Long Hair Don't Care

You know what they say, right?

"An Indian ain't an Indian without his flow"

So, if one more motherfucker come up to me

And tell me to get my hair cut

You know what I'ma say

Long hair don't care

When I got my first cut, I was about three

I remember that shit like I was thirteen

Hair messing up the place, tears dripping down my face

Pissed off at my pops like, "How could you betray me?"

Hey, but I never let it phase me

I never knew it then that my hair is what'll make me

Said, "Long hair on a man looks lazy"

You couldn't understand that it represented bravery

I never knew it then, but I do now

I stand out in a crowd 'cause my skin brown

Now I keep my hair down and I whip it all around

Like it's part of my regalia

Flowin' at a pow wow

Long hair, don't care, I say it proudly

Long hair, don't care, man, I say it loudly

We the first of the nation, with beauty all around us

Long black hair, boy, tell me how you found us

(Tell me a little something about your hair, my cousin, go)

The thing about my hair is that I grow it 'cause I love it

And I'm sick of hearin' people askin' when I'm gonna cut it

You're a native undercover like the Indian in the cupboard

And I'm Johnny Redcorn, I'm a bad muhfucka, ah

(He's a bad muhfucka, ah)

And that's been me ever since birth

Fuck what you heard, I've been called worse

Long hair don't care, man, I'm sick of your opinions

I'ma do me, I'm a motherfuckin' Indian

(Ay) Long hair, long hair

(Ay) Don't care, don't care

(Ay) If ain't nobody likin' what we doin', what we tell 'em, man?

Shit, long hair don't care

(Ay) Long hair, long hair

(Ay) Don't care, don't care

(Ay) If you feel a type of way about Minay, what we say?

Long hair, don't care

When you see me on the street

I notice how you look at me

It's like I'm walkin' into Tiffany's

You can tell yourself you don't see my ethnicity (Okay)

But your eyes say it differently

That's how it's been and this is how it will be

This ain't no epiphany

Even I'm sick of me, the vanity is killin' me

This bullshit's gettin' to my head (No diggity)

Something's gotta give, but what's new?

Is it the brown skin, black flow, or tattoos?

Or the fact that I'm in public, sippin' on a brew?

Someone tell me, what's the difference between me and you?

(Let me think about it)

I ain't got a clue, but I flex on them haters like bamboo

I've been called a dirty chug but it ain't true

Long hair don't care, no shampoo

I'm a rapper gettin' fatter with a mind like skitter scatter

And I'm climbin' up the ladder, talking 'bout what really matters

I got people comin' up like, "Good God

Get your hair cut and get a real job"

I'm a redskin, no outlaws

I don't rock a gold chain, I rock a bear claw

I don't keep my hair long 'cause I don't care

It's long 'cause I'm an Indian, go ahead and stare

(Ay) Long hair, long hair

(Ay) Don't care, don't care

(Ay) If ain't nobody likin' what we doin', what we tell 'em, man?

Shit, long hair don't care

(Ay) Long hair, long hair

(Ay) Don't care, don't care

(Ay) If you feel a type of way about Minay, what we say?

Long hair don't care

(Ay) Long hair, long hair

(Ay) Don't care, don't care

(Ay) If ain't nobody likin' what we doin', what we tell 'em, man?

Shit, long hair don't care

(Ay) Long hair, long hair

(Ay) Don't care, don't care

(Ay) If you feel a type of way about Minay, what we say?

Long hair, don't care
