  • Prejudice, wrote a song about it
    Like it hear it? Here it go
    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 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 color
    It doesn't mean I don't like my strong black brothers

    (Mmm-da, mmm-da, mmm-da, mmm-da)
    Why oh why must it be this way?
    (Mmm-da, mmm-da, mmm-da, mmm-da)
    Before you can read me, you've got to learn how to see me, I said
    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 sista, buy things with cash
    That really doesn't mean that all my credit's bad, ooh
    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, ow
    Oh, now attitude, why even bother?
    I can't change your mind, you can't change my color

    (Mmm-da, mmm-da, mmm-da, mmm-da)
    Why oh why must it be this way?
    (Mmm-da, mmm-da, mmm-da, mmm-da)
    Before you can read me, you've got to learn how to see me, I said
    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 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

    (Mmm-da, mmm-da, mmm-da, mmm-da)
    Why oh why must it be this way?
    Before you can read me, you've got to learn how to see me, I said
    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 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
