Lyrics

[Intro]
Prejudice
Wrote a song about it
Like to hear it?
Here it go
[Intro]
Free your mind
[Verse 1]
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
[Verse 2]
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
[PreChorus]
Ooh
Why, oh, why must it be this way?
Ooh
Before you can read me, you got to learn how to see me
I said
[Chorus]
Free your mind and the rest will follow
Be colorblind, don't be so shallow
Free your mind and the rest will follow
Be colorblind, don't be so shallow
[Verse 3]
So I'm a sista, buy things with cash
That really doesn't mean that all my credit's bad, oh
So why dispute me and waste my time
Because you really think the price is high for me
[Verse 4]
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
[PreChorus]
Ooh
Why, oh, why must it be this way?
Ooh
Before you can read me, you got to learn how to see me
I said
[Chorus]
Free your mind and the rest will follow
Be colorblind, don't be so shallow
Free your mind and the rest will follow
Be colorblind, don't be so shallow
[Chorus]
Free your mind and the rest will follow
Be colorblind, don't be so shallow
Free your mind and the rest will follow
Be colorblind, don't be so shallow
[Chorus]
Free your mind
[Chorus]
Ooh
Why, oh, why must it be this way?
Before you can read me, you got to learn how to see me
I said
[Chorus]
Free your mind and the rest will follow
Be colorblind, don't be so shallow
Free your mind and the rest will follow
Be colorblind, don't be so shallow
[Chorus]
Free your mind and the rest will follow
Be colorblind, don't be so shallow
Free your mind and the rest will follow
Be colorblind, don't be so shallow
[Outro]
Free your mind
