Arkells - One Thing I Know Lyrics

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

One thing that I know
You gotta let your colors 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 re-designing
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 colors 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 re-designing
What I got deep down inside
Got free just by surrendering
To the one thing I know

(One thing that I know)
(One thing that I know)
(To the 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 re-designing)
(What I got deep down inside)
(Got free just by surrendering)
(To the one thing I know)

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 re-designing
What I got deep down inside
Got free just by surrendering
To the one thing I know

(One thing that I know)
To the one thing I know
(One thing that I know)
(In my soul)
(One thing that I know)
To the one thing I know
(One thing)
To the one thing I know
To the one thing I know
To the one thing I know
