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, 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
Uh ouh oh, uh ouh oh
Why oh why must it be this way
Uh ouh oh, uh ouh oh
Before you can read me you gotta learn how to see me
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 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 really think that the price is 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
Uh ouh oh, uh ouh oh
Why oh why must it be this way
Uh ouh oh, uh ouh oh
Before you can read me you gotta learn how to see me
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
