Shining True Lyrics

Shining True lyrics

I see your true (yo im from the ghetto)

colors, shining through

(straight up) I see your true colors,

(yeah) thats why I love you

(now from the ghetto) I see your true colors,

(straight up) shining through [shining through]

I see your true colors, (I'm not gonna make it up man)

thats why I love you



(yo) it's hard to forget, we all trynna survive and we live

I'd rather feed the homeless and take time to talk to their kids

show them life aint a walk on the bridge, damn as hard as it is

when I be dreaming I be talking the big

in my hood there aint no yellow brick road,

you hear that shot, 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 are cold

I stayed and analysed the world from a project youth

I seen the hope in the eyes of a troubled youth

a good kipper kept it burning in this bubble goose

a motherless child lost in these streets loose

in the world of more these are rainy days

my man got popped at an early age

his college funds saved flipping through his early grave

they said the good the young were headed for them pearly gates



I see your true colors, shining through (straight up )

I see your true (I can see through you man) colors,

that's why I love you

(I know you really aint like that) I see your true colors,

shining through [shining through]

I see your true colors, 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 meant to be

it musta been fate you were sent to me

we'll make it through these hard times eventually

let's stand and fight, we'll walk by faith but not by sight

we're all the same color when you turn out the lights

I take the sunshine with the pain

grab my serin car said 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 trynna make it out

if you don't know me don't judge me - what you talkin 'bout

I bought the bottom bull the car of the broken dreams

single mother's you're my heroes you're my queens, to get

my mums out the hood that's my hope 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, that's why I love you

I see your true colors, shining through

I see your true colors, that's why Ii love you



(repeat)



let your love, let your life, I see your true colour

let your life, let your love, let your light shine bright

I see your true colour

let your life, let your love, let your light shine bright

bright bright, bright...
