Diamonds and chains, they all caught up in the fame
Staying away, I'm just counting up my chains Yeah, I'll show you the pain when the ink
Touch the page Darker the day, the more people wanna pray
I ain't even gon' hate, cause I know what it feel like
Sitting all alone, staring at the moonlight Who was still there when the money real tight
Thug it out, dawg, this is f*cking real life
Uh, this is real life, had to pay the bills, dawg
Stay up there like the software on a new phone Stay mowing the grass, I see the snakes close
Ain't wanna really talk about my past, Don't get me started, I departed from the party, okay
Bring spicy in life like wasabi, okay Still rocking Chuck Taylor's, I'm a good cook
Bringing flavor to the game like I'm Westbrook Don't get me twisted, I ain't rocking no baby
Off come the thing and do rag like I'm wavy When shit get hard, who the f*ck gon' help me
Shit get hard, my pops always tell me that
Diamonds and chains, they all caught up in the fame
Staying away, I'm just counting up my chains Yeah, I'll show you the pain when it ink
Touch the page Darker the day, the more people wanna pray
I ain't even gon' hate, cause I know what it feel like
Sitting all alone, staring at the moonlight Who was still there when the money real tight
Thug it out, dawg, this is f*cking real life
Small glimpse to mirrors , yeah, they cause tears We cyborgs, now ain't that what I fear
No robot could recreate what I got I stress out and sometimes I smoke pot
I'm human, I make my own movement Seek knowledge, keep on improving
A man is never truly satisfied, so they say So with temptation, tugging on my f*cking name
I should turn around and I should run away Bad habits reminding me I've been the same
I never lost the pain, I can't be the same All they want, all they want, all they want is
Diamonds and chains, they all caught up in the fame
Staying away, I'm just counting up my chains Yeah, I'll show you the pain when it ink
Touch the page Darker the day, the more people wanna pray
I ain't even gon' hate, cause I know what it feel like
Sitting all alone, staring at the moonlight Who was still there when the money real tight
Thug it out, dawg, this is f*cking real life
