Free Your Mind by En Vogue

Prejudice, wrote a song about it
Like to hear it? Here it go, free your mind

I wear tight clothin', 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 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've gotta 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 sistah 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 and, oh
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

Why, oh, why must it be this way?
Before you can read me
You've gotta 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

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
Free your mind
