Whenever I'm dressed cool My parents put up a fight (Uh huh, uh huh) And if I'm 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 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
[Chorus:] 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 the streets I've had enough, enough, enough And this is my prayer, I swear I'm as free as my hair I'm a free as my hair I am my hair I am my hair
[x2:] Free as my hair, hair, hair Hair, hair, ha-ha-ha-hair Hair, hair, hair Hair, hair, ha-ha-ha-hair
Sometimes I some raccoons Or red highlights Just because I want my friends To think I'm dynamite
And on Friday rock city High school dance I got my bangs to hide That I don't stand a chance, 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
[Chorus]
[x2:] Free as my hair, hair, hair Hair, hair, ha-ha-ha-hair Hair, hair, hair Hair, hair, ha-ha-ha-hair
I just want to be free, I just want to be me And I want lots of friends that invite me to their parties 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'm my hair I am my hair, I'm hair I am my hair, I'm hair I am my hair, I'm hair It's all the glory that I bare
I am my hair, I am my hair I am a hair, yeah It's all the glory that I bare I am my hair, I am my hair I'm my hair, yeah, yeah (All the glory that I bare) I'm my hair, yeah, yeah (All the glory that I bare) I'm my hair, yeah, yeah (All the glory that I bare) My hair, yeah, yeah, yeah
[Chorus]
I'm as free as my hair I'm as free as my hair I am my hair, I am my hair Ooh I'm my hair, I'm my hair
