[Verse 1: En Vogue]
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 color
It doesn't mean I don't like my strong black brothers

[Pre-Chorus: En Vogue]
Mmm-dah, mmm-dah, mmm-dah, mmm-dah
Why oh why must it be this way?
Mmm-dah, mmm-dah, mmm-dah, mmm-dah
Before you can read me you gotta learn how to see me, I said

[Chorus: En Vogue]
Free your mind and the rest will follow
Be color blind, don't be so shallow
Free your mind and the rеst will follow
Be color blind, don't be so shallow

[Verse 2: En Vogue]
So I'm a sista, buy things with cash
That really doеsn'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, OW!
Oh now attitude, why even bother?
I can't change your mind, you can't change my color
[Pre-Chorus: En Vogue]
Mmm-dah, mmm-dah, mmm-dah, mmm-dah
Why oh why must it be this way?
Mmm-dah, mmm-dah, mmm-dah, mmm-dah
Before you can read me you gotta learn how to see me, I said

[Chorus: En Vogue]
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
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
Free your mind

[Verse 3: Ray Luv]
Ray Luv's in the house so believe this
Bringin' this funky track with my girls, the Funky Divas
Talkin' about a topic that my homies is addressin'
No censorship here 'cause it's all about expression
Really it's all about how you see yourself
Don't judge me for my dress code, kid, be yourself
'Cause I do rap, you play me for a hood
I probably do drugs and I must be no good
But I'm intelligent, my mind's sharp as a razorblade
A hundred percent street and out to get major paid
But before I go, peace out to En Vogue
Terry, Dawn, Cindy, Maxine, blow
[Pre-Chorus: En Vogue]
Mmm-dah, mmm-dah, mmm-dah, mmm-dah
Why oh why must it be this way?
Before you can read me you gotta learn how to see me, I said

[Chorus: En Vogue]
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
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
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

[Outro: En Vogue]
Free your mind
