Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, oh Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, woah 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 wanna be ? (Uh huh, uh huh) to bad. 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 living just as free as my hair. I've had enough, this is my prayer, That I'll die living just as free as my hair. I've had enough, I'm not a freak, I'm just here trying to play cool on the streets I've had enough, enough, enough, And this is my prayer, I swear, I'm as free as my hair.    I'm as free as my hair.     I am my hair. I am my hair. As free as my hair, hair, hair, Hair, hair, ha-ha-ha-hair, Hair, hair, hair, Hair, hair, ha-ha-ha-hair. As free as my hair, hair, hair, Hair, hair, ha-ha-ha-hair Hair, hair, hair, Hair, hair, ha-ha-ha-hair. Sometimes I waltz around, Put on red highlights. (Uh huh, uh huh) Just because I want my friends, To think I'm dynamite. (Uh huh, uh huh) And on Friday rocks in, High school dance. (Uh huh, uh huh) I got my bangs too hot, That I don't stand a chance. (Uh huh, uh huh) a chance. 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 living just as free as my hair. I've had enough, this is my prayer, That I'll die living just as free as my hair. I've had enough, I'm not a freak, I'm just here trying to play cool on the streets I've had enough, enough, enough, And this is my prayer, I swear, I'm as free as my hair.    I'm as free as my hair.     I am my hair. I am my hair. As free as my hair, hair, hair, Hair, hair, ha-ha-ha-hair, Hair, hair, hair, Hair, hair, ha-ha-ha-hair. As free as my hair, hair, hair, Hair, hair, ha-ha-ha-hair Hair, hair, hair, Hair, hair, ha-ha-ha-hair. Ha-ha-ha-hair. I just want to be free, I just want to be me And I want lots of friends who invite me to their parties. I don't wanna change, and I don't wanna be ashamed.   I'm the spirit of my Hair, it's all the glory that I bare. I am 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, I am my hair (It's all the glory that I bare) I've had enough, this is my prayer, That I'll die living just as free as my hair. I've had enough, this is my prayer, That I'll die living just as free as my hair. I've had enough, I'm not a freak, I'm just here trying to play cool on the streets I've had enough, enough, enough, And this is my prayer, I swear, I'm as free as my hair. I'm as free as my hair. I am my hair.

À propos de la chanson

Cette chanson évoque la quête d'identité et le désir de liberté d'expression, notamment à travers l'apparence, comme les cheveux. Elle met en lumière le contraste entre les attentes familiales et le besoin de s'affirmer en tant qu'individu. L'artiste se sent en lutte contre ceux qui veulent l'assigner à un rôle, et elle exprime son rêve de vivre pleinement selon ses propres choix, sans honte. Le contexte de cette chanson s'inscrit dans un environnement où la conformisation peut apporter des contraintes, surtout durant l'adolescence. Elle reflète les défis liés à la recherche de soi dans un monde où l'acceptation par les autres peut être prépondérante. C'est un cri de ralliement pour ceux qui souhaitent être eux-mêmes, libres de s'exprimer sans crainte du jugement.
