GroundWork Lyrics by Dyemond Lewis

G.E.M.S

2016

[Intro]
You skipping that groundwork
Dyemond is used to the hardwork
This is the wave your bitch surf
Cause you would rather take my word
You just be making it awkward
I pay them no mind and move-

[Verse 1]
You skipping that groundwork
Dyemond is used to the hard work
This is the wave your bitch surf
Cause you would rather take my word
You just be making it awkward
I pay them no mind and move forward
I could've made it to Harvard
But I'm focusing on making a hard verse
I been in the basement with the rats and roaches mixing potions, alchemy
They out for me
I stay high like balconies
Uh, I do this effortless
You do this so bashfully
I shine bright I'm serious, brightest star in the galaxy
Skipped school but I deserve credit
Creativity is embedded
I just get it done, you just don't get it
Life's a whip with hydraulics, full of ups and downs but no exit
Mom dreaded the fact that I was dreaded
Wouldn't change a thing if I could edit
Streets ain't safe, I keep the blade in my shawty's purse
Plus I heard the cops are shooting long-haired niggas first
Them niggas tried to rob me and some cops tried to stop me, all within the same hour
If I don't got me who got me?
I got my back like I got yours but I still know that you not me
I know that you not me
Do it too sloppy, I know that you not me

[Hook]
Whippin' that groundwork
Whippin' that, whippin' that groundwork
Whippin' that groundwork
Whippin' that, whippin' that groundwork

[Verse 2]
You still skipping that groundwork
I had to hit the ground first
I'm building from ground up
No serpents around us, nah
I leave the past where it belongs
I write down my wrongs blood ink pen now let that sink in
Man my thoughts be sporadic "what the fuck he thinkin'?"
I been in the deep end, so I know not to depend
On anybody, they need that hot shit, they heat seekin'
So keep them eyes locked, you need more Dyemond when these gems drop
Heaven gates is my next stop
Planet Earth is my rest stop
I'm enjoying the drama the beautiful women the wonderful come-up
The start of the saga, they sleeping on Dyemond
That's like going outside in pajamas
I pray to the Lord, we get connected on our own accord
Get connected on our own accord
Empty barrels make the most noise
'Cuz they hold no weight, that's an inner void
So heads up phones down, king
Don't drop that crown, king
King's County right around the corner so bow down and lay down, king
This is how that shit sounds when you let an enraged caged bird sing
King

[Outro]
Whippin' that groundwork
Skippin' that
Whippin' that, whippin' that groundwork
Skippin' that groundwork
Whippin' that groundwork
Skippin' that
Whippin' that, whippin' that groundwork
Skippin' that groundwork
You skippin' that groundwork
Skippin' that, skippin' that groundwork
