Lyrics Clariyah – Diamonds
Text:
Diamonds, pearls, gimme that Gucci
There’s more important things why we trippin’ 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 never read the books, we just knock em’ off the shelves
Judging by they covers, don’t believe in nothing else
‘Cause a person ain’t shit if they ain’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 your only true escape now
Them scars on your arms ain’t worth the pain now
And them screams that were silent have regained their 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 ’cause the skin we born with?
Stereotype a person ’cause they white or a brother
I’m confused
We fucked up like the drugs we use
We go killing motherfuckers 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 it’s like a maze with no direction
I’m passing every corner and I’m feeling disconnected
It’s 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 gonna 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 gonna make it to the finish line together not apart
Together not apart
