Free Your Mind
En Vogue
"I wear tight clothing, high heel shoes
It doesn't mean that I'm a prostitute
I like rap music, wear hip hop clothes
That doesn't mean that I'm sellin' dope
Oh, ma, forgive me, for having straight hair
It doesn't mean there's another blood in my heirs
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
Free your mind and the rest will follow
Be color blind, don't be so shallow
So I'm a sister, buy things with cash
That really doesn't mean that all my credit's bad
So why dispute me and waste my time
Because you really think the price is too high for me
I can't look without being watched
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
Free your mind and the rest will follow
Be color blind, don't be so shallow
Free your mind!
Why, oh, why must it be this way?
Before you can read me you gotta learn how to see me!
Free your mind ... !"
