Up in the club, takin’ shots to the face
Toast to the fact that we livin’ better days
I got tears of joy, I just bought my folks a place
They told me not to do it, but I did it anyway
Paid vacays, flyin’ home same day
We got different issues, baby, we not on the same page, uh
Did the album in New York, but dropped in LA, uh
Shoutout 88, that’s my family to the grave
There’s a shining light in you, baby
Even though your point of view’s hazy
You been ready to give up lately
But we all diamonds in the rough, baby
There’s a shining light in you, baby
Even though your point of view’s hazy
You been ready to give up now lately
But we all diamonds in the rough, yeah, baby
I don’t like to social (no)
Listen to my song and you be quiet (shh)
When you see my face on the wall (I see it)
You were shocked but I feel normal (normal) (yes sir)
Everybody wears the mask I made (uh-huh)
In the club, in the room, or on the face (uh-huh)
Act shy, you think I’m angry (grr)
I just drove my shit, I think it’s vibratin’
I know I’m rich when I drive fast
When you see my eyes, then relax please
Sorry, I’m not paid to say, oh
I just wanna like, baby, say hello
I will join you when you feel ill, ill
I will make you happy and happy for real, for real
Everything for real
I will make you happy and happy for real
There’s a shining light in you, baby
Even though your point of view’s hazy
You been ready to give up lately
But we all diamonds in the rough, baby
There’s a shining light in you, baby
Even though your point of view’s hazy
You been ready to give up now lately
But we all diamonds in the rough, yeah, baby
