Jill Scott True Colors Lyrics

True Colors Lyrics

I see you're true colors shinning through I see your true colors and that why I
love you 

I see your (one for the ghetto) true colors shinning through
(straight up) I see your true (I am make it out) colors and that's why I love
you 



Yo father forgive we all trying to survive were we live 

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

Show them
that life ain't no walk on the bridge 

Damn as hard 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 poll 

In
my ghetto there aint no rainbow or pots o gold 

But there was love from
the family when times were cold 

I sit an analyze the world from my roof
seen the hope in the eyes of the trouble youth 

A good killa kept a
burner in his bubble goose a mother less child lost in these streets lose 

In the murder days these are rainy days my man got poped at an early age 

His college fund saved flipped into his grave they say the good die young
were headed for them pearly gates 



I see you're true colors
shinning through I see your true colors and that why I love you 

I see
your true colors shinning 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 different worlds we wasn't be 

It must have been faith you were sent
to me 

Will make it threw these hard times eventually 

The standard
fight brought by faith not by sight 

We all the same color when u turn
out the lights 

I take the sunshine with the pain 

Grab my Sara
gone sad that when it rains 

No French kept the food on the window
pain

We all breath the same air so we all the same

I am trapped in
this ghetto maze trying to make it out 

If you don't
