Shining Through [*]

CHORUS:
I see your true colour
Shinin’ through
I see your true colour
An’ that’s why I love you
I see your true colour
Shinin’ through
I see your true colour
An’ that’s why I love you

Yo, father forgive
We all tryin’ to survive
Where we live
I’d rather feed
The homeless
Take time to
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 ain’t
No rainbow wit’
Pots a gold
But the was love
From the family
When times are cold
I seen and
Analyzed the
World from my project roof
An’ seen the hope
In the 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
And say he flipped
Into his early grave
They say the good
Die young
We’re headed for
Them early gates

Repeat chorus

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
Tha standard fight
Walk by faith
And not by sight
We’re all the same colour
When you turn
Off the lights
I take the sunshine
With the pain
Wear my saraguards sad
That’s 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 tryna
Make it out
If you don’t know me
Don’t judge me
What ‘chu talkin’ bout?
I’m far dividable of
Ard of the broken dreams
Single mothas y’all
My heroes
Ya’ll my queens
To get my moms
Out the hood
That’s my hope n’ dreams
To raise my son to
Be a soldier by any means

Repeat chorus to fade
