I wear tight clothing and high heel shoes
that doesn't make me a prostitute
i like rap music, wear hip hop clothes
that doesn't mean that i'm sellin' dope
Oh my please forgive me for having straight hair
it doesn't mean there's another blood in my heirs
i might date another race or color
doesn't mean i don't like my strong black brothers
Free your mind and the rest will follow
(why oh why must it be this way)
be color blind don't be so shallow
(before you can read me you gotta learn how to see me)
So i'm a sista
buy things with cash
that really doesn't mean that all my credit's bad
So why dispute me and waste my time
because you think that the price is too high for me
i can't look without being watched
you rang my buy before i made up my mind
Oh now attitude why even bother
i can't change your mind, you can't change my color
Free your mind and the rest will follow
(why oh why must it be this way)
be color blind, don't be so shallow
(before you can read me, you gotta learn to see me
