[Intro: Jacques E. Earley]
Free your mind, free your soul
Free your behind
En Vogue, the funky divas
Damn, that's funky

[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 rest 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 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, and oh
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

[Verse 3: Jacques E. Earley]
Free your mind, free your soul (Soul)
Black and white, to prejudice, just say no
Bigotry's the enemy (Enemy)
The family of man has got to understand (Alright now)
Follow a new plan
One of hope and love sent from Heaven above (From Heaven above)
Without justice, where's the peace?
Don't lend or give 'em your hand, kill your fellow woman or man

Free your mind and the rest will follow
Be color blind, don't be so shallow
Free your mind

Free your behind
Free your mind, free your soul
