Free Your Mind

I wear tight clothing high heel shoes
It doesn't mean that I'm a prostitute, no no
I like rap music wear hip hop clothes
That doesn't mean that I'm sellin' dope, no no no
Oh my forgive me for having straight hair
It doesn't mean there's another blood in my heirs, yeah yeah
I might date another race or color
It doesn't mean I don't like my strong black brothers

Why oh why must it be this way
Before you can read me you gotta learn how to see me
I say

Free your mind and the rest will follow
Be color blind don't be so shallow (2X)

So I'm a sista buy things with cash
That really doesn't mean that all my credit is bad
So why dispute me and waste my time
Because you think that the price is too high for me
I can't look without being watched, you know
You rang my buy before I made up my mind
Oh now attitude why even bother
I can't change your mind you can't change my color

Why oh why must it be this way
Before you can read me you gotta learn how to see me
I say

Free your mind and the rest will follow
Be color blind don't be so shallow (4X)

Free your mind...
