Whenever I'm dressed cool my parents put up a fight (uh huh uh huh) And if I'm a hot shot mom will cut my hair at night (uh huh uh huh) And in the morning I'm short of my identity (uh huh uh huh) I scream mom and dad why can't I be who I want to be? (Uh huh uh huh) To be I just wanna be myself and I want you to love Me for who I am I just wanna be myself and I want you to know I am my hair I've had enough This is my prayer That I'll die livin' just as free as my hair I've had enough This is my prayer That I'll die livin' just as free as my hair I've had enough I'm not a freak I just keep fightin' to stay cool on these streets I've had enough, enough, enough And this is my prayer I swear I'm as free as my hair Oh oh-oh Oh oh-oh Free as my hair Oh oh-oh Oh oh-oh I am my hair Oh oh-oh Oh oh-oh I am my hair Oh oh-oh Oh oh-oh Free as my hai-ai -ai -ai -ai -ai -r Free as my hai-ai -ai -ai -ai -ai -r Free as my hai-ai -ai -ai -ai -ai -r Free as my hai-ai -ai -ai -ai -ai -r Sometimes I want some raccoon or red highlights Just because I want my friends to think I'm dynamite And on Friday rock city high school dance I've got my bangs to hide that I dont stand a chance A chance I just want to be free I just want to be me And I want lots of friends that invite me to their parties I don't want to change And I don't want to be ashamed I'm the spirit of my hair It's all the glory that I bear I'm my hair, I am my hair I'm my hair, I am my hair I am my hair, I am my hair I am my hair It's all the glory that I bear
