  • 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?
    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?
    What you say to me?
    What you say to me? (yeah)
    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?
