True Colors Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Have a threesome with your bestie, I'ma chance it
Don't take a pic when we together, that's some fan shit (Yeah, yeah)
I spent over four-five racks on these glasses (On these glasses)
I want that purple with my color just like Kansas (Yeah)
Make sure I'm super fly because the cameras (Yeah)
Put a mm-mm-mm-mm inside a Tropicana
Sway don't, but the whole hood got the answers (Yeah, yeah)
Black power in my blood, my cousin Lee a panther (Let's get it)
Do a buck fifty ridin' down Lake Shore (Skrrt)
God took away my niggas, they don't make more (Yeah, yeah)
You take one of mine, we gon' take four (doo-doo-doo)
Bitches screamin' fake love like a Drake tour (Turn up)
We gon' pull up in that truck and it's paid for (Turn up)
How you flexin' with your homie? Shit, it ain't yours (Let's get it)
Cleanin' pots inside the trap but I hate chores (Gang)
BJ took mine, he catch a case, I take yours (My brother)
Hittin' that dope, I gotta take dome (Dome)
I'm from the trenches, make me hate storms (Chiraq)
How the fuck you on top and you don't make noise? (Gang, gang)
I brought a Hellcat from the trenches and I made it roar (Skrrt)
We violent, shawty, don't be too silent (Yeah, yeah)
She don't like public, all her pages be private (Yeah, yeah)
Before I pay a nigga bills, I buy fashion (Nah)
I fuck her off a Perky pill, got me lastin' (Yeah, yeah)
[Chorus]
Ain't no way that hate can overpower love (Oh)
Ain't no money in the world that could buy you trust (Oh)
Used to look up to them niggas, they in the back of us (Mm, mm)
Used to be my brother, show me they color
True colors, yeah, your true colors (No, no, no, no)
True colors, yeah, your true colors (No, no, no, no)
Niggas sneak dissin' while you show your true colors (No, no, no, no)
Even with these shades, I can see your true colors

[Verse 2]
I can't put no niggas over mine, I'ma over grind (Mm, mm)
Over time, for more chains I'll over shine (Let's get it)
I'm screamin' free 'em, even if appeals denied (Yeah, yeah)
Gave 'em guns just to get some lower time (Oh)
Like drinkin' lean, shit way too cold with ice (Drank)
Kidnap your son, got me like I'm Uncle Ice
Your ass ain't right, keep my strap like a dyke (Grrah)
They shot my brother, we was in it all night
They don't listen you ain't no politician (Gang)
And I was broke, ain't had no pot to piss in (Yeah, yeah)
Don't fuck with too many niggas, had to keep my distance (They bitches)
When I do come around, I swear I feel the tension (Can get it)
I love my cousin Iris, man, I swear I miss her (Oh)
Her daughter look just like her, I see her and kiss her (Oh)
My daddy never seen my kids, only through some pictures (Through some picture)
At the time I was fightin' cases, so I couldn't visit (Yeah, yeah)
[Chorus]
Ain't no way that hate can overpower love (Oh)
Ain't no money in the world that could buy you trust (Oh)
Used to look up to them niggas, they in the back of us (Mm, mm)
Used to be my brother, show me they color
True colors, yeah, your true colors (No, no, no, no)
True colors, yeah, your true colors (No, no, no, no)
Niggas sneak dissin' while you show your true colors (No, no, no, no)
Even with these shades, I can see your true colors (No, no, no, no)

[Outro]
No, no, no, no
No, no, no, no
No, no, no, no
