VERSE 1
Like a diamond in the dirt,
You come up through the city then you gotta stay alert,
All up in the studio please do not disturb,
Try and get my point across through every single word,
Its kinda difficult when you’re a dumb brat and loud,
But on the other hand we got the young, black and proud,
But pride is a fickle thing,
We gotta learn that, we aint gonna always win,
All of my brothers and my sisters that I represent,
Whether your black or white there aint no colour in the ends,
Im here to tell the truth, the whole truth and nothing else,
We fit descriptions but why is there no one else,
Committing homicides, I find that hard to believe,
We 10% not even half of them look like me,
Lets keep it positive, young brothers coming up,
Ill step aside and ill wish you all the best of luck,
Im out here tryna live the dream but my dream gets stuck,
In the grime and the bitterness and lack of love,
I lost my cousin and some friends yer I miss ya cuz,
Hey im a rapper now im tryna make a difference cuz,
Fans message me like Ty, how come you aint signed?
I don’t know fam, I aint really hard to find,
All my young kings work hard stay on your hustle,
And all my young queens, beautiful stay out of trouble,
Let no one sway you from your dreams, coz they’re getting closer,
You got the weight of the world resting on your shoulder,
You feel the hate, of all of your enemies,
But when you stare into their eyes-only look for peace,
Closer to my dreams, closer to my dreams

VERSE 2
I keep my head high most days most nights,
I got a lot of friends most just aint the close type,
Ill bring a little pop just to try and gain some leverage,
But they don’t care if im out here tryna send a message,
But nuff love to ya, tryna make the moula,
I write my thoughts down, Amen, Halleluiah,
My thought patterns different measuring it with a ruler,
Oh you’re a teacher, pleasure that I ever knew ya,
We need more doctors, teachers, and nurses,
We stuck with rappers & MC’s and verses,
I mean its entertaining but it aint gon’ change the world,
But your more likely a bigger house and plenty girls,
See how materialistic is all up on our brain,
For the money we could pour our soul right down the drain,
I aint no better but at least to me its clear as day,
And with this knowledge, I can start to pave the way,
Closer to my dreams, each and everyday,
If their black and white, then look for grey,
We aint the predators, but we aint the prey,
Listen to your heart, not what people say,
Closer to my dreams, closer to my dreams
