Hair Lyrics
Graham Central Station
Lyrics
People ask me everywhere
They say, is that really all your hair?
I just tell them it it ain't
Well it sho' don't mean that now I cain't
'Cause I just don't believe it's fair
To judge a man
By the length of his hair
Take two words like hip and square, well
The truth will shine and not your hair
Even the blind can damn near see
What's outside you and inside me
Down or high, truth or lie
A weak man's laugh can be
A strong man's cry
Black or blonde or nappy or fair
You can't judge nobody by hair
If I thought that you would care
I'd wear a wig up under my hair
Down or high, truth or lie
A weak man's laugh can be
A strong man's cry
People ask me everywhere
Is that really all your hair?
I just tell them if it ain't
Well, it sho' don't mean that now
I cain't
I just don't believe it's fair
To judge a man by the
Length of his hair

The lyrics to this track are about encouraging people to be proud of their hair, no matter what style it is. They sing “Don’t let nobody tell you different/It don’t matter if it ain’t long/Be yourself and just do your thing/Let your hair down, let it hang.” This anthem encourages self-expression through one’s hairstyle, making it a classic hit.
