Diamond in the Ruff Lyrics & Tabs by Q-Unique
Diamond in the Ruff
guitar chords lyrics
back when breakfast was a bag of chips
between mom and dad, the sadest trips
a young man who had a wish, to have a platinum disc
my parents gave life, the streets gave a family
and with the damage in my life, the streets saved my sanity
was in a room where the dog would shit and piss is where we slept
and soon it was all hit or miss and unfair regrets
no one ever gave a helping hand or ever showed remorse
and dear ol' dad left us with a tab, we had to pay the cost
of course there wasn't any helping relatives to lend
a hand or a plate of food
we broke and they like q stay in school
couldn't play the rules, had to find another way
so while my brother played, i strayed away to get a "j"
and brighten mothers day
couldn't play the rules, had to find another way
so while my brother played, i strayed away to get a "j"
and brighten mothers day
i brought the storm cause i was born and raised in ignorance
and with an alkoholic step dad, who gives a shit
in the end it all boils down to one thing
q-unique the diamond in the ruff, now watch the son bling
hook: (2x's)
these... streets test ya, q-unique under deep pressure
wisdom speaks, who needs a lecture
my soul dark coal, compressed and skuffed
i guess strivin aint enough for the diamond in the ruff
2nd verse:
now i know lots of people in high places
but that doesn't equal my career spotted in the right spaces
i talk it up with legends and laugh it up with favorites
the momment passes up and then i gotta hit the pavement
no man's responsible for another man's path
but in other camps i see other man's increasin' other man's math
a question of loyalty or a question of greed
and if i question the authority they won't let q lead
cats hold on to they spots like a niga's gonna rob
