1993 / Diamonds II

I lost a lot in 19 but imma get that back
I was condensing 20 years into 18 tracks
Every night I'm at Denny's laptop in my bag
Mixing my vocals having visions of the world in my hands
Sweat in my palms like Marshall, and mind full of raps
Man I'm tryna fill the shoes of my dad, something to prove
But I got everything to lose, day and night in the lab
Because this music shit was all that I had
So I started from scratch
I heard they looking for that real rap shit again
Well here I am Javion back and I ain't playing fair
They wondering if Imma take it there
Niggas swear they fye but I'm Top 5 and there ain't no more space in here
Whoever think they at the top should not be comfortable
Enjoy it while you can because I got a reservation there
Don't get complacent there, the fear of God is in my fists
When I appear it's gone feel like the end of days in here
Tell the Grammys I said thank you in advance
Let the champagne splash, let that man get past
This the deuce watch me step in to the booth and takeoff
And every thing I pen is gas so ain't no telling where I land
Ralph Lauren duffle niggas in a different type of bag
You know heavy duty Glad, Translation: niggas trash
If it's smoke I never ran boy my team wit everything
And you outta luck cause all my lil shooters want a ring
I see faces in my sleep
Count your days you in the beam
Blessings over every beat
Because I pray for what I eat
Never safe don't ever think that you can take nothing from me
I've evolved I'm stepping back into my status as the king nigga
They killed me once I rose a Phoenix from the ashes
Everything I drop is heat my nigga trade me to Miami
Niggas asking Javi how you make a sequel to a classic
Like Hakeem in 93 I'm bout to do it back to back bitch
I'm about to put my city on the map
This like a Harden step back niggas know this shit a splash boy
I'm Mike Lowery how I'm hopping out the Rari
Stop playing with DUALIS y'all forgot we was some bad boys
We ride together, die together, and when it's time we gone shine together
Because we cried together
Legend has it that the crown was heavy
I got my weight up took it back and now it's mine forever
Y'all quick to fold when pressure is applied
You make your bed before you lie you close your eyes and pray to god
That I wake on the right side of mine or all you niggas dying
Young J-A-V-I tell these niggas one more time

The JEWELS of Mother Nature we bare labor with sweaty palms
Karat Cut and Clarity, fixed appraisal to move it raw
From the Kimberly mines to the coast of Sierra Leone
It was precious jewels that were fuel for the terrorism and war
How beauty comes from the darkest of caverns, packed in the dirt
Extracted from Mama's womb to distribute about the earth
Diasporic in its nature, yet infinite in its worth
Foreign barter intervention, a generational curse
Originated from gods, the common princes and prophets
Invading the sacred land on a princess cut and a promise
Imperial sac-religion, a lust for symbolic power
To pillage, plunder and rape for the great American dollar
The shape and the polish, freedom for capital is the sum of the
Western philosophy, make you turn a gun on your brother
And million block ammunition exchanged for an emerald cut of
The crystal, bullets and missiles the district never recovered
Underhand the De Beers with a cut rate and they settle
For white collar commercials where diamonds become forever
Tears in the same soil they toiled to light they neck up
We are everything they have, it's impossible to forget us
20th century interest, the market prices are climbing
And other options discovered, the coveted Black Diamond
In my DNA, my worth cannot be analyzed by GIA
I plea my case, I never sleep, I live and give my dreams a shape, the
Second coming new installment, and it's twice as hard as
The former artist, assassinated, I'm Giovanni
The new incarnate, Machiavelli, I'm Son and Father
The Lord Bishop, I told niggas, I been immortal
