Darius Heywood - Still Diamonds (Prod. Retro1) Lyrics

Yeah (yeah yeah yeah yeah)
We still diamonds, uh
Alright, this that motivation right here
(Yeah yeah) check
It's all about motivation baby (yeah yeah yeah)
We still diamond, alright

Aye
Baby you a star
Damn baby you a star
That's what they tell you
When you young and dumb
Shorty built wit a body
Got a brick for a brain
See Giuseppes her hobbie
That's her heal for the pain
Niggas try to flirt
If you got a check
That dress come over her neck
She might just cum over text
Over that come over text
The dope dealer she love em too much
Vision jaded, persuaded
Civics ain't saying enough
Spent a couple times at the clinic
She waiting to flush
All the second guessing she made
Cuz he easy to trust
Butterflies saying she nervous
Early morning she praying to god
Knees to the surface
The barrel right by her side
It's Russian roulette
Got her rushing right to the phone
Tryna settle the debt
Her parents prolly disown
Never one to regret
The choices she gotta make
Now how do you raise a son
When you just a raisin in the sun?
Now tell me

Money come and go
You still a diamond
Alone wit a two year old
You still a diamond
You fell for that foolish gold
You still a diamond
Being broke is a joke
Until you laughed at

Money come and go
You still a diamond
Alone wit a 2 year old
You still a diamond
You fell for that foolish gold
You still a diamond
Being broke is a joke
Until you laughed at

Nigga you a star
Lil' nigga you a star
That's what they tell you
When you young and dumb
Could pass for siblings
Just a mothers' son
Who came too early
Put her shackles round her youngest one
It grows tired
What transpires, he'll get bitter wit time
Keep passing quicker
Than the VIP when you skip through the line
Sick of that WIC
He flamed out
Silence the lip service
As soon as it rang out
Hope the preacher can save him
For lack of a better word
He didn't listen
Don't talk about heaven
Man what the hell is all these conditions
You cop the City Year Timbs
You was the man
And if you didn't you'd stop & stare
And devise a plan, to go and get em
He watched from the window
City come alive
It's private as long as he quiet
Mama work at 5
I need double shifts
Who got double shifts
That money a packaged deal
Just make sure you double it

Money come and go
You still a diamond
Got it for the low
You still a diamond
You coming home to parole
You still a diamond
Being broke is a joke
Until you laughed at

Money come and go
You still a diamond
Got it for the low
You still a diamond
You coming home to parole
You still a diamond
Being broke is a joke
Until you laughed at

Nigga you a fraud
Damn nigga you a fraud
That's what they tell you
When you young and dumb
Never panned out
You show up wit handouts
They ridicule
That MVP on ya resume looking pivotal
Finish school you living a fairy tale
He got em' a glock
A eighth of boy
Here's the carousel
Had em' a kid at a 15
City said he the one
A legend at a 16
17 he was done
Them scholarships disappeared
All he know was the hustle
Never had em' a job
His work ethic was subtle
The reputation can bring you respect
Or be a crutch
The same sword they knight you with
They goodnight you
Know that's recycled yes
But I recite that shit to enlighten you
Should of been overseas
He got a strike or two
If you looking for truth
Then here's life for you it's misleading

You still a diamond
They hate cuz you didn't blow
You still a diamond
You stuck in that 10 to 4
You still a diamond
Being broke is a joke
Until you laughed at

Money come and go
You still a diamond
They hate cuz you didn't blow
You still a diamond
You stuck in that 10 to 4
You still a diamond
Being broke is a joke
Until you laughed at

We still diamonds
We always gon' be still diamonds
Still diamonds
Never let up, yeah
