About

“Don’t Touch My Hair” sees Solange setting limits to the degree in which she’ll compromise her beliefs and identity to satisfy other people.

Asking to touch a Black woman’s hair is a racial microaggression masquerading as a compliment. In a patriarchal, white-dominated society, it denies black wome...

Don’t Touch My Hair Lyrics

[Verse 1: Solange]
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

[Pre-Chorus: Solange]
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

[Chorus: Solange]
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

[Post-Chorus: Sampha & Both]
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?

[Verse 2: Solange]
Don't touch my pride
They say the glory's all mine
Don't test my mouth
They say the truth is my sound

[Pre-Chorus: Solange]
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

[Chorus: Solange]
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

[Post-Chorus: Sampha & Both]
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?

[Instrumental Break]

[Outro: Both]
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?
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?
