kevin anglade - diamond (in the rough) lyrics

fcx news (third segment): as the heat continues to rise, city officials are projecting the worst shooting totals since summer of 1990. this is kristina chapman reporting live from philly for fcx news
chorus (1x): i’m a diamond in the rough/i know i got a chance but the devil calling on me and he tryna make me dance/i’m a diamond in the rough/i’m tryna make it out/but the hood is like a maze/there’s no solid proven route
verse 1: scholar since birth know my worth cause i been really clawing just to make it out/tryna find a way through the day getting paid, just surviving like wе do it for the clout
devil (pre+vеrse):
no time to be a scholar
you better get your dollar
you tired of your squalor
they test you make em’ holler
no time leaving for living proper
they took away your father
so now grab the revolver
it’s time to pop your collar
verse 2: wanna get away from all the pain and the doubt/wanna be free/wanna live a life/wanna live in peace cause i’m tired of the strife/wanna see a day i get to see my wife
devil (pre+verse x2)
you gotta live your life
you stuck within a strife
you gotta have a knife
or better yet, a rife
verse 3: was a good kid/had a good bro/then i lost it all when they shot at me and joe/this was numbing, bullets humming, guitar strumming, from a drumming we was walkin, coming from the store’
(devil (pre+verse):
they shot at you and joe
was leaving out the sto’
his body hit the flo
you never been so low
it’s all you really know
you cried behind the do’
this living when you po’
they reap and now you so
bridge (lady luck):
always remember i believed in you
when you were at your lowest
eli pick yourself up
you’re a diamond baby
when life’s pressure builds
you turn into diamond baby
verse 2: poppa is a jew but he schmooze with the booze/lost him and my brother/so i was set to lose/living in america they rid us of the clues/now you off to pen where they bedding by the twos/
devil (pre+verse):
bedding by the twos
the african misused
enslave us then abuse
living off the booze
totally confused
put us on a cruise
mistreated cause our hues
shipped us off to lose
verse 3: first time in the cellie, so you know it ain’t a dooze/the mystery of white is a set up for a ruse/this is the perception when you see us on the news/there’s no pick or choose/so we living like the blues!
devil (pre+verse):
missing all they screws
the misery ensues
death total accrues
this i refuse
and so i blow my fuse
attacking the crew
we make it on the news
i’m looking at the views
verse 4: hit em’ in the back/cl!ck, clack with a mac/getting filled up with lead once we make contact/so they fighting just to make it like a player’s contract/plus, this a game of chess so you know they get sacked
chorus (1x): i’m a diamond in the rough/i know i got a chance but the devil calling on me and he tryna make me dance/i’m a diamond in the rough/i’m tryna make it out/but the hood is like a maze/there’s no solid proven route
