Mickey Guyton - Love My Hair lyrics

[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
