Sometimes, it's just all about perspective.
People see what they want to see.
They believe what they are taught to believe,
Change things to the way they want it to be.

People often do not change, oh no they don't.
What you see does not really matter.
The beautiful facade, the smiles and the nods,
When this wall crumbles, you'll know them better.

People can lie, they can fake and pretend.
What you see is not always what you will get.
Some are full of ****, yet empty in the end,
Only a few are true, those are the ones you shouldn't forget.

Like most people, I am a diamond, too.
I am beautiful. Shining and shimmering in the light,
Yet, I can and I will cut you if you ain't that tough.
I am multifaceted, you don't really know me, or you might.

I can change things to the way I want it to be,
Lead you to believe, what I want you to believe.
I can make you see what I want you to see,
Sometimes, it's just all about my perspective.
