Lyrics:

Free your mind

I wear tight clothing, high-heeled 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 out sellin' dope, no, no, no

Oh my, forgive me for having straight hair, no

It doesn't mean there's another blood in my heir, yeah, yeah

I might date another race or colour

It doesn't mean I don't like my strong black brothers

Why, oh why must it be this way?

(Oh, oh, oh, oh)

Before you can read me

You got to learn how to see me

I said

Free your mind

And the rest will follow

Be colour-blind

Don't be so shallow

Free your mind

And the rest will follow

Be colour-blind

Don't be so shallow

So I'm a sista

Buy things with cash

That really doesn't mean that all my credit's bad

Oh

So why dispute me and waste my time?

Because you really think the price is high for me

I can't look without being watched, no

You rang my buy before I made up my mind

Oww

Oh, now attitude

Why even bother?

I can't change your mind

You can't change my colour

Why, oh why must it be this way?

(Oh, oh, oh, oh)

Before you can read me

You got to learn how to see me

I said

Free your mind

And the rest will follow

Be colour-blind

Don't be so shallow

Free your mind

And the rest will follow

Be colour-blind

Don't be so shallow

Free your mind

And the rest will follow

Be colour-blind

Don't be so shallow

Why, oh, why must it be this way?

Free your mind

And the rest will follow

Be colour-blind

Don't be so shallow

Free your mind

Before you can read me

You got to learn how to see me

I said

Free your mind, and the rest will follow

Be colour-blind, don't be so shallow

Free your mind, and the rest will follow

Be colour-blind, don't be so shallow

Free your mind

Free your mind, and the rest will follow

Be colour-blind, don't be so shallow

Free your mind, and the rest will follow

Be colour-blind, don't be so shallow
