(*chourus) I see your true colors shining through, (you wont belive the things I see
I see your true colors
(straight up)
and thats why I love you
(reapeat)
baby
i wanna make it out
Yo father forgive we all tring to survive wher we live
Id rather feed the homeless 8 times than talk to tha kids
Show thme life aint a walk on tha bridge
as hard as it is when i be dreamin Id be talkin to big
in my hood ther aint no yellow brick road
you hear tha shots echo
sneakers hangin from a telephone poll
in my ghetto ther aint no rainbows or pots of gold
but ther was love from tha family when times are cold
i stand and analize tha world from my project roof
ive seen tha hope in tha eyes of a troubled youth
a good kid he hept by burner in this bubble goose
a motherless child lost in these streets loose
and with the waterworlds away thes are rainy daez
my man got poped out an early age
his college fun save flicked him to an early grave
i say the good die young wer headin for the pearly gates
(*chourus)
They say this love wasnt meant to be
2 people from 2 different worlds we wasnt ment to be
it must have been fate you wer sent to me
well make it through these hard times eventually
well stand and fight
walk by faith and not by sight
we all the same color when you turn out the lights
ill take the sunshine with tha paine
i wear my sarenguardes sad thats when it rains
no fridge hept the food on the window pane
we all breath the same air so we all tha same
im trapped in this ghetto maze tryin to make it out
if you dont know me what you talkin bout
im from the divided boulevard of the broken dreams
songle mothers yall my heros yall my queens
to get my mos out the hood
thats my hope and dreams
to raise my son to be a soldier by any means
(*chorous)
