   I see your true (you won't believe the things i've seen) colours, shining through
  (straight up) i see your true colours, (yeah) thats why i love you
  (now from the ghetto) i see your true colours, (straight up) shining through [shining through]
  i see your true colours, (i'm not gonna make it up man) thats why i love you
  
  (Yo) its 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, set go
  sneak this thing from a telephone pole
  in my ghetto there 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 colours, shining through (straight up man)
  i see your true (i can see through you man) colours, thats why i love you
  (i know you really aint like that) i see your true colours, shining through [shining through]
  i see your true colours, thats why i love you
  
  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
  we stand and fight, we'll walk by faith but not by sight
  we're all the same colour when you turn out the lights
  i take the sunshine with the pain
  grab my serin car said thats when it rains
  you know friends 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 worries now of her son and the hopes and dreams
  to raise my son to be a soldier by any means
  
  I see your true colours, shining through
  i see your true colours, thats why i love you
  i see your true colours, shining through
  i see your true colours, thats why i 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...
