[00:33.54]And then I couldn't get no job

[01:07.18]February two thousand and two I
[01:09.66]Went and did what I had to do
[01:11.99]Cause it was time to change my life
[01:14.20]To become the women that I am inside
[01:16.92]Ninety-seven dreadlocks all gone

[01:39.60]
[01:41.55]Good hair means curls and waves
[01:43.83]Bad hair means you look like a slave
[01:46.26]At the turn of the century
[01:48.14]It's time for us to redefine who we be
[01:50.82]You can shave it off like a South African beauty
[01:53.25]Or get in on lock like Bob Marley
[01:55.68]You can rock it straight like Oprah Winfrey

Went and did what I had to do
Cause it was time to change my life
To become the women that I am inside
Ninety-seven dreadlocks all gone
Looked in the mirror for the first time and saw that
