See I can kinda recall little ways back
你看我还记得以前的点点滴滴
Small tryin' to bawl always been black
我总是矮小,想放声大哭,也总是黑色
And my hair I tried it all I even went flat
我试过所有发型,甚至拉直了头发
Had a gumdee curly top and all the crap now
曾有过蓬松卷发,还有那些烦恼
Just tryin' to be appreciated
只想得到别人的赞赏
Nappy headed brothers never had no latest
卷发兄弟从不过时
Then I hit the barber shop real quick
于是我匆忙走进理发店
Had 'em gimme little twist and it drove them crazy
让我给他们小辫子造型,让他们疯狂不已
And then I couldn't get no job
然后我就失业了
This corporate wouldn't hire no dreadlocks
这企业不雇长发绺的人。
Then I thought about my dogs on the block
我想到街区的朋友们
Kinda understand why they chose a stealin' rock
我有些理解为何他们会选择偷盗之路
Was it the hair that got me this far
是头发让我走到这么远吗?
All these girls these cribs these cars
好多姑娘好多房子好多车子
I hate to say it but it seem so flaw
我不得不承认,但一切似乎过于完美无瑕
'Cause success didn't come 'til I cut it all off
因为直到我舍弃一切,成功才降临
Little girl with the press and curl
少女时的我,烫发卷曲着秀发
Age eight I got a Jheri curl

Good hair means curls and waves
