Aeon Quiz - Diamond In The Rough Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I gotta find a way to make it out the hood
The fight is real and I ain't about to lose
I can't be stuck forever living this life
The powers that be don't want us reaching new heights
There's more in this world I haven't seen yet
I'm frustrated daily, I get on these records to vent
My pockets is dry, and if it were the opposite
I'd be living in the booth, spazzing constantly
Giving y'all the real, something that's rare
I don't have a backup plan, I put my trust in these words
I'm writing still, but I have no clue how this'll work
I keep to myself, people assume I'm kicking back
It's been four years since high school, I still ain't went to college
I'm far behind my peers, there's nothing I have accomplished
No NSFAS for rap, can't apply for funds
They don't care about no strugglin' rapper's Midas touch

[Hook]
I done been down for the longest
I've been looking for a way out
Been praying for my moment
And I know that
Everything gon' work out in the end
I don't doubt that I'm gon' win
Everyday I use this pen
I'm getting closer
I'm a diamond in the rough
You're 'bout to see me shining now
I'll be going far, won't be stopping
I need to win, I can't be taking any losses
[Verse 2]
I'm surrounded by people doubting but I know I have it
I won't allow nothing to pin me down, I'll show the masses
I'll be a testament to the kids
That outside this place there's a better world there to see
I'm in the same position now, I know the pressures they feel
I've seen niggas give up on their dreams and turn to the streets
Skipping classes in school, then it's the substance abuse
Thieve to feed the high like there isn't much else to do
It's an everyday thing, niggas is lost in a labyrinth
I just hope that cycle breaks when I talk to the youngins
Let 'em know there's somebody's willing to offer them something
Don't wanna see nobody else go in a coffin with nothing
Probably stabbed by niggas he was calling his buddies
Then it's back to normal for them, these corners disgusting
One minute you're here, next minute shit is tragic
I hold this pen so I can write myself a different ending

[Hook x2]
I done been down for the longest
I've been looking for a way out
Been praying for my moment
And I know that
Everything gon' work out in the end
I don't doubt that I'm gon' win
Everyday I use this pen
I'm getting closer
I'm a diamond in the rough
You're 'bout to see me shining now
I'll be going far, won't be stopping
I need to win, I can't be taking any losses
