I see your true colors shining through
I see your true color and that's why I love you
(I'm frum the ghetto)
I see your true color shining through
(straight up)
I see your true color and that's why I love you baby
(we'll make it up)

Yo, don't forget we all tryin to survive where we live,
I'd rather feed the homeless,
take time,
or talk to the kids,
show them life ain't a walk on the bridge,
damn as hard as it is,
when I be dreaming I be talkin the big
in my hood it ain't no yellow brick road
You hear the shots, echo,
Sneakers hangin from a telephone pole
in my ghetto ain't no rainbow, no pots of gold
but there was love from the family when times are cold
I sit and analyze the world from my project roof
and seen the hope in the eyes of a troubled youth
a good killa keppa burnin in this rubber goose
a motherless child lost in these streets loose
In the mortal world this is a rainy day
my man got popped at an early age
his college friends say fliped in to his early grave
they say the good, the young be headed to them pearly gates

I see your true color shining through
(straight up)
I see your true color and that's why I love you
(i can see through you)
I see your true color shining thru
(i know you ain't really like that)
I see your true color and that's why I love you

Yo, they say this love wuzn't meant to be,
two people from two different worlds we wuzn't meant to be
it must of been fate you were sent to me
we'll make it through these hard times.. Eventually
let's stand and fight, walk by faith, not by sight
we're all the same color when you turn out the light
i'll take the sunshine with the pain
grab my savior gods sad that's when it rains
no frige kept the food on the window pane
we all breathe the same air
So we all the same
I'm trapped in this ghetto maze tryin to make it out
if you don't kno me don't judge me what you talkin bout
of all the bottom boulavards of the broken dreams,
single mothers your my heros, your my queens
to get muh moms out the hood,
thats' my hope and dreams
to raise my son to be a soldier by any means

I see your true color shining thru
(i see your true color)
I see your true color and that's why I love you
(true colors)
I see your true color shining thru
(ohhh)
I see your true color and that's why I love you
I see your true color shining thru
(i see… And I kno its true)
repeat 3Ч
mmm hmmm true colors I c baby..
(music fades)
