Who I Am !

 

 

What do you see

when you look at me

Do you see someone limited,

or someone free

 

<=><=><=><=><=><=><=><=>

 

All some people can do is just look and stare

Simply because they can't see my hair

 

<=><=><=><=><=><=><=><=>

 

Others think I am controlled and uneducated

They think that I am limited and un-liberated

 

<=><=><=><=><=><=><=><=>

 

They are so thankful that they are not me

Because they would like to remain 'free'

 

<=><=><=><=><=><=><=><=>

 

Well free isn't exactly the word I would've used

Describing women who are cheated on and abused

 

<=><=><=><=><=><=><=><=>

 

They think that I do not have opinions or voice

They think that being hooded isn't my choice

 

<=><=><=><=><=><=><=><=>

 

They think that the hood makes me look caged

That my husband or dad are totally outraged

 

<=><=><=><=><=><=><=><=>

 

All they can do is look at me in fear

And in my eye there is a tear

 

<=><=><=><=><=><=><=><=>

 

Not because I have been stared at or made fun of

But because people are ignoring the one up above

 

<=><=><=><=><=><=><=><=>

 

On the day of judgment they will be the fools

Because they were too ashamed to play by their own rules

 

<=><=><=><=><=><=><=><=>

 

Maybe the guys won't think I am a cutie

But at least I am filled with more inner beauty

 

<=><=><=><=><=><=><=><=>

 

See I have declined from being a guy's toy

Because I won't let myself be controlled by a boy

 

<=><=><=><=><=><=><=><=>

 

Real men are able to appreciate my mind

And aren't busy looking at my behind

 

<=><=><=><=><=><=><=><=>

 

Hooded girls are the ones really helping the muslim cause

The role that we play definitely deserves applause

 

<=><=><=><=><=><=><=><=>

 

I will be recognized because I am smart and bright

And because some people are inspired by my sight

 

<=><=><=><=><=><=><=><=>

 

The smart ones are attracted by my tranquility

In the back of their mind they wish they were me

 

<=><=><=><=><=><=><=><=>

 

We have the strength to do what we think is right

Even if it means putting up a life long fight

 

<=><=><=><=><=><=><=><=>

 

You see we are not controlled by a mini skirt and tight shirt

We are given only respect, and never treated like dirt

 

<=><=><=><=><=><=><=><=>

 

So you see, we are the ones that are free and liberated

We are not the ones that are sexually terrorized and violated

 

<=><=><=><=><=><=><=><=>

 

We are the ones that are free and pure

We're free of STD's that have no cure

 

<=><=><=><=><=><=><=><=>

 

So when people ask you how you feel about the hood

Just sum it up by saying 'baby its all good' ;)
