As I slip my kicks on one foot at a time Then I throw these denim on that I just put to the side Shades and shirt match now, feel good cause I'm fly Stand up, approach the mirror then look in my eyes The clothes ain't making me a better man I woke up today praying for a better plan Even though I'm fly, I'm trying to make it out of Neverland Cause if I never grow up then who gon' lend a hand? Just a hook, I call it piracy I'm losing privacy, but here's the irony I want to be alone when I step inside my home But then I'm looking at my phone, hoping that a girl's dialing me But it never rings, no text either I'm staring at my BlackBerry's BBM feature And I know she read it, I see the "R" If you ain't gonna respond, then why you read it for? Art galleries and rap battles Super Street Fighter IV, bad damsels $300 kicks, plaid flannels This is my life, welcome to my Black Apple I seen competition pa** me But ask me if I think any will outlast me And lastly, I reply gladly The flyest Benz couldn't outcla** me; diamond dust Diamond dust Diamond dust Diamond dust Diamond dust Abandoned, but never stranded I'll see you when I get here, I just landed Lost my laptop and can't figure how that happened I hope my carelessness made somebody else happy My brother Dutch told me since day 1 Him and I would be like Jay-Z and Dame, son At the Grammy podium, water in my eyes, I'm trying to hold it in I can't wait until that day comes I thought about where I came from I ain't have an opportunity until I made one So when I say "I'm Better Than You" I only say it to the person I literally changed from Anyway, I got to say it everyday Soundtrack to my life, got to play it everyday Why rap about money, spending paper everyday When there's people that's poor out in Haiti everyday? It's crazy in a way, but that don't stop me From shopping and copping things that I do not need Damn, I make it up to my fans Who really don't think I say as much as I can Well, I'm not laying up in the sand I spread diamonds to the people, break them up in my hands Dust, diamond dust Diamond dust Diamond dust Diamond dust Diamond dust Diamond dust Diamond dust Diamond dust
