high heel shoes

It doesn't mean that

I'm a prostitute

wear hip hop clothes

That doesn't mean

that I'm sellin'

dope no no no

Oh well forgive me

for having

straight hair no

It doesn't mean

blood in my heirs

race or colour

It doesn't mean

I don't like my

strong black brothers

Why oh why

must it be this way?

Before you can read

me you gotta learn

how to see me

I say

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

mean that all my

credit's bad

Oh so why

high for me

I can't look

without being

watched no

You rang my buy

before I made up

my mind
