CHORUS
I see your true color,shinnin through
I see your true color,n thats why I love you
I see your true color,shinnin through
I see your true color,n thats why I love you
VERSE 1
yo,fatha forgive,we all tryna survive where we live
id ratha feed tha homeless 8 tymes n talk to dae kids
showem life aint no walk on tha bridge
damn as hard as it is,when I be dreamin I be talkin ta B.I.G
in my head it aint no yellow brick road,we hear tha shots echo
sneakers hangin from a telephone pole
in my ghetto aint no rainbow wit pots a gold
but tha was love from tha family when tymes are cold
I seen n analyzed tha world from my project roof
n seen tha hope in tha eyes of a troubled youth
a good kip,I kept this burna in dis motha goose
a motherless child,lost in these streets loose
in tha waterworlds away these are rainy days
my man got poped at an early age
these cowards run n say he flipped into his early grave
they say tha good die young,were headed for dem early gates
CHORUS
VERSE 2
yo,they say this love wasnt meant to be
2 people from 2 different worlds,we wasnt meant to be
it musta been fate you were sent to me
we'll make it through these hard tymes,eventually
tha standard fight,walk by faith n not by sight
we're all tha same color when you turn off tha lights
I take tha sunshine with tha pain
wear my Saraguards sad,dats when it rains
no fridge,kept tha food on tha window payne
we all breathe tha same air so we all tha same
im trapped in this ghetto maze tryna make it out
if you dont know me dont judge me,wuthcu talkin bout
im far dividable of ard of tha broken dreams
single mothas yall my heroes,yall my queens
to get my moms out tha hood,thats my hope n dreams
to raise my son to be a soldier by any means
CHORUS TO FADE
