Lady Good Hair, Gimme a bright blue sky and air to breathe
Lady good hair, All I want's a nation where I'm free to be
There's a war coming on and I know they'll blame me
Lady good hair, I'm just trying to make you see
That I'm so tired- tired of all your people getting loud
Tired of them tryin to bring me down
We'll all trying to make it through
And I've felt loss, and hatred too
Ain't nothing wrong with the way it's designed
If you're breathing while brown, let the punishment fit the crime
Lady Good Hair - you're the kind that's easy on the eyes
Lady Good Hair- I don't see you as, well, what you're tone implies
And they way you speak, so articulate
Not like those angry girls who feed hate
Don't they know their outta line- Thinking their lives are more important than mine
Lady Good Hair- I know you understand me
Cause I'm so tired- Tired of all those people making scenes
Acting like the world treat them differently, forcing me to be PC
Don't they know not to laugh so loud- or raise their voices in a nervous crowd
Protest has it's time and place, but now they're taking to much space
If you don't want trouble don't make none, don't say we're deaf blind and dumb
Ain't nothing wrong with the way it's designed
If you're breathing while brown, let the punishment fit the crime
If you're standing, or you're frowning Hand up, or hands downing
If you're playing in a parking lot
If you're honest at a traffic stop
If you're angry cause you know your rights If you're twice as good to protect you life
If you're hustling just to get by
If you're daughter ought not watch you die you're still headed for the pipeline
Or the mugshot blast on dateline
If you're a black life or brown life, let the punishment fit the crime. Lady Good hair
