Why oh why must it be this way Before you can read me you got to learn how to see me, I said 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 sistah Buy things with cash That really doesn't mean that all my credit's bad, oooh So why dispute me and waste my time Because you really feel 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 Why oh why must it be this way? Before you can read me you got to learn how to see me, I said 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 Why oh why must it be this way? Before you can read me you gotta learn how to see me, I said Free your mind and the rest will follow Be color blind, don't be so shallow FREE YOUR MIND!
