Dyemond Lewis - GroundWork lyrics

[Intro] You skipping that groundwork Dyemond is used to the hardwork This is the wave your b**h surf Cause she would rather take my word You just be making it awkward I pay them no mind and move- [Verse 1] You skipping that groundwork Dyemond is used to the hard work This is the wave your b**h surf Cause she would rather take my word You just be making it awkward I pay them no mind and move forward I could've made it to Harvard But I'm focusing on making a hard verse I been in the basement with the rats and roaches mixing potions, alchemy They out for me I stay high like balconies Uh, I do this effortless You do this so bashfully I shine bright I'm serious, brightest star in the galaxy Skipped school but I deserve credit Creativity is embedded I just get it done, you just don't get it Life's a whip with hydraulics, full of ups and downs but no exit Mom dreaded the fact that I was dreaded Wouldn't change a thing if I could edit Streets ain't safe, I keep the blade in my shawty's purse Plus I heard the cops are shooting long-haired n***as first Them n***as tried to rob me and some cops tried to stop me, all within the same hour If I don't got me who got me? I got my back like I got yours but I still know that you're not me I know that you're not me Do it too sloppy, I know that you not me [Hook] Whippin' that groundwork Whippin' that, whippin' that groundwork Whippin' that groundwork Whippin' that, whippin' that groundwork [Verse 2] You still skipping that groundwork I had to hit the ground first I'm building from ground up No serpents around us, nah I leave the past where it belongs I write down my wrongs blood ink pen now let that sink in Man my thoughts be sporadic, what the f** he thinkin'? I been in the deep end, so I know not to depend On anybody, they need that hot sh**, they heat seekin' So keep them eyes locked, you need more Dyemond when these gems drop Heaven gates is my next stop Planet Earth is my rest stop I'm enjoying the drama the beautiful women the wonderful come-up The start of the saga, they sleeping on Dyemond That's like going outside in pajamas I pray to the Lord, we get connected on our own accord Get connected on our own accord Empty barrels make the most noise 'Cuz they hold no weight, that's an inner void So heads up phones down, king Don't drop that crown, king King's County right around the corner so bow down and lay down, king This is how that sh** sounds when you let an enraged caged bird sing King [Outro] Whippin' that groundwork Skippin' that Whippin' that, whippin' that groundwork Skippin' that groundwork Whippin' that groundwork Skippin' that Whippin' that, whippin' that groundwork Skippin' that groundwork You skippin' that groundwork Skippin' that, skippin' that groundwork
