[Verse 1]
I see your true colors shining through
I see your true colors
And that's why I love you
I see your true colors shining through
I see your true colors
And that's why I love you baby
[Verse 2]
And you won't believe the things I seen
Straight up
Yeah
Yeah, I'm from the ghetto
I'm gonna make it out, man
[Verse 3]
Father forgive, we all tryna survive where we live
I'd rather feed the homeless, take time and talk to the kids
Show 'em life ain't a walk in the bridge
Damn as hard as it is
When I be dreaming, I be talking to Big
In my hood, it ain't no yellow brick road
You hear the shots echo
Sneakers hanging from a telephone pole
In my ghetto ain't no rainbow or pots of gold
But there was love from the family when times got cold
I sat and analyzed the world from my project roof
And seen the hope in the eyes of a troubled youth
A good kid but kept a burner in his ???
A motherless child, lost in these streets, loose
And the more the words array, these are rainy days
My man got popped at an early age
His college funds saved flipped it to his early grave
They say the good die young, we're headed for them pearly gates
[Verse 4]
I see your true colors shining through
I see your true colors
And that's why I love you
I see your true colors shining through
I see your true colors
And that's why I love you baby
[Verse 5]
They say this love wasn't meant to be
Two people from two different worlds, we wasn't meant to be
It must have been fate, she was sent to me
We'll make it through these hard times eventually
Let's stand and fight, walk by faith and not by sight
We're all the same color when you turn out the lights
I take the sunshine with the pain
Grandma said when God's sad, that's when it rains
No fridge, kept the food on the windowpane
We all breathe the same air, so we all the same
I'm trapped in this ghetto maze trying to make it out
If you don't know me, don't judge me, what you talking 'bout
I'm bothered by the boulevard of the broken dreams
Single mothers, y'all my heroes, y'all my queens
To get my moms out the hood, that's my hope and dreams
To raise my son to be a soldier by any means
[Verse 6]
I see your true colors shining through
I see your true colors
And that's why I love you
I see your true colors shining through
I see your true colors
And that's why I love you baby
I see your true colors shining through
I see your true colors
And that's why I love you
I see your true colors shining through
I see your true colors
And that's why I love you baby
