yo, father forgive,we all tryin to survive where we live
i'd rather feed the homeless take times talk to their 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 BIG
in my head it ain't no yellow brick road,we hear the shots echo
sneakers hangin from a telephone pole
in my ghetto aint no rainbow wit pots a gold
but that was love from the family when times are cold
i seen an analyzed the world from my project roof
and seen the hope in the eyes of a troubled youth
a good kip,i kept this burnin' 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 an' say he flipped into his early grave
they say the good die young,were headed for them pearly gates

[Jill Scott]

I see your true color, shining through
I see your true color, and thats why I love you
I see your true color, shinning through
I see your true color, and thats why I love you

[Fredro Starr]

yo,they say this love wasn't meant to be
2 people from 2 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
the standard fight,walk by faith an' not by sight
we're all the same color when you turn off the lights
i take the sunshine with the pain
wear my Saraguards sad,dats when it rains
no fridge,kept the food on tha window pane
we all breathe the same air so we all the same
i'm trapped in this ghetto maze tryin' to make it out
if you don't know me don't judge me,what cha' talkin' 'bout
i'm far dividable of ard of the broken dreams
single motha's yall my heroes,yall my queens
to get my moms out the hood,that's my hope an' dreams
to raise my son to be a soldier by any means

[Jill Scott]

I see your true color, shining through
I see your true color, and thats why I love you
I see your true color, shining through
I see your true color, and thats why I love you

I see your true color, shining through
I see your true color, and thats why I love you
I see your true color, shining through
I see your true color, and thats why I love you

i see, i see your true colors
