I'd like to meet:

What do you see when you look at me Do you see someone limited, or someone freeAll some people can do is just look and stare Simply because they can't see my hairOthers think I am controlled and uneducated They think that I am limited and un-liberatedThey are so thankful that they are not me Because they would like to remain 'free'Well free isn't exactly the word I would've used Describing women who are cheated on and abusedThey think that I do not have opinions or voice They think that being hooded isn't my choiceThey think that the hood makes me look caged That my husband or dad are totally outragedAll they can do is look at me in fear And in my eye there is a tearNot because I have been stared at or made fun of But because people are ignoring the one up aboveOn the day of judgment they will be the fools Because they were too ashamed to play by their own rulesMaybe the guys won't think I am a cutie But at least I am filled with more inner beautySee I have declined from being a guy's toy Because I won't let myself be controlled by a boyReal men are able to appreciate my mind And aren't busy looking at my behindHooded girls are the ones really helping the muslim cause The role that we play definitely deserves applauseI will be recognized because I am smart and bright And because some people are inspired by my sightThe smart ones are attracted by my tranquility In the back of their mind they wish they were meWe have the strength to do what we think is right Even if it means putting up a life long fightYou see we are not controlled by a mini skirt and tight shirt We are given only respect, and never treated like dirtSo you see, we are the ones that are free and liberated We are not the ones that are sexually terrorized and violatedWe are the ones that are free and pure We're free of STD's that have no cureSo when people ask you how you feel about the hood Just sum it up by saying 'baby its all good' ;)
