Arkells - One Thing I Know

Why did you lose your accent?
It comes out when you're with your old friends
They said you better mask it
You don't want the big city laughing

One thing that I know
You gotta let your colours show

There's no use in denying
I'm done living a lie
So sick and tired of hiding
Secrets living in my soul
There's no use redesigning
What I got deep down inside
Got free just by surrendering
To the one thing I know

So many nights I was acting
Just to keep people from asking
You said "baby let's go cruising"
But we never left the back seat

One thing that I know
You gotta let your colours show

There's no use in denying
I'm done living a lie
So sick and tired of hiding
Secrets living in my soul
There's no use redesigning
What I got deep down inside
Got free just by surrendering
To the one thing I know
One thing I know
To the one thing I know
One thing I know

I'm not gonna mind my manners
I know that I can't go backwards
You say things got out of hand
I said you don't understand us

There's no use in denying
I'm done living a lie
So sick and tired of hiding
Secrets living in my soul
There's no use redesigning
What I got deep down inside
Got free just by surrendering
To the one thing I know
One thing I know
To the one thing I know
One thing I know
