Yea! Hidden Gem
Uh, here we are, aye
Diamond in the rough I'm cut different from my peers and I know shining is a must
Keep on diggin' ain't no time for givin' up
Got one life to live it up
I still got a lot to prove, sacrificed a lot and still I got a lot to lose
Put it on the line and just watch for what I do
Yea! Aye, yea
I've been battled tested, ever since an adolescent
Dealt with mad aggression, around the time my father left
For good without a trace, he was in and out my life
I know it's such a shame, he missed out on all the times
When I was growing up, never got a call to see
How I been holding up, when we used to speak
He'd hardly ever open up, and tell me certain things
He thought I wasn't old enough, to understand
That was back when I was putting mixtapes out on datpiff
Thought that'd be enough to put my name up on the map quick
I was thinking I would blow before I finished high school
Little did I know it wasn't time for my arrival
I did a lot of shows, to get some people out
But everybody stayed at home, I couldn't even bring a crowd
That shit would irk my soul, since nobody would hear me out
I'd be the last to go, on stage as people clearing out
Talking on the phone with my brother serving twenty
He said he's glad to hear about the man that I'm becoming
I told 'em ain't no slowing down I gotta keep it running
I promise I'ma hold it down that ain't up for discussion
A heavy hitting spitter out here handing out concussions
And bells are what I'm ringing need a helmet when I bring it
And the hell with what they speaking I'm the illest nigga breathing
How can you not believe it swear to God they gotta see it
I still dream about the day, I perform in coliseums
But as of right now a nigga still gon' be in school
I'll still be working part time making salads prepping food
Do what I gotta do 'til I make better revenue
Every trip I just improve I'm back and better in the booth
I'm better in the booth
Hidden gem I'm a diamond in the rough
I'm cut different from my peers and I know shining is a must
I gotta keep on digging ain't no time for giving up
I'ma kill it while I'm here I got one life to live it up yup
I still got a lot to prove, sacrificed a lot and still I got a lot to lose
Put it on the line and just watch for what I do
Whoever's in my way it's guaranteed I'm running through
Believe it I'm the truth
