Shining Through (Theme From “Save the Last Dance”) Fredro Starr (Ft. Jill Scott)

[Chorus: Jill Scott]
I see your true colors, shining through
I see your true colors, that's why I love you
I see your true colors, shining through
I see your true colors, 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 times and talk to the 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 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 there was love from the family when times are cold
I seen and analysed the world from my project roof
And seen the hope in the eyes of a troubled youth
A good kid, I kept my burna in dis bubble goose
A motherless child lost in these streets loose
In the immortal words of Rae these are rainy days
My man got popped at an early age
His college fund saved up into his early grave
They say the good die young were headed for them pearly gates

[Chorus: Jill Scott]
I see your true colors, shining through
I see your true colors, that's why I love you
I see your true colors, shining through
I see your true colors, that's why I love you
