A Literal Interpretation Of Willow Smith's "Whip My Hair"

This song is just...well, stupid. Vapid lyrics to begin with, then they're repeated ad infinitum. It's enough to...well...make you want to rip your hair out! Anyway, here's my "translated" version of the "song." For whatever it's worth. Enjoy?  ~  JH

"WHIP MY HAIR" by Willow Smith

CHORUS:

I fling my tresses backward and forward.

I fling my tresses backward and forward. (Just fling them!)

I fling my tresses backward and forward.

I fling my tresses backward and forward. (Fling them well!)

I fling my tresses backward and forward.

I fling my tresses backward and forward.

I fling my tresses backward and forward.

I fling my tresses backward and forward.

VERSE 1:

I get out of bed.

Turn my confidence on.

We ignore our detractors.

We simply brush them off.

We are not doing anything wrong.

So do not tell me anything.

I am simply attempting to enjoy myself.

So make sure the party stays lively.

So what is going on? (Yes.)

And now they are unsure how to proceed.

We turn our backs on them.

Fling our tresses and simply

Shake them off.

Shake them off.

Shake them off.

Shake them off.

BRIDGE:

I do not allow detractors

To distract me from my goals.

I remain confident, knowing I will be fine.

I continue fighting until I arrive.

And when I feel despondent

And I feel like giving up…

CHORUS:

I fling my tresses backward and forward.

I fling my tresses backward and forward. (Just fling them!)

I fling my tresses backward and forward.

I fling my tresses backward and forward. (Fling them well!)

I fling my tresses backward and forward.

I fling my tresses backward and forward.

I fling my tresses backward and forward.

I fling my tresses backward and forward.

I fling my tresses backward and forward.

I fling my tresses backward and forward. (Just fling them!)

I fling my tresses backward and forward.

I fling my tresses backward and forward. (Fling them well!)

I fling my tresses backward and forward.

I fling my tresses backward and forward.

I fling my tresses backward and forward.

I fling my tresses backward and forward.

VERSE 2:

I am going to glimmer even more shortly.

As soon as I arrive on stage, they clap.

I hear it.

Whether it is black stars

Or black cars

I enjoy it all.

But no one else can fling their tresses like I do. (I do.)

I arrive at the "mm" (?) – I persevere.

When they see my car arrive

I fling my tresses extra-hard.

I fling my tresses extra-hard.

Extra-hard.

I fling my tresses extra-hard.

BRIDGE:

I do not allow detractors

To distract me from my goals.

I remain confident, knowing I will be fine.

I continue fighting until I arrive.

And when I feel despondent

And I feel like giving up…

CHORUS:

I fling my tresses backward and forward.

I fling my tresses backward and forward. (Just fling them!)

I fling my tresses backward and forward.

I fling my tresses backward and forward.

VERSE 3:

To all my female associates

If you can relate.

Go ahead and do this, do this.

Fling your tresses! (fling your tresses)

It doesn't matter if your hair is long or short.

Do it, do it – fling your tresses!

To all my female associates

If you can relate.

Go ahead and do this, do this.
