Lyrics Fozzey & VanC – Raw Diamond
Text:
We see now but we’re born blinded
It’s an awfully big world to be small minded
We all chasin’ that raw diamond but if you don’t look close you might walk by it
Your ideas have a mind of their own, a life that they own, look at the size that they’ve grown to
An idea put light in ya home, put words on the paper, gave rise to a thrown
This world started out as pics in our imagination
And all we had to do was go and activate them
We have the wits to be great the tools to adapt the instinct to create
Yo our mind is the engine, takes on the view that our eyes apprehend and designs comprehension
Could change lanes and divide our attention, take a group of stories and rewrite all the endings
We always talk about cause and effect, but whenever I hear that I always pause and reflect
Cause after cause is a gap and that’s where our mind sits trying to affect how we were taught to react
So I guess what I’m tryna say, you can’t live life with our mind in the way
We got a gift if we learn to control it, we can spend life fully amerced in the moment
We see now but we’re born blinded, it’s an awfully big world to be small minded
We all chasin’ that raw diamond and Ima stay right here till we all find it
And we’re always out there searching like there’s something more
but if you open up your eyes the world is wonderful
and we’re always out there searching like there’s something more
just open up your eyes the world is beautiful
Yeah,
Check my path, the direction I chose
One of life’s biggest lessons is progression and growth
Your beliefs and ideas are what make it work and then we put that shit out into the universe
In the beginning it ain’t nothing but a dream till I awoke the next morning now it’s something I can see.
Then me and Jay sat down and we got to talkin’ and somewhere in the process it became important
It’s funny though it all started with an idea,
but now it’s here I can feel that my minds clear this ain’t music I’m tellin’ you it’s more than that,
these are more than just words man this is more than rap
This is me, this is the only thing I know best, it’s as if my dreams are still being processed,
This world started out as pics in our imagination
And all we had to do was go and activate them
We have the wits to be great the tools to adapt the instinct to create
Yo our mind is the engine, takes on the view that our eyes apprehend and designs comprehension
Could change lanes and divide our attention, take a group of stories and rewrite all the endings
We always talk about cause and effect, but whenever I hear that I always pause and reflect
Cause after cause is a gap and that’s where our mind sits trying to affect how we were taught to react
So I guess what I’m tryna say, you can’t live life with our mind in the way
We got a gift if we learn to control it, we can spend life fully amerced in the moment

We all chasin’ that raw diamond and Ima stay right here till we all find it
And we’re always out there searching like there’s something more

these are more than just words man this is more than rap
This is me, this is the only thing I know best, it’s as if my dreams are still being processed,
I used to fall in line and go with the tide until one morning I woke up and really opened up my eyes, listen
Everything in life I thought that I was searching for,
I realized without wisdom the earth is poor I was just like you man I needed savin’
Tried to up the brightness while the dream was fading, always down about shit man I need a facelift,
can’t help but sell myself short and be complacent, growin’ up I just guess I was misled
Always too afraid to go ahead and take a big step
I see now but was born blinded, it’s an awfully big world to be small minded
We all chasin’ that raw diamond and Ima stay right here till we all find it
And we’re always out there searching like there’s something more
but if you open up your eyes the world is wonderful
and we’re always out there searching and we’re always out there searchin’
and we’re always out there searchin’ for more, for more, for more.

And we’re always out there searching like there’s something more
but if you open up your eyes the world is wonderful
and we’re always out there searching and we’re always out there searchin’
and we’re always out there searchin’ for more, for more, for more.
