True
JJ and The Ukulele Orchestra Of Great Britain Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Ahem
Yeah
It's Fiction, baby
True colors
Yeah
Yeah
Yeah
My soul feeling cold on a whole new low
I'm not super I'm just saying this my Goku flow
Had a homie that I trusted and they did me dirt
I did everything for them, then they flipped like work
What's the worth, of a friend, that you swore to 'til the end
But then once they're finally on their feet their love for you descends
To tell the truth that's a wound that I refuse to ever mend
Homie you said way too much, don't go trying to pretend
Like you didn't, like you wasn't dissing Fiction
Like those threats against my life I'll just forget 'em, dog you trippin' (chee)
Grimey mother mother undercover acting like my brother
Told me that you love me Like blood, man I'm such a sucker, unh unh
Sucker punched, by a f***ing punk, piece of human junk
B***h I'm done, my bank for forgiveness just ran out of funds
This was fun, while it lasted but you know I gotta run
Just remember when you fall and need some help I'm not the one

True colors, you showed me your true colors
And truthfully, I cannot f*** witcha hue, brother
Who brother? Me? no no no, na na
You went and crossed that line you went just too far
So bye homie (bye), peace bruh bruh (peace)
Really hope you can find some peace, brother
I dont hate ya (nope), I still love ya (yup)
But i can't trust ya (nah), so I'm gone, sucker (bye)
I'm gone

You had a son, you named me god father
And I was truly honored, but you was full of drama
Crazy baby mama, 2 am you'd call up
And I would listen I would scoop you even get you ganja
'Cause you was going through it, I was trying to improve it
Positive vibes, I tried to provide, making music
Yea, we kicked them rhymes, and ooh, you had a flow
I was trying to get you to lay it in the studio, but
It never happened I guess it wasn't the wave
And it all makes sense now, looking on it today
The anxieties I was feeling, every time we was chilling
That was my intuition, but damn it I didn't listen
My empathy tempted me, I had a vision of you risen
From your plights, you had rid 'em, but that just made me a victim
This is sickening
And I promised I tried really hard
To help you out but then you showed me who you really are (unh)

True colors, you showed me your true colors
And truthfully, I cannot f*** witcha hue, brother
Who brother? Me? no no no, na na
You went and crossed that line you went just too far
So bye homie (bye), peace bruh bruh (peace)
Really hope you can find some peace, brother
I dont hate ya (nope), I still love ya (yup)
But I can't trust ya (nah), so I'm gone, sucker
I'm gone

Yeah
I'm gone (bye)
I'm gone (bye)
I'm gone
Yeah
For real
I'm gone (bye)




I'm gone (bye)
I'm gone (bye)

Line by Line Meaning

My soul feeling cold on a whole new low
Feeling emotionally empty and lost


I'm not super I'm just saying this my Goku flow
Not pretending to be more than just myself


Had a homie that I trusted and they did me dirt
My friend betrayed my trust


I did everything for them, then they flipped like work
I was loyal and supportive, but they treated me poorly in return


What's the worth, of a friend, that you swore to 'til the end
Reflecting on the value of a friendship


But then once they're finally on their feet their love for you descends
When someone no longer needs you, they may change their behavior towards you


To tell the truth that's a wound that I refuse to ever mend
The pain of betrayal is too great to forgive


Homie you said way too much, don't go trying to pretend
Your words revealed your true feelings and intentions, so don't try to deny them


Like you didn't, like you wasn't dissing Fiction
You were insulting and belittling me, acting like I'm not good enough


Like those threats against my life I'll just forget 'em, dog you trippin'
You threatened me, but I won't let it affect me


Grimey mother mother undercover acting like my brother
You were deceitful and dishonest, pretending to care for me like family


Told me that you love me Like blood, man I'm such a sucker, unh unh
I believed your lies about loving me, but now I see how foolish that was


Sucker punched by a f***ing punk, piece of human junk
You hurt me deeply, and I see you as a worthless and despicable person


B***h I'm done, my bank for forgiveness just ran out of funds
I can no longer forgive you, as I've reached my limit of tolerance


This was fun, while it lasted but you know I gotta run
Our friendship was enjoyable at times, but it's time for me to move on


Just remember when you fall and need some help I'm not the one
Even though we're no longer friends, I won't be there for you in the future


True colors, you showed me your true colors
Your actions revealed your true nature


And truthfully, I cannot f*** witcha hue, brother
I can't accept or tolerate who you really are


You went and crossed that line you went just too far
You did something unforgivable


So bye homie (bye), peace bruh bruh (peace)
Farewell, I hope you find peace


Really hope you can find some peace, brother
I genuinely wish you well


I dont hate ya (nope), I still love ya (yup)
Despite everything, I still care for you in some way


But i can't trust ya (nah), so I'm gone, sucker (bye)
I've lost all trust in you and it's time for me to leave


I had a vision of you risen, from your plights, you had rid 'em
I had hoped you would overcome your struggles and improve your life


But that just made me a victim, this is sickening
Instead, I was hurt by you and it's a terrible feeling


And I promised I tried really hard, to help you out but then you showed me who you really are
I did my best to support you, but your actions proved your true character


Yeah, I'm gone
I'm leaving, and it's final


For real
I mean it


I'm gone (bye)
Again, I'm leaving


I'm gone
I'm really gone
