I gave my heart out
To the skies
And I know everyone in this city
Did the same
I touched the truth it's
Cold as ice
Spoke to god in my bed with tears all on my face
And we live in places
Got our own ways it's
Hard but we get to things
My parents say it's
Life got to play it
What's the point of this?
We live under the bridge in this city
Windows and yellow lights make it pretty
Some of us live check by check
Some go out to rob, some live by debt
Teachers and lawyers
Docs, nurses, architects
All the employers
Artist, poets, Intellects
They don't get no rest
Praying and manifest
But In these slow towns
We don't got many fests
Grateful mother put shoes on my feet
Got a studio now I go and choose who i feat
Get up in the morning, get food, do the sheets
Self Discipline, get the paper, get the sheets
Never seen a diamond but my soul is rich and I don't need no pity
Somewhere little boy selling water just to make a living
Never claimed luxury, appreciate humble beginnings
When life gets tough, we keep it pushing
We cannot live without the struggle
We were made to feel this pain
Our diamonds are our minds
Our cash is in our time
We
We don't have much paper
Gotta work to save up
Wake early and make the
ends meet
See
In these dangerous days yeah
Gotta keep the faith that
Better days will come
That's how we do it where I'm from
That's how we do it where we're from
We mistake bombs for stars here
We mistake grief for songs here
Ain't one of the rich so they give a shit
But I'm one to get the green you know my palm itch
Best believe we going to do it with fashion though
Aiming up catapult
Got the style they try to replicate like calicos
Man dreams don't cross us
hope we make it to 30
These streets are dust
This water is dirty
Kicking balls since the youth
They cannot keep us on mute
We don't duck where they shoot
It's cause we're used to abuse
We don't duck we the goose
Gone with the flow like the blues
I see red ain't no blues
Light up the candles they blew
We cannot live without the struggle
We were made to feel this pain
Our diamonds are our minds
Our cash is in our time
We
We don't have much paper
Gotta work to save up
Wake early and make the
ends meet
See
In these dangerous days yeah
Gotta keep the faith that
Better days will come
That's how we do it where I'm from
That's how we do it where we're from
That's how we do it, do it
