Feed Your Mind
Free your mind
Feed Your Mind was a 1990s TBS television series.
Free your mind and arrest your bottom
Free your mind and the rest will follow
Free your mind and the rest will follow
Because I'm black, don't be so shallow.
Free your mind and the rest will follow
Be color blind, don't be so shallow.
Free your mind and duress will follow
or
Free your mind and unrest will follow
or
Free your mind and arrest will follow
or
Free your mind and your ass will follow
or
Free your mind and your ass will follow
Free your mind and the rest will follow
Freed your mind and the rest will follow,
Because I've got no piece of shadow
Free your mind and the rest will follow,
Be colour blind, don't be so shallow.
With this being a feminist anthem, I thought the "piece of shadow" part which I misheard was refering to male genitalia.
I can't look without being washed, and oh
You rang my bride before I made up my mind
I can't look without being watched, and oh
You rang my buy before I made up my mind
I like rock music; wear hip-hop clothes; that doesn't mean that I'm a Seminole.
I like rap music; wear hip-hop clothes; that doesn't mean that I'm sellin' dope no.
I like rough music, wear hip-hop clothes
(Later)
Free your mind, a giraffe will follow
I like rap music, wear hip-hop clothes
(Later)
Free your mind and the rest will follow
Oh ma forgive me for heaven's stray hen
It doesn't mean there's another bird in my egg
Oh my please forgive me for having straight hair
It doesn't mean there's another blood in my heirs
Oh my please forgive me for having straight hair
It doesn't mean there's a perm in my hair
Oh my please forgive me for having straight hair
It doesn't mean there's another blood in my heirs
Oh my, forgive me for having street hair
Oh my, forgive me for having straight hair
Oh please forgive me for heavenly hair
It doesn't mean there's another blood in my heirs.
Oh my please forgive me for having straight hair
It doesn't mean there's another blood in my heirs.
