Fredro Star - Shining Through lyrics

rate me

I see your true colors shining through,<br />

I see your true colors<br />

and that's why I love you.(yo im from the ghetto) <br />

I see your true <br />

colors, (straight up) shining through<br />

I see your true colors, Thats why i love you<br />

(I'm not gonna make it up ) <br />

<br />

(yo) it's hard to forget, we all trynna survive and we live<br />

I'd rather feed the homeless and take time to talk to their kids<br />

show them life aint a walk on the bridge, damn as hard as it is<br />

when I be dreaming I be talking the big<br />

in my hood there aint no yellow brick road,<br />

you hear that shot, echo<br />

sneakers hanging from a telephone pole<br />

in my ghetto aint no rainbow or no pots of gold<br />

but there was love from the family when times are cold<br />

I stayed and analysed the world from a project youth<br />

I seen the hope in the eyes of a troubled youth<br />

a good kipper kept it burning in this bubble goose<br />

a motherless child lost in these streets loose<br />

in the world of more these are rainy days<br />

my man got popped at an early age<br />

his college funds saved flipping through his early grave<br />

they said the good the young were headed for them pearly gates<br />

<br />

I see your true colors, shining through (straight up )<br />

I see your true (I can see through you man) colors,<br />

that's why I love you<br />

(I know you really aint like that) I see your true colors,<br />

shining through<br />

I see your true colors, that's why I love you<br />

<br />

yo, they say this love wasn't meant to be<br />

two people from two different worlds, we wasn't meant to be<br />

it musta been fate you were sent to me<br />

we'll make it through these hard times eventually<br />

let's stand and fight, walk by faith but not by sight<br />

we're all the same color when you turn out the lights<br />

I'll take the sunshine with the pain<br />

grab my serin car said thats when it rains<br />

no fridge kept the food on the window pane<br />

we all breathe the same air so we all the same<br />

I'm trapped in this ghetto maze trynna make it out<br />

if you don't know me don't judge me - what you talkin 'bout<br />

I bought the bottom boulevard of the broken dreams<br />

single mother's you're my heroes you're my queens, to get<br />

my mums out the hood that's my hope and dreams<br />

to raise my son to be a soldier by any means<br />

<br />

I see your true colors, shining through<br />

I see your true colors, that's why I love you<br />

I see your true colors, shining through<br />

I see your true colors, that's why I love you<br />

<br />

I see your true colors, shining through<br />

I see your true colors, that's why I love you<br />

I see your true colors, shining through<br />

I see your true colors, that's why I love you
