Don't touch my hair, don't touch my beard
Olive, coconut oils to protect my edge
Had me hanging by a thread, probably think I'm weird
Had me raising my head tryna keep back tears
Had me holding my tongue like a reebok pump
Had me watching my step like the east side stomp
Had me checking my tone like how we played on the phone
Back when my favorite video was Mike, "Leave Me Alone"
Had my fitted on straight across the street from the stones
Couldn't hit the door late, my mama hit yo phone
Had my visions on paper from the day we was told
Two in three ain't gon make it cross the stage in a robe
Had me thinking one in ten of us was freer than most
Had me speaking differently in front of people from home
Had me treating women like a game to cheat and control
Had me being everything the overseer was on
Had to see I was wrong with every season I've grown
Ain't nothing wrong with being me I had to come back home
Ain't nothing wrong with being we, whatever that you on
It ain't no price on being free you betta get yo own
Whatever life you wanna lead you betta live yo own
Whatever loving that you need you betta get put on
Whatever future that you see you betta build that jawn
It ain't no price on being me you betta get yo own

Don't Touch My Beard
