Free Your Mind Songtext

von The Band

You wear tight clothing and them high heeled shoes
It sure don't make you no prostitute
I like rap music and hip hop clothes
It sure don't mean I'm out here selling dope

Please my forgive me for having straight hair
It sure don't mean that my blood ain't fair
I might be another race or color
Don't mean a thing 'cause I sure love my brother

Why, oh why, must it be this way?
Before you can read me
You gotta learn how to see me

Free your mind, the rest will follow
Be colorblind, don't be so shallow
Free your mind, the rest will follow
Be colorblind, don't be so shallow

Now baby sister, you buy things with cash
But that don't mean that your credit is bad
Why dispute me and waste my time
Because they think that their price is too high?

I can't look without being watched
You rang my buy before I make up my mind
A new attitude, why even bother?
I can't change my mind and you can't change my color

Why, oh why, must it be this way?
Gotta learn how to read me
Before you can see me

So free your mind, the rest will follow
Be colorblind, don't be so shallow
Free your mind, the rest will follow
Be colorblind, don't be so shallow

Free your mind, the rest will follow
Be colorblind, don't be so shallow
Free your mind, the rest will follow
Be colorblind, don't be so shallow

Oh why, oh why, must it be this way?
Gotta learn how to read me
Before you can see me

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

Free your mind, the rest will follow
Be colorblind, don't be so shallow
Free your mind, the rest will follow
Be colorblind, don't be so shallow

Free your mind, the rest will follow
Be colorblind, don't be so shallow
Free your mind, the rest will follow
Be colorblind, don't be so shallow
