Before Diamonds
Lyrics
Yuh yuh
Carter what it do nigga
They tell me i'm a star even though I don't feel like it
I was shining before diamonds even though i'm real icy
Tryna keep it real with snake niggaz
Even though I know they'll still bite me
Even though I know they'll still bite me
They tell me i'm a star even though I don't feel like it
I was shining before diamonds even though i'm real icy
Tryna keep it real with snake niggaz
Even though I know they'll still bite me
When they say that they love you they don't mean it
My hoodie and my gloves the streets cold and I'm anemic
How the fuck I'm supposed to love when my heart is steady grieving
Got these diamonds around my neck you know it's colder every season
Believe me
You know my money older than the deacon
I pay my ten percent a month don't stay for all the preaching
Money's the root of all evil well preacher why you need it
Twelve disciples wasn't nothing but a table full of leaches
Oh Jesus
I ask my niggaz man am I a star or what
Don't feel like I'm god or nun
Forty seven cars pull up
Everybody catered up
Should have booked a charter bus
Ain't nobody hard as us
Invested in myself it took me far as fuck
They tell me i'm a star even though I don't feel like it
I was shining before diamonds even though i'm real icy
Tryna keep it real with snake niggaz
Even though I know they'll still bite me
Even though I know they'll still bite me
They tell me i'm a star even though I don't feel like it
I was shining before diamonds even though i'm real icy
Tryna keep it real with snake niggaz
Even though I know they'll still bite me
I then shared clothes with niggaz who stole from me
Same niggaz that stole from me thought they was bros to me
I'll die behind my respect that's really owed to me
That shit still fuck with my head even though it's old to me
A nigga do something for you once feel like you owe him this and owe him that
All the shit I do for niggaz just drop some shit and they supposed to react
These niggaz will never admit it but they know he that
Tryna keep it real with the wrong niggaz that shit hold me back
Say Carter they say blood thicker than water
Well if that's true then why it feel like a stranger nigga go harder for ya
My daddy wasn't there it feel like the streets was more of a father for me
They say i'm the greatest but the pain was really a starter for me
They tell me i'm a star even though I don't feel like it
I was shining before diamonds even though i'm real icy
Tryna keep it real with snake niggaz
Even though I know they'll still bite me
Even though I know they'll still bite me
They tell me i'm a star even though I don't feel like it
I was shining before diamonds even though i'm real icy
Tryna keep it real with snake niggaz
Even though I know they'll still bite me
Yuh yuh
Carter what it do nigga
They tell me i'm a star even though I don't feel like it
I was shining before diamonds even though i'm real icy
Tryna keep it real with snake niggaz
Even though I know they'll still bite me
Even though I know they'll still bite me
They tell me i'm a star even though I don't feel like it
I was shining before diamonds even though i'm real icy
Tryna keep it real with snake niggaz
Even though I know they'll still bite me
When they say that they love you they don't mean it
My hoodie and my gloves the streets cold and I'm anemic
How the fuck I'm supposed to love when my heart is steady grieving
Got these diamonds around my neck you know it's colder every season
Believe me

I was shining before diamonds even though i'm real icy
Tryna keep it real with snake niggaz
Even though I know they'll still bite me
