Petrified Gem Lyrics by Dubri

2017

[Verse 1]
When the walls come down
We're the last one to see that as a good thing
Cause we're too busy lookin around
Outside of ourselves, for a reason to be happy
For you the only question is
[Pre Chorus 1]
Can I be better than yesterday? Yeah
Can I improve on what I say? Yeah
Can I tell the truth or should I play dead
Fuck all the rules grab the keys to my heart and just play it
[Chorus 1]
Even if it doesn't always make sense
I'll be damned if I go numb on the fence
Rather make a difference than to make another friend
Rather be persistent over being a Petrified Gem
Rather make a difference than to make another friend
(Petrified Gem)
Rather be myself instead of having to pretend
(Petrified Gem)
Listen to the wisdom that is buzzing in your head
Baby You don't have to be another Petrified Gem
[Verse 2]
When the ground is shakin' (shakin' like it is)
That's just love in the makin
I know you heard pressure makes diamonds baby (what do you think this is?)
Pressure's On but let's not let time slip baby
For you the only question is
[Pre Chorus 2]
Can I be better than yesterday? Yeah
Can I improve on what I say? Yeah
Can I tell the truth or should I play dead
Fuck all the rules grab the keys to my heart and just play it
[Chorus 2]
Even if it doesn't always make sense
I'll be damned if I go numb on the fence
Rather make a difference than to make another friend
Rather be persistent over being a Petrified Gem
Rather make a difference than to make another friend
(Petrified Gem)
Rather be myself instead of having to pretend
(Petrified Gem)
Listen to the wisdom that is buzzing in your head
Baby You don't have to be another Petrified Gem
When the ground is shakin, at least we know something's in the makin (something's in the makin)
[Verse 3] ..yeah yeah yeah..
For the moments that you wanna hide, from how you really feel inside
Let's just really jump the hide dive otherwise we're living terrified
The issue's always gonna rise, stopping the flow or killing the vibe when you over-criticize everything you do, word from the wise, just
Make time everyday, to let your mind go away and shed off everything that they say
That disconnects you from God and the fact that He made you in time and space
And God doesn't make mistakes, to be much more than our Shape, (yeah)
This is our fate
Maybe you feel like you're late like an expiring date , I know you're chasing a dream who said you had to chase?
We're were not made to play it safe, this is for everything you went through
[now] Let's become who we're meant to
Chorus OUT---
