Diamonds

Diamonds, pearls, gimme that gucci

Theres more important things why we trip pin bout some loui

Then i hear the kids screaming with no food to go to school with

When i hear them bells ringing i just think we so clueless

We degrade each other, we degrade ourselves

We never read the books, we just knock em´ off the shelves

Judging by they covers, don't believe in nothing else

Coz a person ain´t **** if they win´t high up on that wealth

Right, wrong

We straying from the purpose, we disrespect each other

And the people that have birthed us

We hatin on our loved ones

And loving who have hurt us

We forget about what means the most

And dwell on what we purchase

Forget all of that it´s not worth it

And stop thinking you gotta be perfect

We all different, we all shine like diamonds

Sometimes you gotta dig deep just so you can find them

Listen to my voice, put the blade down

I know you think that´s you only true escape now

Them scars on your arms ain´t worth the pain now

And them screams that were silent have regained they main sound

If they don´t love you for who you are that´s their issue

When you lying dead on the floor could they fix you?

When you on the news you really think that they´d miss you?

They pretend like they care, turn around and forget you

And all the racism truly makes me sick

We hating on each other cuz the skin we born with?

We take from each other, stab and **** one another

Stereotype a person cuz they white or a brother

I'm confused

We ****** up like the drugs we use

We go killin motherfuckes just for upgraded shoes

I´m a tad disappointed in this new generation

I done grew up in the jungle i´m just tryna find my way in

Really, i´m just tryna find a exit

I'm running to the end but its like a maze with no direction

Im passing every corner nd I'm feeling disconnected

Its like hate is a disease and I'm the only one not infected

So god, let em´ not disregard, that the beauty outside reflects from one good heart, and it don´t matter where you came from, it don't matter where you start

We gone make it to the finish line together not apart

Together not apart

It don't matter where you came from, it don't matter where you start we gone make it to the finish together not apart

Together not apart
