Back in junior high
I was 16
Head full of ideas
Yung boy big dreams
And how I looked
It was the usual fare
Soccer jersey on
Plus shoulder length hair
And believe me
All those kids used to tease me
Always tellin me that i looked girly
They call me moooogli they call me uugly they call me tarzan
Man but
They could never understand
How afraid i was of getting a short cut
I thought i had elf ears
So i would cut it myself
Until this girl dared me
She declared to me
Let me use these scissors and I'll make you less hairy
I was sick of being scared
And I said yes
In the morning b4 school I got
That long hair dressed
And damn
I didnt look half bad
I saw my hair in the mirror and it felt hella rad
Walkin downthe hallway
And I heard a kid say
You look gay
I looked gay
How do I even look gay
How does my hair influence my sexuality
I'm not afraid i'm not afraid
Of all the japes
And the hate
Try to crush me like a grape
And brew me inna potion
