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 …
