Theme from 'Save the Last Dance'

[Chorus] I see your true color, shinin through I see your true color, an' that's why I love you I see your true color, shinin through I see your true color, an' that's why I love you [VERSE 1] Yo, father forgive, we all tryin to survive where we live I'd rather feed the homeless, take time and talk to the kids Show 'em life ain't no walk in the breeze 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 tymes 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 immortal words of Ray: these are rainy days My man got poped at an early age His college fund saved, flipped into his early grave They say the good die young, we're headed for dem early gates CHORUS [VERSE 2] 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 tymes, eventually Let's stand and fight, walk by faith and not by sight We're all the same color when you turn off the lights I take the sunshine with the pain Grandma said, when God's sad, that's when it rains No fridge, kept the food on the window payne We all breathe the same air so we all the same I'm trapped in this ghetto maze tryna make it out If you dont know me dont judge me, wuthcu talkin bout I'm fathered by the boulevard of the broken dream Single mothas yall my heroes, yall my queens To get my moms out the hood, thats my hope and dreams To raise my son to be a soldier by any means CHORUS TO FADE
