[CHORUS]
|
I see your true color, shining through
|
I see your true color, an' that's why I love you
|
I see your true color, shining through
|
I see your true color, an' that's why I love you
|
|
[VERSE 1]
|
Yo, father forgive, we all tryin to survive where we live
|
I'd rather feed the homeless eight times than talk to da kids
|
Show 'em life ain't no walk on the bridge
|
Damn as hard as it is, when I be dreamin I be talkin to B.I.G
|
In my hood it ain't no yellow brick road, we hear the shots echo
|
Sneakers hangin from a telephone pole
|
In my ghetto aint no rainbow wit pots a gold
|
but tha was love from tha family when tymes are cold
|
I seen n analyzed tha world from my project roof
|
An' seen the hope in tha eyes of a troubled youth
|
A good kid, I kept this burna in dis motha goose
|
A motherless child,lost in these streets loose
|
in the waterworlds away these are rainy days
|
My man got poped at an early age
|
These cowards run n say he flipped into his early grave
|
They say the good die young, we're headed for dem early gates
|
|
CHORUS
|
|
[VERSE 2]
|
yo,they say this love wasnt meant to be
|
2 people from 2 different worlds,we wasnt meant to be
|
it musta been fate you were sent to me
|
we'll make it through these hard tymes,eventually
|
tha standard fight,walk by faith n not by sight
|
we're all tha same color when you turn off tha lights
|
i take tha sunshine with tha pain
|
wear my Saraguards sad,dats when it rains
|
no fridge,kept tha food on tha window payne
|
we all breathe tha same air so we all tha same
|
im trapped in this ghetto maze tryna make it out
|
if you dont know me dont judge me,wuthcu talkin bout
|
I'm fathered by the boulevard of tha broken dreams
|
single mothas yall my heroes,yall my queens
|
to get my moms out tha hood,thats my hope n dreams
|
to raise my son to be a soldier by any means
|
|
CHORUS TO FADE
