True Colors Video (MV)

If I'm masking it
Then I'm passing it
On like the plague
It's myself
Numbing that pain wit a little bit of wealth
Never had the hope in myself
For the best
And pain and the stress
Wanna kill every shred I need help and reflect I got time to invest
No one there to ever help me conquer
Society failing me got no options
No remedy for the things I can't see
This disease can't be cured by a doctor
Medicating only take me lower
Smoking weed make the days move slower
And for the price of the peace
I need more than a feast
To fuel the drive in the belly of the beast
It's a wicked ass thing
For a young nigga dream
To be killed by the worst of the fiends
And a pretty little scheme
Can be more than a fling
If they wanna settle down with a ring
Married to the money
Dedicated to the hustle
So my kids don't gotta know the struggle
And cherish the connections
That we make that's the message
Cause this love is one like no other
Got the best in my brain
And it's mixed with insane
I look up to god and I pray
Let me see the day
Where I can really say
This was really worth all of the pain
I was only 19
It was hard to f*cking think
That I can f*ck around and be gone
Cause life so wild
And the world so cold
Niggas nowadays don't live to see old
And the sad thing is it's the norm
We gotta get up out of that storm
True intent really shine in the night time
Clarity comes for me from the night sky
I been trying so hard to right wrongs
Wanna live free and in the right mind
Can't really change the past shit
So I gotta move on and get past it
But a nigga true colors always come thru
So be aware of the things they be asking
Don't let them niggas trying to talk shit
Bring you pain and more hardships
Cause it's so easy to get lost
With ya thoughts all down in the darkness
And the biggest trial to get thru
Feeling lost like you don't really know you
And saying that you get the concept
When really you know you have no clue
I done had niggas so close
Turn around and get ghost
Now they barely a spec in my mind
I wish them the best
I hope that they blessed
Rest In Peace to the ones in the sky
People so cruel
In this world and we know
Some people are wolves in disguise
But the things that they say
Can turn our eyes blank
In others we be so blind
To the pain that they bring
Now we often cling to things that really put us off
And we find new ways to cope with the pain
That so damn close to the heart
Get a blade that's so damn sharp
Pierce the flesh bleed and then leave a scar
Or they numb that pain wit a blunt
Blaze it up wit the flame of the spark
Granny told me that it's key to always and forever be me
And I take those words to the soul and tell the world all the lessons that she told
I been at my lowest
Been broke wit no supporters
F*cking chaos life had no order
But I had to change it up
Got money for some lunch
Pen and pad and started writing up
Lyrics to the page just flowed
Felt happy wit the words that I wrote
Thought I could do this for a life time
Hit the booth and knew that I'd shine
Music really opened my damn mind
Saw a new world wit my third eye
I put forth passion to this new thing
Put forth love into these lines
True intent really shine in the night time
Clarity comes for me from the night sky
I been trying so hard to right wrongs
Wanna live free and in the right mind
Can't really change the past shit
So I gotta move on and get past it
But a nigga true colors always come thru
So be aware of the things they be asking
Don't let them nigga trying to talk shit
Bring you pain and more hardships
Cause it's so easy to be lost
With ya thoughts all down in the darkness
And the biggest trial to get thru
Feeling lost like you don't really know you
And saying that you get the concept
When really you know you have no clue
Make stories wit a whole premise
Behind the music and a whole new cadence
The feeling I get feel so good
Got a lot of people asking me what's next
But some will always try to flock
Feed off the music and everything I got
Thinking they'll get close to the man
Until they really get what they want
Money and fame is a drug
And niggas really want they fix
If they can't get it for themselves
They get it from someone instead
They really don't care who they hurt
They don't care who's in the way
This shit like them is a cycle
And they really treat it like it's a game
I'm just saying be aware of they ways
Before you're put up in a cage
Look out for the niggas that'll use you
And say that they real but they so fake
People really are like vultures
Swing around like you are the prey
They be by your side til you broke
Then f*ck around and laugh at your pain
To the niggas i got I promise y'all the realest
Been right wit me from the start
Never changed up or acted different
On the road to the top man
I swear we so gifted
Had to kick a few niggas to the curb
It was for the best nigga I learned
That I had look out for myself
In a way where I can do great in this world
True intent really shine in the night time
Clarity comes for me from the night sky
I been trying so hard to right wrongs
Wanna live free and in the right mind
Can't really change the past shit
So I gotta move on and get past it
But a nigga true colors always come thru
So be aware of the things they be asking
Don't let a nigga trying to talk shit
Bring you pain and more hardships
Cause it's so easy to be lost
With ya thoughts all down in the darkness
And the biggest trial to get thru
Feeling lost like you don't really know you
And saying that you get the concept
When really you know you have no clue
