I wrote this rap this morning. Don’t ask me who it’s about. You can guess from the many clues, but I won’t tell you otherwise I could get in trouble.
But I see your true colors
shining through
I see your true colors
and that’s why I love you (not!)
so don’t be afraid to let them show
your true colors
true colors are beautiful
like a rainbow (not!)
Yo yo yo
True colours uhh, your true colours aha
True colours uhh, your true colours,
check it out
I read something on the rags today
It said that freedom fries were on sale today
So I rushed to the kitchen and grabbed my bread
And I made a kaya sandwich with a kopi-O
True colours uhh, your true colours aha
True colours uhh, your true colours,
so SHINING! check it out
Then I went on the roads to go to the mall
Trying to grab freedom fries before they sold them all
Two police roadblocks doing nothing at all
Then I ate my kaya sandwich, going through the crawl
Come and see a hippo ballet dancing…
(I love my safety belt yo yo)
Come and see a hippo ballet dancing…
(I love my freedom fries too uhuh uhuh)
Come and see a hippo ballet dancing…
(I love my safety belt)
Come and see a hippo ballet dancing…
(Can’t have your cake and eat it too!)
When I reached the mall they gave me the bad news
Too many people so they had to close
Told me that their safety was most important of all
Didn’t care that freedom fries got soggy and thrown in the trash
True colours uhh, your true colours aha
True colours uhh, your true colours,
so SHINING!
Take me home Cyndi…
But I see your true colors
shining through
I see your true colors
and that’s why I love you (not!)
so don’t be afraid to let them show
your true colors
true colors are beautiful
like a rainbow (not!)

Haiz… I know how u feel, I had the same situations from time to time, but I think it’s good thing that at least we get to know the actual characteristic of those ppl. Well, just be yourself!!!
Adino: Yeah, hopefully more people will see true colours too !
December 12, 2007 at 14:28
Huh? I’m giddy with confusion…
Adino: Giddy? Don’t worry, join the hippo ballet dancing!
It does seem like I was high on drugs as I wrote that doesn’t it?

I like the way you Yo Yo Yo, but sad to c the true color, moving backward …
Adino: Backwards indeed. Does it remind you about the 1987 song about “Long Grass”?
December 13, 2007 at 00:28
hey, I’m the composer!
Missing the ‘e’ though in Kelley. hunh, I think you spelled it wrong! lol
Adino: Oh wow! I hope you don’t mind me using the chorus of your song, not to mention me destroying it with my attempt at political sarcasm.
I have never spoken to the composer of a hit song before… it’s an honour!
I’ve also corrected the spelling for your name.

I didn’t know you could write rap songs! I read the whole thing, but I couldn’t understand much, because I don’t really know much about rap music.
Adino: Actually it’s not your fault. It’s mine because I didn’t tell you what it was about, and it was badly written anyway. I was hoping that more of my readers would ‘get it’. Never mind
Just consider it one of those posts that just doesn’t work 
December 14, 2007 at 01:12
Adino, silly!
I was just pointing out that me and the composer had the same name! Sorry to crush your pride… guess that American sarcasm doesn’t come through on the internet
)
Adino: How would I know that?
Hehe… this is embarassing *shy*
