Diamond in the Ghetto
Lyrics
I lost my nigga to these streets now they don't feel the same
Sometimes I cry myself to sleep but still I feel the pain
But I was taught without that pain then you won't get no gain
I came up strait up out them trenches and ion feel no shame
They made a diamond in the ghetto
They made a diamond in the ghetto (They made a diamond in my ghetto)
I can go diamond in the ghetto ooh
I can go diamond in the ghetto (I can go diamond in the ghetto)
They made a diamond in the ghetto
They made a diamond in the ghetto (They made a diamond in my ghetto)
I can go diamond in the ghetto ooh
I can go diamond in the ghetto (I can go diamond in the ghetto)
I'm from the bottom of the bottom out them trenches
These niggas talkin like they bout it never did shit
If we in beef then keep it street and do not mention it
You come and thug around my people see the differences
Really with the shit these niggas just playing
Gangsta you sent a diss and put yo mans in danger
I'll send a hit and have them young niggas spin yo shit until you dead Gangsta
Fuck a 30 clip we aint leg aiming
Buried guns we got dead bangers
I know some niggas who turnt before we hit our destination
Them same niggas wishing hoping that we never make it
I know my granny praying daily god don't let ''em take me
That's why I tote a stick and I'll blow this bitch without no hesitation
Caught up in this web of deceit from all these lies I received
Losin my people fucked me up cus I never learned how to grieve
I lost my dawg I couldn't believe it lost my heart and couldn't retrieve it
Project baby now I'm shinin like a Diamond when they see me
I lost my nigga to the streets now they don't feel the same
Sometimes I cry myself to sleep but I still feel the pain
But I was taught without the pain then you won't get no gain
I came up strait up out them trenches and ion feel no shame
They made a diamond in the ghetto
They made a diamond in the ghetto (They made a diamond in my ghetto)
I can go diamond in the ghetto ooh
I can go diamond in the ghetto (I can go diamond in the ghetto)
They made a diamond in the ghetto
They made a diamond in the ghetto (They made a diamond in my ghetto)
I can go diamond in the ghetto ooh
I can go diamond in the ghetto (I can go diamond in the ghetto)
Listen to what I tell y'all
I tuck my gun but I'll never tuck my tail hell naw
And all my people know I'll never sell out
Never speak about them times we had to send some shells off
Shots fired man down shots fired man down
Look me in my eyes and you can see the truth
Do you know how it feel to have them demons believe in you
That nigga love me so if you touch me know what he'll do
Trust me this shit will get more ugly then beetle juice
Run a nigga down and really got the heart to see it through
I could but I aint gotta send a hitta this from me to you
And ion trust shit cus niggas switch that's just what people do
I done seen this shit with my 2 eyes what these streets will do
To you
You can't go head up with this shit cus you gone lose fasho
You better play yo cards right this aint no yugiyo
That's why I clutch my rod tight when I'm at the studio
Cus I lost some soldier's I can't lose no mo
I lost my nigga to the streets now they don't feel the same
Sometimes I cry myself to sleep but I still feel the pain
But I was taught without the pain then you won't get no gain
I came up strait up out them trenches and ion feel no shame
They made a diamond in the ghetto ooh
I lost my nigga to these streets now they don't feel the same
Sometimes I cry myself to sleep but still I feel the pain
But I was taught without that pain then you won't get no gain
I came up strait up out them trenches and ion feel no shame
They made a diamond in the ghetto
They made a diamond in the ghetto (They made a diamond in my ghetto)
I can go diamond in the ghetto ooh
I can go diamond in the ghetto (I can go diamond in the ghetto)
They made a diamond in the ghetto
They made a diamond in the ghetto (They made a diamond in my ghetto)
I can go diamond in the ghetto ooh
I can go diamond in the ghetto (I can go diamond in the ghetto)
I'm from the bottom of the bottom out them trenches
These niggas talkin like they bout it never did shit
If we in beef then keep it street and do not mention it
You come and thug around my people see the differences
