[Intro]
Yeah
Let us pray, you know what I'm sayin'?
For all the mass shootings around America and shit, man
Shit is real out this motherfucker, man
This is crazy
Uh, yo

[Chorus]
I was a diamond in the rough
Life as a shorty shouldn't be so tough
Is it a blessing or luck to make it to the surface?
From the bottom of the barrel, open closed curtains, uh

[Verse]
Bottle caps and cigarette butts, Uzis and snubs
The bigger the gun, the lesser the love
We do what it does, ain't no ceiling to life
I want a million in cash, you want a million in likes
Got my foot on the gas, my back to the past
My third eye on the future, current mindstate in the present
Drug deals and sales got the hood hot as a desert
In my day, I seen a lot of stressin', risin' above occasions
Gun clickin' if any n***a testin'
A diamond in the mud, wipe the dirt off, still shinin' flawless
Family tree of alcoholics, branches hung off
I catch any foes lackin', I'm knockin' one off
Ain't no love lost, it's just gon' be blood loss
How much it costs? Your life is a one-off
Gun boss, weavin' in and out the fire, rap messiah
Kanye through the wire, open fire on the industry
And all my enemies
I'm smokin' dragon fruit to relieve demons, that's the remedy
I wash it down with a tad bit of Hennessy
Then use your bitch for her motherfuckin' energy
[Chorus]
I was a diamond in the rough
Life as a shorty shouldn't be so tough
Is it a blessing or luck to make it to the surface?
From the bottom of the barrel, open closed curtains, uh
I was a diamond in the rough
Life as a shorty shouldn't be so tough
Is it a blessing or luck to make it to the surface?
From the bottom of the barrel, open closed curtains, uh
