Solange. - Don’t Touch My Hair

Lyrics
Don't touch my hair
When it's the feelings I wear
Don't touch my soul
When it's the rhythm I know
Don't touch my crown
They say the vision I've found
Don't touch what's there
When it's the feelings I wear
They don't understand
What it means to me
Where we chose to go
Where we've been to know
They don't understand
What it means to me
Where we chose to go
Where we've been to know
You know this hair is my shit
Rolled the rod, I gave it time
But this here is mine
You know this hair is my shit
Rolled the rod, I gave it time
But this here is mine
What you say, oh?
What you say to me?
What you say to me?
What you say to me?
What you say to me?
What you say to me?
What you say to me?
What you say to me?
What you say to me?
Don't touch my pride
They say the glory's all mine
Don't test my mouth
They say the truth is my sound
They don't understand
What it means to me
Where we chose to go
Where we've been to know
They don't understand
What it means to me
Where we chose to go
Where we've been to know
You know this hair is my shit
Rolled the rod, I gave it time
But this here is mine
You know this hair is my shit
Rolled the rod, I gave it time
But this here is mine (mine)
What you say, oh?
What you say to me?
What you say to me?
What you say to me? (To me)
What you say to me? (To me)
What you say to me? (To me)
What you say to me?

Solange - I do not own the rights to this music. I saw artwork that reminded me of this song so I decided to add a clip of the music to share. This beautiful song belongs to Solange Knowles and the others who helped her to create it. This is actually from the album A Seat at the Table released in 2016 ( The year my little one was born) :)

Why did Solange write don't touch my hair?
She told her followers she was "publicly disowning" the piece as it was a "fiasco despite my efforts". "I told my editors to take my name off of the byline because they distorted my work and reporting in ways that made me very uncomfortable." Oct 20, 2017

I love how outspoken Solange can be and how she has created her own identity in spite of her sister being Beyonce. I know that the expectations of her and Destiny's Child were hard to live up to but Solange, Kelly and Michelle all did a great job making a name for themselves.
