Before Diamonds (feat. Yung Martez)

Yuh yuh Carter what it do nigga They tell me i'm a star even though I don't feel like it I was shining before diamonds even though i'm real icy Tryna keep it real with snake niggaz Even though I know they'll still bite me Even though I know they'll still bite me They tell me i'm a star even though I don't feel like it I was shining before diamonds even though i'm real icy Tryna keep it real with snake niggaz Even though I know they'll still bite me When they say that they love you they don't mean it My hoodie and my gloves the streets cold and I'm anemic How the fuck I'm supposed to love when my heart is steady grieving Got these diamonds around my neck you know it's colder every season Believe me You know my money older than the deacon I pay my ten percent a month don't stay for all the preaching Money's the root of all evil well preacher why you need it Twelve disciples wasn't nothing but a table full of leaches Oh Jesus I ask my niggaz man am I a star or what Don't feel like I'm god or nun Forty seven cars pull up Everybody catered up Should have booked a charter bus Ain't nobody hard as us Invested in myself it took me far as fuck They tell me i'm a star even though I don't feel like it I was shining before diamonds even though i'm real icy Tryna keep it real with snake niggaz Even though I know they'll still bite me Even though I know they'll still bite me They tell me i'm a star even though I don't feel like it I was shining before diamonds even though i'm real icy Tryna keep it real with snake niggaz Even though I know they'll still bite me I then shared clothes with niggaz who stole from me Same niggaz that stole from me thought they was bros to me I'll die behind my respect that's really owed to me That shit still fuck with my head even though it's old to me A nigga do something for you once feel like you owe him this and owe him that All the shit I do for niggaz just drop some shit and they supposed to react These niggaz will never admit it but they know he that Tryna keep it real with the wrong niggaz that shit hold me back Say Carter they say blood thicker than water Well if that's true then why it feel like a stranger nigga go harder for ya My daddy wasn't there it feel like the streets was more of a father for me They say i'm the greatest but the pain was really a starter for me They tell me i'm a star even though I don't feel like it I was shining before diamonds even though i'm real icy Tryna keep it real with snake niggaz Even though I know they'll still bite me Even though I know they'll still bite me They tell me i'm a star even though I don't feel like it I was shining before diamonds even though i'm real icy Tryna keep it real with snake niggaz Even though I know they'll still bite me
