Free Your Mind Songtext
von En Vogue

(Prejudice, wrote a song about it)
(Like to hear it? Here it go!)
Free your mind

I wear tight clothing, 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 colour
It doesn't mean I don′t like my strong black brothers

(Ooh da-da, ooh da-da, ooh da-da, ooh da-da)
Why, oh why must it be this way?
(Oh, oh, oh, oh)
Before you can read me
You got to learn how to see me
I said


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

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
I can't look without being watched, no
You rang my buy before I made up my mind
Oww

Oh, now attitude
Why even bother?
I can′t change your mind
You can′t change my colour

(Ooh da-da, ooh da-da, ooh da-da, ooh da-da)
Why, oh why must it be this way?
(Oh, oh, oh, oh)
Before you can read me
You got to learn how to see me
I said


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
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

(Ooh da-da, ooh da-da, ooh da-da, ooh da-da)
Why, oh, why must it be this way?

Before you can read me
You got to learn how to see me
I said

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, 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
