I Am Not My Hair (remix): India Arie Ft Akon by dalisto(m): 3:12pm On May 26, 2006 |
hi guys, i'm loving this song so so much. i believe the song was excellent when India sang the original alone. however i feel her remix with Akon has taken it a step higher. on another note i respect Akon's voice, it's somehow unique and sharp in a tenor kind of way. anyone else who likes song a lot? i wanted to upload the song with this message, but it ain't on the pc i'm using at work. here are the lyrics: [b][Akon: Verse 1] Konvict Konvict Music uh huh See I can kinda recall a lil ways back Small tryin to ball always been black And my hair I tried it all I even went flat Had a gummy curled on top and all that crap (o oh) Just tryin to be appreciated Nappy headed brothers never had no ladies Never hit the barber shop real quick Had a mini lil twist and it drove her crazy (crazy) Then I couldnt get no job Cuz corporate wouldn't hire no dreadlocks Then I thought about my dogs on the block Kinda understand why they chose to steal and rob Was it the hair that got me this far? All these girls these cribs these cars? I hate to say it but it seem so flawed Success didnt come til I cut it all off [India.Arie: Verse 1] Little girl with the press and curl Age eight I got a Jheri curl Thirteen and I got a relaxer I was a source of so much laughter At fifteen when it all broke off Eighteen and I went all natural February two thousand and two I went on and did What I had to do Because it was time to change my life To become the women that I am inside Ninety-seven dreadlocks all gone I looked in the mirror For the first time and saw that HEY, [Chorus] I am not my hair I am not this skin I am not your expectations no no I am not my hair I am not this skin I am a soul that lives within [India.Arie: Verse 2] Good hair means curls and waves Bad hair means you look like a slave At the turn of the century It's time for us to redefine who we be You can shave it off Like a South African beauty Or get in on lock Like Bob Marley You can rock it straight Like Oprah Winfrey If it's not what's on your head It's what's underneath and say HEY, [Chorus] [Akon: Verse 2] Who cares if you don't like that With nothin to lose postin with the wave cap And the cops wanna harass cuz I got waves Ain't see nothin like that in all my days (o oh) And you gotta change all this feelings They be judging one another by their appearance Yes India, i feel ya girl Now go 'head talk to the rest of the world cuz, [Bridge] (Whoa, whoa, whoa) Does the way I wear my hair make me a better person? (Whoa, whoa, whoa) Does the way I wear my hair make me a better friend? Oooh (Whoa, whoa, whoa) Does the way I wear my hair determine my integrity? (Whoa, whoa, whoa) I am expressing my creativity, (Whoa, whoa, whoa) [India.Arie: Verse 3] Breast Cancer and Chemotherapy Took away her crown and glory She promised God if she was to survive She would enjoy everyday of her life ooh On national television Her diamond eyes are sparkling Bald headed like a full moon shining Singing out to the whole wide world like HEY, [Chorus til fade] [/b] http://www.letssingit.com/?/indiaarie-i-am-not-my-hair-remix-ft-akon-727f2r1.html |

That song is powerful, for real, it talks about how some black women , we try to change our hair hair, for the sake of beauty. I must said that thanks to that and to neutrality.com , I decided to wear my kins (my natural hair) |
Re: I Am Not My Hair (remix): India Arie Ft Akon by shawna(f): 6:05am On Jun 27, 2006 |

Luv d song |
Re: I Am Not My Hair (remix): India Arie Ft Akon by ademiller(f): 12:28pm On Jul 06, 2006 |
come on guys lets all b realistic, that song would only sell becuse Akon featured in it. Im being real. The part sang by indiana was so damn dry, Akon wit his lovely sweet voice spiced it up. So we want the truth. The song was 85 percent good because of Akon.India was just there. Na woh woh baff am. |

You are your hair! if i met and liked you when you had long hair, I would prefer you keep the long hair instead of gorimapa |
Re: I Am Not My Hair (remix): India Arie Ft Akon by shawna(f): 5:31pm On Jul 21, 2006 |
lmao |
Re: I Am Not My Hair (remix): India Arie Ft Akon by Oracle(m): 6:24pm On Jul 21, 2006 |
zebudaya:you are definitely not your hair. if you don't like or love because he/she is wearing a hairstyle you don't fancy, then you're not worth loving. itz simple. according to india arie "you are the soul that lives within" |
Re: I Am Not My Hair (remix): India Arie Ft Akon by zebudaya(m): 7:09pm On Jul 21, 2006 |
Oracle: Which one concern me with soul, i know she has a beautiful soul okay no shakings, i want her to keep the long hair she had when i met her. She has to stay fly, How would she feel if i stop cutting and combing my hair? |
Re: I Am Not My Hair (remix): India Arie Ft Akon by shawna(f): 7:11pm On Jul 21, 2006 |
so u're shallow |
Re: I Am Not My Hair (remix): India Arie Ft Akon by zebudaya(m): 7:12pm On Jul 21, 2006 |
nope truthful, honest, and visual. |
Re: I Am Not My Hair (remix): India Arie Ft Akon by shawna(f): 7:13pm On Jul 21, 2006 |
whatever |
Re: I Am Not My Hair (remix): India Arie Ft Akon by Hana: 8:03am On Aug 17, 2006 |
zebudaya: Kudos. You obviously missed the whole entire point of the whole song. Amazing. The song promotes the hair as a symbol as something that can be changed with you're life, and something so easily altered and expressing creativity. Asking "How would she feel if i stop cutting and combing my hair?" has no point, and doesn't even commute with your argument. It's about her expressing herself, about people not judging by looks. Not caring appearances, but instead the soul, the content of the people. She has to stay fly, yeah - she has to stay fly for herself. |

I love the track alot, it really means alot and have alot of message in it. To my own understanding i think they are just trying to pass a message, for people not to judge others, by there appearance or the way other looks or do there things, you just have to accept others for who they are and not to try to change them to whom you want them to be. Don't try to judge people by looks because some are so beautiful outside but they are worst than devil inside but some are not that pretty but they heart is that of gold. YOU ARE NOT YOUR HAIR OR LOOKS, YOU ARE THE SOUL THAT LIVE WITHIN YOU |
