Buired Diamonds (Intro) ft. Lb the Poet Lyrics

By any definition, joining us now as you can see there's rocks and bottles

And you can see tear gas canisters being fired

There are reports of gunshots also being fired

Uh, and there is a dispersing of the crowd, the police are moved in

That's right, Roger, you can see there's a lot of unhappy people here

Couple hundred demonstrators have gathered here holding up signs that say, "Black Lives Matter"

Now, once that decision was made, somebody actually got up on a bullhorn and Announced it to the crowd

The uh, the crowd then, uh, started marching

They're on the march as we speak

We believe they're marching towards the police department, chanting, "No Justice, no Peace" (Peace)

How can they treat us as if we're anything less than them?

Lives being taken

Lord, why does it seem that your people have been forsaken?

Obviously, the statement, "Land of the free", has been mistaken

You don't see the elegance of these beautiful stones until they are laying on the Examination table

They have been buried away from society

Poverty, striated passion for pain begins to rise in me

They tell me that my life matters and honestly sounds like that is another lie to me

But there is a light that is alive in me

For my people, my precious people, allow me to teach you how to survive and lead

It hurts to see my people lives, revived to bleed

This is the pain that I can't just let go

Buried diamond, now, blood diamond

The mass beauty of our people is the one thing we need to let show

Why I choose to remain buried
