Clariyah – Diamonds lyrics
Diamonds, Pearls, gimme that gucci
There's more important things, why you trippin bout some loui?
When I hear them kids screaming, with no food to go to school with
When I hear them bells ringing, I just think that we so clueless

We degrade each other, we degrade ourselves
We never read the books, we just knock em' off the shelves
Judging by the covers, don't believe in nothing else

Coz a person ain't shit if they aren't high up on that wealth
Right?
Wrong

We straying from the purpose
We disrespect each other
And the people that have birthed us
We hatin on our loved ones
And loving who have hurt us

We forget about what means 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
Sometimes 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 true escape now
Them scars on your arm 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 hating on each other coz the skin we born with?
We take from each other, stab and rape one another
Stereotype a person coz they white or a brother

I'm confused
We fucked up like the drugs we used
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 a exit
I'm running to 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 from outside reflects from one good heart

And it don't matter where you came from
It don't matter where you start
We gon make it to the finish line, together not apart
Together not apart
It don't matter where you came from
It don't matter where you start
We gon make it to the finish line, together not apart
Together not apart
