Everyone talks about price in the city
Rent to high space tight inn the city
We all want good take a bite of the cookie
But everything got its price gotta work rookie rookie
When the going gets tough we fight innit
So everyone keeps high as a kite pretty much
Weekends are lost to the hype sipping stuff
Feel a little light sniffing white fairy dust
Survivals a must can't slip through the slits of the times biting dust
Can't bow to the system and its cuffs for living up
Cause hell will freeze over before the streets give us up
Price is a pitty yet the people got the love
Every corners got a hub
Stay up all night yeah we burning it up
If you not living life then you not one of us
Because all of my buddies just diamonds in the rough
Diamonds in the rough
Diamonds in the rough
Diamonds in the rough
Diamonds in the rough
Diamonds in the rough
Everyone talks about price in the city
I didn't takes notes till the smoke really hit me
God are you still with me
I don't care about the cost
I'm going for victory
My hearts not a rock you know my history
Just not used to live angers no mystery
When you new to the buzz it all looks pretty
But reality is that we in the dark and we hoping
And we hopping that the light creeps in
Can't let these walls close in
My stomach growls within
Just holding on gleaming
This city needs tough skin
I heard the street child sing
Moneys the root of sin
Can let the lights go dim
Keep digging deeper still
It's about the iron will
Passion that makes you feel
Hunger you can't conceal
The gifts we share with zeal
Believer or heathen
We are our own healing
The change the worlds needing
Keep this heart beating
Diamonds in the rough
Even in the rough its all enough
Diamonds in the rough
Hope you see my heart and know that
Diamonds in the rough
Diamonds in the rough
Diamonds in the rough diamonds in the rough
Everyone talks about price in the city
Diamonds in the rough diamonds in the rough
Rent to high space tight inn the city
