Diamonds In The Rough

歌詞

[Verse 1 - D.C.] Every time I stepped onto my high school Same girls, same dudes, same drama never ending, and it was not cool I seen girls walking out the door with they skin showing and they skirts flowing, letting everybody know they legs open And guys be lusting after them, whistling at them for what they was exposing I seen breakup after breakup, make up after make up just to break up Now the game girls walkin' around with a bunch of makeup Hoping to catch some dude's eye, tryna draw they attention And usually the type of dudes that see are the ones that's always in detention It's hard to watch these girls that be unfulfilled If they ain't got no boyfriend that they can touch and can feel And it's hard to watch these men go for chicks that look nice But inside they heart of hearts you'll find they colder than ice So that's why I'm striving to be the best man, I ain't out here just to get sex man Or else nothing I do would ever separate me from the next man And I know this life is hard and it's tough, and you tryin' not to give up In this world full of stones I wanna be the diamond in the rough [Chorus - Lea Guardado] Why do we try so hard To feel something to make believe that we're happy? Why do we try so hard To be perfect or accepted? We're all diamonds in the rough [Verse 2 - Lea Guardado] I remember one morning Thought that I was alright Woke up trying to forget this And get you out of my mind I been through breakup and makeup, dying inside Searching for something to get me through the night Wondering where we went wrong and how I lost this fight Tell me now baby Why'd you do me like this? Why'd you do me like this? Gotta try and fix myself so I tell myself you're alright You're just fine Yeah don't cry I'm stronger now, I'm moving on with my life [Chorus - Lea Guardado] Why do we try so hard To feel something to make believe that we're happy? Why do we try so hard To be perfect or accepted? We're all diamonds in the rough [Verse 3 - D.C.] I remember this girl back in high school that I was talking to And it was hard for me 'cause I would see that she would just get used They played on her insecurities and they used her like a tool And it was on to the next one after they broke her heart in two There was nothing I could do but let her go, and everybody else told me "she's a hoe" But I knew what they could never know, she'd been hurt so many times before And it's the story of a lot of different girls, oh so many around the world So I had to get up on this track and spit this song about the pearls And in a world full of girls a woman is so hard to find Who doesn't have to show her skin but we still know that she fine And in a world full of boys it's just so hard to be men When everyone around you thinks they are but all they do is pretend And most cats are looking for love in all the wrong places And looking for trust in all the wrong faces And this life is hard and it's tough, but keep trying, don't give up Put your faith in Christ, he can help you find your diamond in the rough [Chorus - Lea Guardado] Why do we try so hard To feel something to make believe that we're happy? Why do we try so hard To be perfect or accepted? We're all diamonds in the rough
