Fredro Starr - True Colors lyrics

rate me

Jill Scott:

I see your true colours shinin through, I see your true colors, and that's why i love you (x2)

Starr: [talking] yo, im from the ghetto... straight up... i won't make it up...

Yo, father forgive

we all tryin to survive where we live

I'd rather feed a homeless [?] in time and talk to their kids

Show em life ain't a walk in the bridge?

Damn it's hard as it is

When i be dreamin

I be talkin to B.I.G.

And my hood it ain't no yellow brick road

You hear the shots (echo)

sneakers hangin from the telephone pole

And my ghetto ain't no rainbow (or pots of gold)

But there was love from the family

When times got cold

I sit and analyze the world from my project roof

I seen the hope in the eyes of a trouble youth

?

A good kid, I kept this burna in dis motha goose

**A motherless child lost in these streets lose**

And the moral of the day: These are rainy days

My man got popped at an early age

His college fund saved up to his early grave

They say the good die young

We're headed for them pearly gates

Jill Scott:

I see your true colours shinin through, I see your true colors, and that's why i love you (x2)

Starr: [talking] Staight up, I can see through you man, i know you ain't really like that

They say this love wasn't meant to be

Two people from two different worlds

We wasn't meant to be

It musta been fate you 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 colour when you turn out the lights

I take the sunshine with the pain

Where my {saren?} guards at, thats when it rains

No fridge, 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 know me, don't judge me

What you talkin bout?

A father, boulevard of the broken dreams

Single mothers, ya'll my heros, ya'll my Queens

To get my moms out the hood thats my hope and dreams

To raise my son to be a soldier by any means

Jill Scott:

I see your true colours shinin through, I see your true colors, and that's why i love you (x2)

i see, and i knwo its true, i know, i see em! yeeeaahh .. true colors.. i see baby ...
