True Colors (feat. Nicki Minaj)

Wiz Khalifa and Nicki Minaj's collaboration on 'True Colors' is a bold declaration of their success and the envy it generates. The song opens with Wiz Khalifa acknowledging the people who have supported him and those who haven't. He emphasizes his self-reliance and resilience, stating that he has done well on his own. The recurring theme of 'true colors' refers to the jealousy and hidden feelings of those who resent his success, symbolized by the 'green' they hide inside. This green not only represents envy but also the money that Wiz Khalifa has earned through his hard work.

Nicki Minaj's verse continues this theme of triumph over adversity. She celebrates her achievements and the innovative steps she has taken in her career. Nicki's reference to 'pink' as her branded color and the anticipation of unveiling the 'Pinkprint' cover highlights her unique identity and influence in the music industry. Her lyrics also touch on loyalty and the strong support system she has built, contrasting with those who doubted her. The imagery of pulling up in luxurious cars ('white on white') serves as a metaphor for their success and the discomfort it causes to their detractors.

The chorus reinforces the idea that their true colors are revealed through their success and the reactions it provokes. The 'white on white' symbolizes purity and success, while the 'green inside my pocket' signifies wealth. The repetition of 'that's my true colors' underscores their authenticity and pride in their achievements. The song is a powerful statement about self-confidence, resilience, and the inevitable envy that comes with success. It also serves as a reminder to stay true to oneself and not be swayed by the negativity of others.
