[Verse 1]
It really ain’t smart to be grinnin’ and actin’ the friendliest
‘Cause many you thought to be with you are actually envious
Any unfortunate issue, they laughing continuous
When you got more than them, they wishing that you was penniless
You coming to share some news happily
Practically knowing your family’s gonna react enthusiastically
But tragically, when you tell ‘em casually
Those that have flashes of apathy begin smashing you automatically
The hope that you building, feelings’ll steal it
Your idea's a village so they drop venomous bombs down and pillage
The minute that they take time to hear it
It’s clear that their only intention is to deliberately kill your spirit
So with that I’ve conclusively concluded
That for you to keep choosing to speak what you wanna do would truly be foolish
Your dreams are valuable and vast, man
So telling them to the wrong people’s like placing a diamond in the trash can

[Chorus x2]
So check it out, it’s one question I wanna ask, man
Why you putting diamonds in the trash can?
Keep your dreams to yourself, don’t tell them haters
Plan your work, work your plan, let ‘em see it later

[Verse 2]
Never tell your dreams to the miserable
They’re privately wishing you never see the fruition that make it visible
Their main move in life is to drain you
Discourage your personal gain through negativity and contain you
Their entire existence is shameful
Their own failure is painful so with the same move they try to stain you
Now you leaving what you done started cold
Plans told to a heartless soul is like dropping solid gold in a toilet bowl
Fall back, be the first to retract
‘Cause what you plan on manifesting, they’re not worthy of that
What you tryna obtain seems a non-sensible claim
Because you functioning on a incomprehensible plane
Jealous mode in effect, they don’t wanna show you respect
Pessimistic views attacking any goals that you set
Tryna slowly inject doubtful seeds over your neck
You on another level, they ain’t even noticed it yet
[Chorus x2]
So check it out, it’s one question I wanna ask, man
Why you putting diamonds in the trash can?
Keep your dreams to yourself, don’t tell them haters
Plan your work, work your plan, let ‘em see it later

[Verse 3]
You thought he was your ace, letting snakes breathe in your face
You might as well let a sick patient sneeze in your face
You believe that you great, they laced with heathenous traits
Your successes are overlooked but they see your mistakes
And even though you did your best, you didn’t quite reach the top
But instead of props, they telling the people you flopped
To they own low self-esteem, they in denial
Because the worst you ever did beat they best by a mile
You continue to maintain a calm happy refrain
‘Cause you was taught not to return evil back in exchange
But shady people take advantage, they might look all real
Give ‘em an inch and they gon’ take a whole football field
Close people in your circle be hoping you come apart
Same ones who was secretly hating you from the start
Guard your jewels ‘cause fools will try to plot on the King
These diamonds exist in the mind, not on a ring

[Chorus x2]
So check it out, it’s one question I wanna ask, man
Why you putting diamonds in the trash can?
Keep your dreams to yourself, don’t tell them haters
Plan your work, work your plan, let ‘em see it later
