Diamond In the Rough (feat. Rae)

Niggas representing them I's & them E's
Tryna reach a level the odds can't reach
All I know Is hustle the grind Is In me
Play with me and you will see all I can be
Dino city made a real og
Ropes & Cuban links they shining on me
Shining on me

Every time I reminisce It drive me crazy
It was mom's on here lonely and her 2 baby's
It was me and sis with no pot to piss
How we came from nothing now we got the shit
Sis In college now mom's got three whips
Crazy how tables turn crazy how life switch
Don't talk about no struggles I'll take It there
If you ever slept on someone's floor and they ain't want you there
Getting kicked out middle of the night
Walked from Del Rosa to highland what a long night
But mom she stayed strong
So we stayed strong
Living In a shelter cause family moving wrong
Shaking up with strangers
Man I grew up hateful
Mama just want to thank you to let you know I'm thankful
And that's for everything
You was right there
We been through everything
Now we right here

Niggas representing them I's & them E's
Tryna reach a level the odds can't reach
All I know Is hustle the grind Is In me
Play with me and you will see all I can be
Dino city made a real og
Ropes & Cuban links they shining on me
Shining on me

Looking at myself I see a strong nigga
I Could of quit but I always seen the bigger picture
I was low as fuck a lot of shit I couldn't afford
Now the waist Versace
And cologne Dior
When you get a feel of winning you gone want some more
When you get tired of losing you gone open doors
But It's on god timing hard work and dedication
It ain't gone happen over night you got to have some patience
I be on some stacking shit
They be on some rapper shit
The way the people show me love you'll think I was a activist
Damn how we took here from everything we been through
Hard times pulled through solid on my end too
Counting all my blessings I'm just grateful for my place today
I appreciate the gang we done seen them rainy days
Coming from the streets the only goal Is make it out the maze
They thought we couldn't do it now every time they see us they amazed

Niggas representing them I's & them E's
Tryna reach a level the odds can't reach
All I know Is hustle the grind Is In me
Play with me and you will see all I can be
Dino city made a real og
Ropes & Cuban links they shining on me
Shining on me

I've cried so many nights
Had too many fights
Just to shine my light
And it's shining right on time
It's gets real deep but let me take It deeper
Feels like I've been besties with the grim reaper
The way my people dropping like flies
Some are in the dirt some are still alive
Them the ones I really do it for
Nothing less nothing more
Love galore
Until further more
Shining on me
Shining on me
It's shining on me

Niggas representing them I's & them E's
Tryna reach a level the odds can't reach
All I know Is hustle the grind Is In me
Play with me and you will see all I can be
Dino city made a real og
Ropes & Cuban links they shining on me
Shining on me
