J.L. of B. Hood - Diamonds lyrics

[Hook: Codak Carter] My name's in everybody's mouth Whispering seems so loud and we about to blow So many people poppin' up now, with their hands out I ain't never even seen before So out I pop the red pill, tryna stay sane and then I pop the blue one, tryna maintain where I am Stuck in the matrix, getting hard Tryna be the one to survive it But this pressure turn coal to diamonds [Verse 1: J.L] It's getting hard living up, to what they say I am But the thought of giving up, has been non-existent I just been trying to go a little bit harder Reconnecting with my heavenly father Redirecting step into when i call her [?] a mess, I'm becoming obsessed, thought of me ballin' A physical body of stress, got energy less Cause everyday I be putting my all in Ain't got time for nothing, nobody and when I do nobody callin' Cause they remember the last couple times They did call I ignored them So now its Saturday night and I'm dying of boredom But I got the studio at the crib might as well Write down my thoughts and record them Don't wanna write about another club Or calling out another thug Or write about about another drug nah Marijuana love What you expecting none of you is above average cause of my buzz So I'm digging deep, looking for ways to do what nobody does Always went hard when no-one was listening Destiny been whispering my name I answer back with this one [Hook: Codak Carter] My name's in everybody's mouth Whispering seems so loud and we about to blow So many people poppin' up now, with their hands out I ain't never even seen before So out I pop the red pill, tryna stay sane and then I pop the blue one, tryna maintain where I am Stuck in the matrix, getting hard Tryna be the one to survive it But this pressure turn coal to diamonds [Verse 2: J.L] I got a million flows inside my head at every moment This is my moment, try to seize it and own it Squeeze it and hold it, battle within myself No seeking opponents, creepin' up on it See it's believing look like the scenery don't it? I'm seemingly beaming gleaming rolling and growing My team a dream you can picture me rollin after I go in Already know when ya'll get sick of me flowing That I'm gone have to re-invent, the intent to please no-one When you successful the thought of falling off can be stressful You lose your heart and become a party professional Forget it's still a journey now fans are hardly impressed by you Unless you do something, quickness is it cause fans are fickle fool But they know that we just like them Well actually I got more fans than the average man And not enough bread to last me, to the end of the week I live by the beat like you like cheque to cheque If you don't move you feet than we don't eat So move no disrespect [Hook: Codak Carter] My name's in everybody's mouth Whispering seems so loud and we about to blow So many people poppin' up now, with their hands out I ain't never even seen before So out I pop the red pill, tryna stay sane and then I pop the blue one, tryna maintain where I am Stuck in the matrix, getting hard Tryna be the one to survive it But this pressure turn coal to diamonds [Verse 3: J.L ] Check, I'm looking for my best or nothing at all Smooth, we're rugged and raw Tell none of my people I'm duckin' the law Or suffering I gotta fall Involved with n***a's with drug money stuffed in the walls The feds were ended up called So they came in made all of ‘em fall Not pushing up books [?] they living through me That's pressure, considerably, considered to be, the one Literally I hope you help me make this world believe Hurled into the limelight with not enough time to get my mind right Too busy tryna get that lime right They want a single, they wanna see you, want you to mingle They friends wanna meet you gotta be [?] You need that wicked production stay productive sick and seductive And stick out in public, spit flames and nothing but it Well alrighty then, the top is only for mighty men Soon I'm strong armin' n***a's starting tonight at ten Not in the building, I'm on it like f**ing spider man They power to do it's inside my hand [Hook: Codak Carter] My name's in everybody's mouth Whispering seems so loud and we about to blow So many people poppin' up now, with their hands out I ain't never even seen before So out I pop the red pill, tryna stay sane and then I pop the blue one, tryna maintain where I am Stuck in the matrix, getting hard Tryna be the one to survive it But this pressure turn coal to diamonds
