Shining Through - Fredro Starr & Jill Scott
Chorus {Jill Scott} I see your true color, shining through I see your true color, an' that's why I love you I see your true color, shining through I see your true color, an' that's why I love you Verse 1 {Fredro Starr} Yo, father forgive, we all tryin to survive where we live I'd rather feed the homeless take time and talk to da the kids Show 'em live ain't no walk on the bridge Damn as hard as it is, when I be dreamin I be talkin ta B.I.G In my hood it ain't no yellow brick road, you hear the shots echo Sneakers hangin from a telephone pole In my ghetto ain't no rainbow wit pots of gold But there was love from the faimly when times are cold I seen n analyzed tha world from my project roof An' seen the hope in tha eyes of a troubled youth A good kip, I kept this burna is dis motha goose A motherless child lost in tha streets loose In tha water worlds away these a rainy days My man got popped at an early age His college friends say he flipped into his early grave They say the good die young when headed for them pearly gates Chorus Verse 2 {Fredro Starr} They say this love wasn't meant to be 2 people form 2 different world, 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 standed fight, walk by faith but not by sight We're all the same color when you turn off tha lights I take tha sunshine with tha pain Wear my Saraguards sad, dats when it rains No fridge, kept tha food on the window payne We all breathe tha same air so we all tha same I'm trapped in this ghetto maze tryna make it out If you don't know me don't judge me, wutchu talkin bout I'm far dividable of ard of tha broken dreams Single mothas y'all my heros, y'all my queens To get my moms out tha hood, thats hope n dreams To raise my son to be a soldier by any means Chorus to fade
