Lyrics Diamond In the Rough - MC Uriah

They been sleep on me a long time
I think it's time to wake em up
I hope you know you talking to a diamond in the rough
I think life is like a chain, I just hope I make the cut
Aye
I don't play on the surface, I live deep in the guts
Wait, meant to say somewhere that there is feng shui
Cause to this day I still have yet to find some love
I've been out here running lost, like I'm playing at the park
Tryna put what's left of my heart back together, it's an art
Huh,
Ain't no doubt about it
Please don't listen to my music, you'll be glad you found it
It's the only thing I had to swim when I was drowning
For real, it made me shake and bake I'm Ricky Bobby
Hah, they used to laugh at me for how I sounded
I just laughed with em, thought I was astounding
It feels so new, but yet sounds so nostalgic
That's word from truth, I speak from peace and balance
Yo

but I'm not from this planet, knew that the moment I landed
Huh, got so much love inside of my heart I should can it
Or serve it up like a sandwich, maybe a smoothie, a salad
Nah, however you wanna get it is how you can have it
Let's get this shit, it's established
Already rolled out the patents
I'll make some beats, do the graphics,
Then mix that shit like a master
A walking project I can promise you that I'm not a rapper
I'm just a poet dream catching anything that I go after
yeah
Man, learn to do it all without no help
Everything I do, I do myself
Got a lot of tools under my belt
Did it for the city, I shared my wealth
And made a lot of artists look like stars but in a stealth

They've been sleep on me a long time
I think it's time to wake em up
I hope you know you talking to a diamond in the rough
I think life is like a game, you can watch me level up
And I'ma just leave it at that because I think I've said enough

Shh
