Diamonds - Clariyah

Diamonds, pearls gimme that Gucci
There's more important things why we trippin bout some loui
When I hear the kids screaming with no food to go to school with
When I hear them bells ringing I just think that were so clueless
We degrade each other, we degrade ourselves
We never read the books we just knock em off the shelves
Judging by their 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 strayin from the purpose
We disrespect each other and the people that have birthed us
We hatin on our love ones
And loving who have hurt us
We forget about what mean 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
Some times 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 through 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 this racism truly makes me sick
We hatin on each other cause the skin we born with
We take from each other, stab and rape one another
Stereotype a person cause they white or a brother
I'm confused
We fucked up like the drugs we use
We go killin 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 an exit
I'm running through 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 gone make it to the finish line together not apart, together not apart
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 uh
