Diamonds in the Trash Can

Lyrics

[Verse 1] 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 [Chorus x2] 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 [Verse 2] 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 [Chorus x2] 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 [Verse 3] 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 [Chorus x2] 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
