| It really ain’t smart to be grinnin' and actin' the friendliest
|
| ‘Cause many you thought to be with you are actually envious
|
| Any unfortunate issue, they laughing continuous
|
| When you got more than them, they wishing that you was penniless
|
| You coming to share some news happily
|
| Practically knowing your family’s gonna react enthusiastically
|
| But tragically, when you tell ‘em casually
|
| Those that have flashes of apathy begin smashing you automatically
|
| The hope that you building, feelings’ll steal it
|
| Your idea’s a village so they drop venomous bombs down and pillage
|
| The minute that they take time to hear it
|
| It’s clear that their only intention is to deliberately kill your spirit
|
| So with that I’ve conclusively concluded
|
| That for you to keep choosing to speak what you wanna do would truly be foolish
|
| Your dreams are valuable and vast, man
|
| So telling them to the wrong people’s like placing a diamond in the trash can
|
| So check it out, it’s one question I wanna ask, man
|
| Why you putting diamonds in the trash can?
|
| Keep your dreams to yourself, don’t tell them haters
|
| Plan your work, work your plan, let ‘em see it later
|
| Never tell your dreams to the miserable
|
| They’re privately wishing you never see the fruition that make it visible
|
| Their main move in life is to drain you
|
| Discourage your personal gain through negativity and contain you
|
| Their entire existence is shameful
|
| Their own failure is painful so with the same move they try to stain you
|
| Now you leaving what you done started cold
|
| Plans told to a heartless soul is like dropping solid gold in a toilet bowl
|
| Fall back, be the first to retract
|
| ‘Cause what you plan on manifesting, they’re not worthy of that
|
| What you tryna obtain seems a non-sensible claim
|
| Because you functioning on a incomprehensible plane
|
| Jealous mode in effect, they don’t wanna show you respect
|
| Pessimistic views attacking any goals that you set
|
| Tryna slowly inject doubtful seeds over your neck
|
| You on another level, they ain’t even noticed it yet
|
| So check it out, it’s one question I wanna ask, man
|
| Why you putting diamonds in the trash can?
|
| Keep your dreams to yourself, don’t tell them haters
|
| Plan your work, work your plan, let ‘em see it later
|
| You thought he was your ace, letting snakes breathe in your face
|
| You might as well let a sick patient sneeze in your face
|
| You believe that you great, they laced with heathenous traits
|
| Your successes are overlooked but they see your mistakes
|
| And even though you did your best, you didn’t quite reach the top
|
| But instead of props, they telling the people you flopped
|
| To they own low self-esteem, they in denial
|
| Because the worst you ever did beat they best by a mile
|
| You continue to maintain a calm happy refrain
|
| ‘Cause you was taught not to return evil back in exchange
|
| But shady people take advantage, they might look all real
|
| Give ‘em an inch and they gon' take a whole football field
|
| Close people in your circle be hoping you come apart
|
| Same ones who was secretly hating you from the start
|
| Guard your jewels ‘cause fools will try to plot on the King
|
| These diamonds exist in the mind, not on a ring
|
| So check it out, it’s one question I wanna ask, man
|
| Why you putting diamonds in the trash can?
|
| Keep your dreams to yourself, don’t tell them haters
|
| Plan your work, work your plan, let ‘em see it later |
