Shining through


I see your true (you won't believe the things i've seen) colours, shining through(straight up) i see your true colours, (yeah) thats why i love you(now from the ghetto) i see your true colours, (straight up) shining through [shining through]i see your true colours, (i'm not gonna make it up man) thats why i love you (
Yo) its hard to forget, we all trynna survive and we livei'd rather feed the homeless and take time to talk to their kidsshow them life aint a walk on the bridge, damn as hard as it iswhen i be dreaming i be talking the bigin my hood there aint no yellow brick road, you hear that shot, set gosneak this thing from a telephone polein my ghetto there aint no rainbow or pots of goldbut there was love from the family when times are coldi stayed and analysed the world from a project youthi seen the hope in the eyes of a troubled youtha good kipper kept it burning in this bubble goosea motherless child lost in these streets loosein the world of more these are rainy daysmy man got popped at an early agehis college funds saved flipping through his early gravethey said the good the young were headed for them pearly gates
I see your true colours, shining through (straight up man)i see your true (i can see through you man) colours, thats why i love you(i know you really aint like that) i see your true colours, shining through [shining through]i see your true colours, thats why i love you
They say this love wasn't meant to betwo people from two different worlds, we wasn't meant to beit musta been fate you were sent to mewe'll make it through these hard times eventuallywe stand and fight, we'll walk by faith but not by sightwe're all the same colour when you turn out the lightsi take the sunshine with the paingrab my serin car said thats when it rainsyou know friends kept the food on the window panewe all breathe the same air so we all the samei'm trapped in this ghetto maze trynna make it outif you don't know me don't judge me - what you talkin 'bouti bought the bottom bull the car of the broken dreamssingle mother worries now of her son and the hopes and dreamsto raise my son to be a soldier by any means
I see your true colours, shining throughi see your true colours, thats why i love youi see your true colours, shining throughi see your true colours, thats why i love you (repeat)
Let your love, let your life, i see your true colourlet your life, let your love, let your light shine brighti see your true colourlet your life, let your love, let your light shine bright bright bright, bright...
