Diamond In The Rough - Sapient

Aye, let me holler at you one second

I’ve been up all night

It’s called life, when I move slow

It’s alright, I never lost sight of my true goals

Exhale and seem smarter every other track

Swing harder every time I’m up to bat

Regardless, I’m a cunning cat

Respect my clean rep can never be tarnished by another man

Better sleep on it, come again?

(Why'd you brush away my grubby hand when I tried at that?)

Cause I can

Cocky prick, my confidence’ll stay high

Talking’s just part of the job and it pays fine

State wide, I’m on a mission to change lives

Bomb the system and be gone before the pain dries

There’s a diamond in the rough

I just feel like they ain’t found it yet

There’s a diamond in the rough, nah

Worth more than any 'round ya neck, yea

There’s a diamond in the rough

And if you can’t see it, you’re so dead wrong

There’s a diamond in the rough

The most slept on, it’s the North West y’all

I ain’t never gonna lose vision

My intuition is much too rigid

If the shoe’s fittin', let’s do business

I’m a mutant cross between human and musician

Crawling out the sewers with a staff sheet

Making a classy sculpture out of a trash heap

That’s me

North West by Northwestern

There ain’t no warm flesh in storm weather

It’s no pressure, y’all are actors to me

Court jesters that dance for the king

False independence, the menace is a phantom unseen

Tricking y’all to act like rats for the cheese

That paper ain’t blessed if it’s deceitfully acquired

But fiends are fiends and my beats’ll be the fire

Shit, not even an eagle’s wings are flyer

I do evil deeds with the machinery required

There’s a diamond in the rough

But I don’t think they know it exists, nah

There’s a diamond in the rough

Worth more than those that go on your wrists, yea

There’s a diamond in the rough

And if you can see it, you’re so dead on

There’s a diamond in the rough

The most slept on, it’s the North West y’all
