All These Gems Precious to Me

[Chorus]
I ain't never had room to waste no spare time
All these gems precious to me, they all mine
Will there ever be peace on the streets? That's hard to find
Inflicted with the mark of the beast, that's hard times
I ain't never had room to waste no spare time
All these gems precious to me, they all mine
Will there ever be peace on the streets? That's hard to find
Inflicted with the mark of the beast, that's hard times (Uh)

[Verse 1]
One of my closest people turned they back on me
So what that tell you 'bout life? Trust nobody
When greed runs through the veins of thugs, politicians and blood
And the remains of drugs resultin' in a flood
I'll talk less and listen more, prepare for all the drama
I'll be wherever the [?], earnin' another comma
Respect comes when you earn it
The way you carry yourself matters, uh
I got a message and I wrote it in blood splatter
Fahim on the throne, and I ain't comin' off it
If you was on the throne, it'll prob'ly be the opposite
I build like a metropolis while survivin' this gauntlet
Lock it like a locksmith, whatever I pick, I pocket it
It's not a game if I'm playin', this ain't a rock band
If you don't understand what I'm sayin', you boys not playin'

[Chorus]
I ain't never had room to waste no spare time
All these gems precious to me, they all mine
Will there ever be peace in the streets? That's hard to find
Inflicted with the mark of the beast, that's hard times
I ain't never had room to waste no spare time
All these gems precious to me, they all mine
Will there ever be peace in the streets? That's hard to find
Inflicted with the mark of the beast, that's hard times

[Verse 2]
The first is first, and the last is last
So raise the purse, let's make it last and laugh
They tried to laugh at my past, but it passed, they mad
'Cause every time I rhyme, it's a masterclass
Now how he rhyme that?
Soon as I touch down, won't give a line back
'Cause everybody and they mama know I got the bomb pack
Your source, I can't cosign that
My flow so cold, mics freeze up on contact
And that's with no contact
It's safe to say I got it locked, and that's with no contract
The ladder of success, it's 'bout time that we climbed that
