free your mind

ı wear tight clothing, high heeled shoes
ıt doesn't mean that ı'm a prostitute no, no!
ı like rap music, wear hip-hop clothes
that doesn't mean that ı'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!
ı might date another race or colour
ıt doesn't mean ı don't like my strong black brothers!

why, oh why must it be this way?
(ohhh, ohhh, ohhh, ohhh)
before you can read me
you got to learn how to see me!

so ı'm a sista
buy things with cash
that really doesn't mean that all my credit's bad
ohhh!

so why dispute me and waste my time?
because you really think the price is high for me
ı can't look without being watched, no!
you rang my buy before ı made up my mind
oww!

oh now attitude
why even bother?
ı can't change your mind
you can't change my colour

why, oh why must it be this way?
(ohhh, ohhh, ohhh, ohhh)
before you can read me
you got to learn how to see me!
