What do you see when you look at me?
Do you see someone limited,
Or someone free
All some people can do is just look and stare
Simply because they cant see my hair
Others think I am controlled and uneducated
They think I am limited and unlimited
They are so thankful that they are not me
because they would like to remain "free"
Well free isnt exactly the word
I would have used
Decribing women who are cheated on and abused
They think that I do not have opinions and voice
They think that being hooded isnt my choice
They think that the hood makes me look caged
That my husband or dad are totally outraged
All they can do is look at me in fear
and in my eye there is a tear
not because I have been stared at
or made fun of
But because people are ignoring the one up above
On the Day Of Judgement they will be the fools
Because they were too ashamed to play by their own rules
Maybe the guys wont think
Im a cutie
But at least I am filled with
more inner beauty
See I have declined from being a guy`s toy
Because I wont let myself be controlled by a boy
Real men are able to appreciate my mind
And arent busy looking at my behind
Hooded girls are the ones really
helping the muslim cause
the role that we play definitely deserves applause
I`ll be recognised because I am smart and bright
and because some people are inspired by my sight
The smart ones are attracted by my tranquility
In the back of their mind they wish they were me
We have the strength to do what`s right
Even if it means putting up a long life fight
You see we are not controlled by mini skirt and tight shirt
we are given only respect and never treated like dirt
You see we are the ones that are free and liberated
We are not the ones that are
sexually terrorised and violated
We are the ones that are free and pure
We`re free of STD `s that have no cure
So when people aske you how you feel
about the hood
Just sum it up by saying
"BABY, ITS ALL GOOD"
