WHY I WEAR HIJAB ?

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 can't see my hair
Others think I am controlled and uneducated
They think that I am limited and un-liberated
They 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 an abused
They think that I do not have opinions or voice
They think that being hooded isn't 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 eyes there's 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 won't think I am cutie
but at least I am filled with more inner beauty
See I have declined from being a guy's toy
because I won't let myself controlled by a boy
Real men are able to appreciated my mind and aren't busy looking at my behind
Hooded girls are the ones really helping the moslem
cause the role that we play definitely deserves applause

I will be recognized 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 we think is right
Even it means putting up a life long fight

You see.... we are not controlled by a mini skirt and tight skirt
We are given only respect and never treated like dirt
So you see, we are the ones that are free and liberated
We are not the ones that are sexually terrorized and violated
We are the ones that are free ana pure
We're free of STD's that have no cure
So when people ask you how you feel about the hood
Just sum it up by saying "Baby... it's all good!!" :)
