I wear tight clothing, high-heeled shoes
It doesn't mean that I'm a prostitute no, no
I like rap music, wear hip-hop clothes
That doesn't mean that I'm out 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, yeah, yeah
I might date another race or colour
It doesn't mean I don't like my strong black brothers
(Ooh da-da, ooh da-da, ooh da-da, ooh da-da)
Why, oh why must it be this way?

So I'm a sista
Buy things with cash
That really doesn't mean that all my credit's bad
Oh
So why dispute me and waste my time?
Because you really think the price is high for me
I can't look without being watched, no
You rang my buy before I made up my mind
Oww
Oh, now attitude
Why even bother?
I can't change your mind
You can't change my colour
