Mickey Guyton 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
