Free Your Mind

She wears tight clothing and high heeled shoes
But that doesn't mean that she's a prostitute, hell no
She likes rap music, wears hip hop clothes
But that doesn't mean that she's selling dope, no, no, no
Oh my forgive her for having straight hair, no
It doesn't mean that there's another blood in her head, yeah, yeah
Not yet another race or colour
Take off the blindfold and try to realize right now

Why, oh, why must it be this way?
Before you can read me
You've got to learn how to see me, I say

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 she's a sista, buys things with cash
But that doesn't mean all her credit's all bad
So why dispute her and waste her time?
Because you really think the price is too high for her
She can look like Bill Watts
She wears the parts 'cause she's made up of my head
Bullshit attitude, why even bother?
Can't change your mind, can't change your colour

Why, oh, why must it be this way?
Before you can read me
You've got to learn how to see me, I say

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
Be colour blind
Free your mind
Be colour blind

Yeah, she wears tight clothing and high heeled shoes
But that doesn't mean she's a prostitute
She likes rap music, wears hip hop clothes

And that doesn't mean she's selling dope
She's a sista, (Free your) buys things with cash
And that doesn't mean (Free your) that her credit's bad
So why, why (Free your) dispute and just waste her time?
You don't think (Free your) that the price is too high?
Just free your mind (Free your) and the rest will follow
Be colour blind, (Free your) fuck, don't be so shallow

Free your mind (Free your) and the rest will follow
Be colour blind, free your mind

Why, oh, why must it be this way?
Before you can read me
You've got to learn how to see me, I say

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
Be colour blind
Free your mind
Free your mind
Free your mind
