Diamond In The Rough

[Verse 1: Illmaculate and Sapient]
Aye, let me holler at you one second
I've been up all night
It's called life, when I move slow
It's alright, I never lost sight of my true goals
Exhale and seem smarter every other track
Swing harder every time I'm up to bat
Regardless, I'm a cunning cat
Respect my clean rep can never be tarnished by another man
Better sleep on it, come again?
(Why'd you brush away my grubby hand when I tried at that?)
Cause I can
Cocky prick, my confidence'll stay high
Talking's just part of the job and it pays fine
State wide, I'm on a mission to change lives
Bomb the system and be gone before the pain dries

[Hook: Sapient and Illmaculate]
There's a diamond in the rough
I just feel like they ain't found it yet
There's a diamond in the rough, nah
Worth more than any 'round ya neck, yea
There's a diamond in the rough
And if you can't see it, you're so dead wrong
There's a diamond in the rough
The most slept on, it's the North West y'all

[Verse 2: Sapient]
I ain't never gonna lose vision
My intuition is much too rigid
If the shoe's fittin', let's do business
I'm a mutant cross between human and musician
Crawling out the sewers with a staff sheet
Making a classy sculpture out of a trash heap
That's me
North West by Northwestern
There ain't no warm flesh in storm weather
It's no pressure, y'all are actors to me
Court jesters that dance for the king
False independence, the menace is a phantom unseen
Tricking y'all to act like rats for the cheese
That paper ain't blessed if it's deceitfully acquired
But fiends are fiends and my beats'll be the fire
Shit, not even an eagle's wings are flyer
I do evil deeds with the machinery required

[Hook]
There's a diamond in the rough
But I don't think they know it exists, nah
There's a diamond in the rough
Worth more than those that go on your wrists, yea
There's a diamond in the rough
And if you can see it, you're so dead on
There's a diamond in the rough
The most slept on, it's the North West y'all
