Diamonds Lyrics by JL

Brain Scatter

2012

[Chorus: Codak Carter]
My name's in everybody's mouth
Whispering seems so loud and we about to blow
So many people poppin' up now, with their hands out
I ain't never even seen before
So out I pop the red pill, tryna stay sane and then
I pop the blue one, tryna maintain where I am
Stuck in the matrix, getting hard
Tryna be the one to survive it
But this pressure turn coal to diamonds

[Verse 1: J.L]
It’s getting hard living up, to what they say I am
But the thought of giving up, has been non-existent
I just been trying to go a little bit harder
Reconnecting with my heavenly father
Redirecting step into when I call her
'Cause mentally, I'm a mess, I’m becoming obsessed, thought of me ballin'
A physical body of stress, got energy less
Cause everyday I be putting my all in
Ain’t got time for nothing, nobody and when I do nobody callin'
Cause they remember the last couple times
They did call I ignored them
So now its Saturday night and I’m dying of boredom
But I got the studio at the crib might as well
Write down my thoughts and record them
Don’t wanna write about another club
Or calling out another thug
Or write about about another drug nah
Marijuana love
What you expecting none of you is above average cause of my buzz
So I’m digging deep, looking for ways to do what nobody does
Always went hard when no-one was listening
Destiny been whispering my name I answer back with this one

[Chorus: Codak Carter]
My name's in everybody's mouth
Whispering seems so loud and we about to blow
So many people poppin' up now, with their hands out
I ain't never even seen before
So out I pop the red pill, tryna stay sane and then
I pop the blue one, tryna maintain where I am
Stuck in the matrix, getting hard
Tryna be the one to survive it
But this pressure turn coal to diamonds

[Verse 2: J.L]
I got a million flows inside my head at every moment
This is my moment, try to seize it and own it
Squeeze it and hold it, battle within myself
No seeking opponents, creepin' up on it
See it's believing look like the scenery don’t it?
I'm seemingly beaming gleaming rolling and growing
My team a dream you can picture me rollin after I go in
Already know when ya'll get sick of me flowing
That I’m gone have to re-invent, the intent to please no-one
When you successful the thought of falling off can be stressful
You lose your heart and become a party professional
Forget it’s still a journey now fans are hardly impressed by you
Unless you do something, quickness is it cause fans are fickle fool
But they know that we just like them
Well actually I got more fans than the average man
And not enough bread to last me, to the end of the week
I live by the beat like you like check to check
If you don’t move you feet than we don’t eat
So move no disrespect

[Chorus: Codak Carter]
My name's in everybody's mouth
Whispering seems so loud and we about to blow
So many people poppin' up now, with their hands out
I ain't never even seen before
So out I pop the red pill, tryna stay sane and then
I pop the blue one, tryna maintain where I am
Stuck in the matrix, getting hard
Tryna be the one to survive it
But this pressure turn coal to diamonds

[Verse 3: J.L ]
Check, I’m looking for my best or nothing at all
Smooth, we're rugged and raw
Tell none of my people I'm duckin' the law
Or suffering I gotta fall
Involved with nigga’s with drug money stuffed in the walls
The feds were ended up called
So they came in made all of ‘em fall
Not pushing up books [?] they living through me
That's pressure, considerably, considered to be, the one
Literally I hope you help me make this world believe
Hurled into the limelight with not enough time to get my mind right
Too busy tryna get that lime right
They want a single, they wanna see you, want you to mingle
They friends wanna meet you gotta be loved by the people
You need that wicked production stay productive sick and seductive
And stick out in public, spit flames and nothing but it
Well alrighty then, the top is only for mighty men
Soon I’m strong armin' nigga’s starting tonight at ten
Not in the building, I’m on it like fucking Spider-Man
They power to do it’s inside my hand

[Chorus: Codak Carter]
My name's in everybody's mouth
Whispering seems so loud and we about to blow
So many people poppin' up now, with their hands out
I ain't never even seen before
So out I pop the red pill, tryna stay sane and then
I pop the blue one, tryna maintain where I am
Stuck in the matrix, getting hard
Tryna be the one to survive it
But this pressure turn coal to diamonds
