Fredro Starr f/ Jill Scott - "True Colors" "I see your true colors shining through... I see your true colors and that's why I love you I see your (one for the ghetto) true colors shining through (straight up) I see your true colors (Imma make it out) and that's why I love you, baby… Yo father forgive, we all trying to survive were we live I'd rather feed the homeless and take time to talk to the kids Show them that life ain't no walk on 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 aint no rainbow or pots of gold But there was love from the family when times were cold I sit and analyze the world from my private roof & seen the hope in the eyes of the troubled youth A good killa kept a burner in his bubble goose, a mother-less child lost in these streets loose In the murder days these are rainy days, my man got popped at an early age His college fund saved flipped into his early grave, they say the good die young, were headed for them pearly gates. I see your true colors shining through... I see your true colors and that's why I love you (I know you aint really like that) I see your true colors shining 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 two different worlds; we wasn't to be It must've been faith you were sent to me We'll make it through these hard times, eventually The standard fight brought by faith n not by sight We're all the same color when you turn out the lights I take the sunshine with the pain Grab my Sara gone sad, that's when it rains No French 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, trying to make it out If you don't know me, don't judge me whatchu talkin bout? I am dividable by broken dreams Single mothers; ya'll my heroes... ya'll my queens To get my mom out the hood; that's my hopes and dreams to raise my son to be a soldier by any means 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..."
