You wear that clothes and them high heel shoes

That sure don't make you no prostitute

I like rap music and hip hop clothes

It sure don't mean

I'm out there selling d**e

Please forgive me for having straight hair

It sure don't mean that my blood ain't there

I might be another race or colour

Don't mean a thing 'cause

I sure love my brothers

Why oh why must it be this a way

Before you can read me you got to learn how to see me

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

Now baby sister you buy things with cash

But that don't mean that your credit is bad

So why dispute me and waste my time

Because you think that the price is too high

I can't look without being watched

You rang my buy before

I made up my mind

New attitude why even bother

I can't change my mind and you can't change my colour

Why oh why must it be this a way

Before you can read me

I know you can see me

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 the rest will follow

Be colour blind don't be so shallow

Free your mind the rest will follow

Be colour blind don't be so shallow

Oh why oh why must it be this a way

Before you can read me

I know you can see me

Free your mind the rest will follow

Be colour blind don't be so shallow

Free your mind the rest will follow

Be colour blind don't be so shallow
