[Verse 1: Adrian Stresow]
Aye, dropped out school like, "Screw it," I just need a check, yeah
Your shawty on my line, go keep that girl in check, yeah
Taking bets, yeah, they know I'm a threat, yeah
Talk behind my back, they coming for my neck, yeah (Uh)
Thirteen when I started (Uh)
Reaping everything I sow (Uh)
Last year I was broke (Uh)
Now I'm getting what I'm owed (Uh)
In a whole new mode (Uh)
Won't sleep till my fam good
No love from my damn hood
Now we eating like canned goods
Yeah, they all wanna get ahead of me (Whoa)
Wishing it was you instead of me (Whoa)
But they'll never get ahead of me (No)
They don't keep up with my energy (No)
I'm staying busy, out here getting this dough
Lotta people tryna hate on the low
They just mad they wasn't with me before
Letting loose, getting money, who are you?
What side you on? I never made it hard to choose
From the jump, always had a lot to prove
People switching on me, showing me their true–
[Chorus: Adrian Stresow]
Colors, colors, colors, colors
True colors, colors, colors, colors
True colors, colors, colors, colors
True colors, colors, colors, colors
True
[Verse 2: Adrian Stresow]
I got to get it for real and pay all my bills, I'm tryna move out soon
Labels wanna get a cut, they cut me a check, I did it without you
I've been tryna run the numbers up, I'm a winner, you a runner up
And we finna light the summer up
Ain't nobody keeping up with us, aye
I've been putting everything that I've got in to it, I've been really getting profit
Momma wanting me to stop it
She don't really see the logic
I just tell her, "Stay off it"
I'm in the office, telling everyone I got this
They ain't see it through my optic
But I'm the one with the plan, I gotta take it in my hand and put off it
I said it once, I'll say that shit again
I ain't sleeping 'til the day I wake up in a Benz
Working 10 to 10 to 10 to get the dividends
All my friends were sipping Henn'
And now the tenant's on my [?]
But in the end I'm up now, yeah, I'm up now
Back then, I was really stuck, almost gave it up, wow
Good thing I ain't quit when shit was hard, city showin' love now
Got some haters and they shot, sometimes I gotta duck down
Showing me they true–
[Chorus: Adrian Stresow]
Colors, colors, colors, colors
True colors, colors, colors, colors
True colors, colors, colors, colors
True colors, colors, colors, colors
True
[Verse 3: Drew Famous]
Yeah, 18, started my own business, now I'm winning, feel me?
Feeling like I'm fin' put the industry in obituaries (yeah, yeah)
Got it locked down, every county 'round me to downtown
I'm on top now, they ain't found out shit, got the whole world knocked down
And that's facts, went top 40 'fore my shorty caught herself a statutory
I'm on track, might lap and do the dash, why you think I'm wearing track pants?
Wear the same damn fit every single day, I'm feeling amazing, standing ovation
This shit is mine for the taking, really thought that we was playing, I was just saying
I might be back to myself again, I do the dash for the hell of it
Rarely been feeling like anything less than a flex, so never compare me to them
I feel I carry the kids, I never cared for opinions
I been very on my shit, y'all been embarassing it
I'm barely the shit, (yeah, yeah) but I still gotta be what I said I was
Never checked for your appearance, bruh, never stepped out my clearance, nah
Show me yourself, 'cause it's gotta me more than all that I see
I know there's colors behind the scenes, like I got purple all in my green, yeah
[Chorus: Adrian Stresow]
Colors, colors, colors, colors
True colors, colors, colors, colors
True colors, colors, colors, colors
True colors, colors, colors, colors
True
