Two lives, I been caught in the middle
Teach 'em math but my heart got riddles
One side good, one side too sinful
But a king gon' reign, no cap, no symbol
Yeah, huh!
Chalk on my hands
But my pockets got diamonds
Daytime teach, but at night I'm the tyrant
Classroom quiet, but streets stay violent
I drop a lesson, then flood out the climate
White coat on but the wrist still frozen
Teachin' 'em laws while I move like a omen
Newton's three laws
Yeah, force in the moment
Pressure make diamonds
My hustle stay golden
They see the shine
They don't see what it cost me
I tell 'em be greater
Don't move how the boss be
Pressure make diamonds
But pressure exhaust me
Tryna stay clean, but the money still call me
School bell ring, then I'm back to the city
Drip so clean, got my stones lookin' pretty
Never touch glass, only VVS litty
Young Einstein, but my mind stay gritty
But I tell my kids, "Don't follow my past"
I ran through the fire, I ran through the glass
I took all the L's so you don't gotta crash
I learned how to build, so you don't gotta ask
Made it from nothing, I triple my worth
Ice in my veins, I was cold from the birth
Now I just shine while they watch from the dirt
King of this hustle, I been puttin' work
Trying to escape but I'm locked in the cycle
Blessed and I'm cursed, this the life of survival
One foot in light, one stuck in the shadow
Tell 'em take flight, I'm stuck in the battle
I break down lessons, I break down gems
Flippin' these stones but not like them
Ice on my wrist, but my heart still drenched
Tryna make peace, but my soul too tense
