Foster-McElroy

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 dope

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
