sweat sexteen 15

A Gay Man's Life
...in song
...in 16 parts

stage 15: ADVOCACY



your recent experiences lead you to join the fight to make this experience available and accessible to others. Name, claim and proclaim. You either join an LGBT organization or just simply stand up and fight.

Theme song: free your mind (sung by en vogue)



I wear tight clothing,
high heeled shoes

It doesn't mean that I'm a prostitute,
no, no, no


I like rap music, wear hip hop clothes

That doesn't mean that I'm sellin' dope
no, no, no


Oh my forgive me
for having straight hair,
no 
It doesn't mean there's another blood in my heir, ya,

ya
I might date another race or color

It doesn't mean I don't like my strong black brothers.


oh la la, oh la la, oh la la, oh la la


Why oh why must it be this way?

oh la la, oh la la, oh la la, oh la la

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



oh la la, oh la la, oh la la, oh la la

Why oh why must it be this way?

oh la la, oh la la, oh la la, oh la la

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....

Free Your mind!


oh la la, oh la la, oh la la, oh la la

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 and the rest will follow

Be color blind, don't be so shallow....

Free your mind!
