[Intro: Diana Ross and The Supremes - Someday We'll Be Together Acapella sample]
Mmhm
Ah, ah, ah, ahha
Ooh
[Verse 1]
I’m poor not rich no more, i’m flawed to crashing markets
Stalls those people, stalling these people (yeah)
Attempt to say to you who’s listening to my own equal
Opinions on my head top, skinny mental Keto
My house is burning off, step to Harlem chasing (yah)
Dreamt it every night, got challenges to face it
Hearing a poor man’s views on this planet (nah, yeah)
Is kinda hard to comprehend, but what we know about it ('bout)
Is nothing (yeah), we learnt nothing in these schools
Coz they teach us to abandon life and focus on the nеws (ah, ah, yeah)
Instead of making love and pеace, we’re making jobs to murder humans
Calling boss to get upgraded to a spot with better movements (yeah)
I can’t be political, can’t speak with these words
Coz i’m still just a kid, I guess I don’t know how things work
I never knew how it worked but i’m still here (here)
I’m still here breathing so I gotta be
[Chorus]
Dead Diana
Dead Diana
Dead Diana
We’ve had murderers be better people
Dead Diana
Dead Diana
Dead
Many politicians hide their truth and evil
Dead Diana
Dead Diana
Dead Diana
We’ve had murderers be better people
Dead Diana
Dead Diana
Dead
Many politicians hide their truth and evil
[Verse 2]
Look, i’m poor not rich no more
Money never looked me in the eyes, eyesore (yeah)
Guess you’re getting caught up in these ties
Fake lies under friend and fam, only to my knowledge
I’ve been left behind, betrayal always held my hand (woo)
I didn’t get so many people on my side because they saw me as a target, said i’m in the closet
Just coz I was different, but want to make a difference
Only been the weirdo for my life so I have to be
[Chorus]
Dead Diana
Dead Diana
Dead Diana
We’ve had murderers be better people
Dead Diana
Dead Diana
Dead
Many politicians hide their truth and evil
Dead Diana
Dead Diana
Dead Diana
We’ve had murderers be better people
Dead Diana
Dead Diana
Dead
Many politicians hide their truth and evil
[Outro: an interview with Pharrell Williams]
And them dudes is cool in school but now them dudes take orders
And i'm not dissing the jobs, but now they listen in line
And I know that's some outer limit shit, I know that position is high
Coz they didn't think that and neither did I
But instead of shitting on 'em
Don't hold f- don't hold your breath coz you could turn blue
Trust me you can excel and you could do it too
And i'm planning these things 'til I die
When the holy father hand me my wings
When I was young yo the teacher couldn't stand when we dream
But giving me music is like drugs in the hand of a fiend
They shoot it up (up, up, up, up, up)
