I see you're true colors shinning through I see your true colors and that why I love you I see your (one for the ghetto) true colors shinning through (straight up) I see your true (I am make it out) colors and that's why I love you
Yo father forgive we all trying to survive were we live I'd rather feed the homeless and take time talk to the kids Show them that life ain't no walk on the bridge Damn as hard 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 poll In my ghetto there aint no rainbow or pots o gold But there was love from the family when times were cold I sit an analyze the world from my roof seen the hope in the eyes of the trouble youth A good killa kept a burner in his bubble goose a mother less child lost in these streets lose In the murder days these are rainy days my man got poped at an early age His college fund saved flipped into his grave they say the good die young were headed for them pearly gates
I see you're true colors shinning through I see your true colors and that why I love you I see your true colors shinning through I see your true colors and that's why I love you
Yo they say this love wasn't meant to be Two people from different worlds we wasn't be It must have been faith you were sent to me Will make it threw these hard times eventually The standard fight brought by faith not by sight We all the same color when u turn out the lights I take the sunshine with the pain Grab my Sara gone sad that when it rains No French kept the food on the window pain We all breath the same air so we all the same I am 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 am dividable by broken dreams Single moms you my heroes you my queens To get my mom out the hood that is my hopes and dreams to reach my son to be a solja by any means
I see you're true colors shinning through I see your true colors and that why I love you I see your true colors shinning through I see your true colors and that's why I love you

What if Eminem was black? Would he have sold five mill'? or would he be 1 out of 5 million rappers with no deal? What if you had to pay for air? a dollar a breath half the hood would fuckin pass out and choke to death What if hip hop was banned in 52 states? they'd give you 5 years a piece for wreckin cd's and tapes What if the world stopped? no more time,fuck a watch What if there's no laws no jails,and no more cops?
