NATURE, NURTURE.

Remember Dad would say that I was childish in a way

Shit I've been nine for seven days

Of course I'm childish in the way

That I ain't thinking bout the reason the economy tanked

And so they put me through the pressure

That's how diamonds are made

That shit done put me through depression

How much time in a day?

Shit I been counting away

My fourth grade counselor say

You'll never see the diamond shine if you just mining away

Cause when the light don't, fuck

He's come to us and told us that's how he feels

And how does that make you feel?

But you've done a great job with him

And how did that change you

He's very quiet, respectful… great with numbers

And how many times? Can you remember?

Such a bright future ahead of him

And do you wish you could get those moments back?

Cause when the light don't reach

You see the things the eye can't teach

You lead a horse to water but he might won't drink

And if you drown em in the fountain

What the fuck does that accomplish?

You don't need no fucking doctor for the diagnosing

I mean really what am I proposing?

Nothing much? So what's the fuss?

You making Pfeiffer scenes

You see we living in a world where niggas die for kings

It seems that I was born a nigga that could light the beam

If I could dream upon a star

My story wouldn't be far

But if I had to pick a galaxy it wouldn't be ours

The world revolves around the sun

But ours revolves around a sum

And every time I fucked it up I felt I wasn't a son

Now I ain't bitching I'm just saying will the love really come?

Where does love really rest?

When the trophies come out

When I pose for the crowd

When they scoring the test,

And we have to face reality, I wasn't the best

But see this never could be true

And if it was your evening blue

My theory, from me to you

I say it's just a family thing

We stand as a team

Shit we could handle any animal humanity bring

Now I was never 'bout the gambling thing

But I would bet my bottom dollar on this next fact

I take that generational trauma

Bring it to the bank

I bet I get a motherfucking check back
