Uncut Gems lyrics
by Nicholas Craven
[Intro]
Yeah (yeah)
This sh*t's so gritty man, word
It's the soundtrack, the soundtrack to the streets right now
It's a fact, let's get 'em
[Verse]
I'm not the one to play with, look, you've been advised
Look in his eyes and you'll see a soul that's darker than genocide
Desensitized, relaxing before the body's identified
I've been inside where men have died, murdered cold for defending pride
I'm energized, n*ggas drop their flag and gеt penalized
Like Brony Jamеs, they only want smoke before the king arrives
You n*ggas high could tell in your vocals, you ain't too fit to ride
Your bitter cries just show you emotional, those things I sit aside
This sh*t applies to all of you locals, you should admit you lied
I split the pie 'cause n*ggas get hopeful when you legitimize
Depitomize my life, n*gga, here's some advice, n*gga
People accept the wounds when they love who's holding the knife, n*gga
I'm just tryna get right with ya, I paint precise pictures
Write scriptures dark, but can shine as bright as some light fixtures
I just search for the right mixtures, fronting, I might strip ya
Rob a n*gga plain bare-faced, sorta like Mike Ditkas
I was into wrapping grams, now I'm the rapper Ran
And I could pack the stands out in Pakistan with a pack of Stans
Never had a backup plan, never had promotion, never wrapped a van
But I had devotion before that smack on cam
Catch me in a traffic jam, clap the man, back the Land-
Cruiser up, and now it's arugula with the rack of lamb
You could see we ain't cut the same (nah)
I'm a diamond in the rough, yup
An uncut gem stuck in this rough terrain
