们
Kinda understand why they chose to steal and rob
开始明白他们为何选择偷盗
Was it the hair that got me this far
是这发型让我走到今天吗
All these girls these cribs these cars
这些女孩 豪宅 名车
I hate to say it but it seem so flawed
不愿承认但现实如此荒谬
'Cause success didn't come till I cut it all off
直到剪去长发才获得成功
Little girl with the press and curl
那个烫着卷发的小女孩
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
却成为众人嘲笑的对象
At fifteen when it all broke off
十五岁时头发全部断裂
Eighteen and went all natural
十八岁回归自然发质
February 2002
2002年的二月
I went on and did what I had to do
我毅然做了必须做的事
Because it was time to change my life
因为这是改变人生的契机
To become the woman that I am inside
只为成为内心真实的自己
Ninety-seven dreadlocks all gone
九十七条脏辫尽数剪去
I looked in the mirror for the first time and saw that
初次凝视镜中的自己 终于明白
Hey hey

I am the soul that lives withing

Good hair means curls and waves no
所谓好发型必须卷曲波浪？不
Bad hair means you look like a slave no
所谓坏发型让你像个奴隶？不
At the turn of the century
在这个世纪之交
It's time for us to redefine who we be
是时候重新定义我们的模样
You can shave it off like a South African beauty
你可以剃光秀发 如南非佳丽般闪耀
Or get in on lock like Bob Marley
或编起脏辫 致敬雷鬼教父鲍勃
You can rock it straight like Oprah Winfrey
也能拉直秀发 像奥普拉般优雅
If it's not what's on your head it's what's underneath and say
重要的不是发型 而是灵魂在说话

With nothin' to lose postin' with the wave cap
戴着发网的我无所畏惧
And the cops wanna harass 'cause I got waves
连警察都侧目只因我的卷发张扬
Ain't see nothin' like that in all my days
这般风采平生未见
Man you gotta change all these feelings

Steady judging one another by their appearance
