VERSE: 1
I KNOW WHAT U THINKING
THEY FOLLOWIN ME
YEAH GIRL THEY FOLLOWING ME
I GUESS I SHOULD BEND MY WRIST UP
CAUSE A ni**a BALLING SLIGHTLY
YEAH IM BALLING SLIGHTLY
BUT WHAT THE fu*k DOES IT MEAN
IF U AINT WITH ME
NAH U AINT WHIT ME
I BEEN WEARING THESE SHADES
CAUSE I BEEN DRUNK LATELY
SO DRUNK AS OF LATELY
THEY WONDERING IF IM LOOSING IT
YEAH
I GUESS I BEEN GOING INSANE LATELY
U IN MY PICTURE SETS
THINKING LIKE DAMN
IT WAS JUST LAST WEEK WE MET
HAD A HELLA NIGHT
IM TALKING GOOD AS SEX
NOW WE NEVER TALK
IM TALKING FROM THE THOUGHTS OF A MAN SO VEXED
YEAH IM FEELING SO VEXED
CHORUS
WHAT GLITTER AINT ALWAYS GOLD
IT DON'T MEAN IT'S PEARLS
JUST CAUSE IT COME OUT LIKE SNOW
THE THINGS WE FOLLOW IN THIS WORLD
JUST DRAG US BELOW
BUT WHAT WOULD U RATHER HAVE
DIAMONDS OR PEARLS
I NEED TO KNOW
VERSE: 2
IM JUST A MAN
CHASING AFTER THE CHEDDAR
FETA LUCRATIVE
BUT I LOVE A WOMAN WITH A MIND THATS CLEVER
BUT PLZ EXCUSE ME
I RARELY BACK DOWN EVER
NEVER LET THESE GREEDY BRAUDS WALK OVER ME
IM THINK TAKE OFF
LIFT THE GEARS UP
BABY IM OVER THE SCENE
OVER THE DRAMA
U CAN'T HANDLE TRUTH
UR PAST GOT U STUCK IN FUTURE TRAUMA
AND IT'S TIME TO CHANGE THE REGIME
CAUSE WHAT HAPPENS WHEN A DIAMOND EXPIRES
AND FALLS TO EARTH
DURING SUCH A COLD HEARTED CLIMATE
THE LOVE TURNS TO ASH
THE JOYS BECOME A THING OF THE PAST
AS I SEE YOUR SHADOW IN THE SCENT OF THAT CHICK WHO JUST WALKED PAST
I PUSH THE SHADES UP
AND SLIDE OFF LIKE WATER PADS
CHORUS
WHAT GLITTER AINT ALWAYS GOLD
IT DON'T MEAN IT'S PEARLS
JUST CAUSE IT COME OUT LIKE SNOW
THE THINGS WE FOLLOW IN THIS WORLD
JUST DRAG US BELOW
BUT WHAT WOULD U RATHER HAVE
DIAMONDS OR PEARLS
I NEED TO KNOW
VERSE: 3
WHATS UR ADDICTION
U BE THE SHINE OF MY LIFE
BUT THRU THE CONVICTION
I TAKE THOSE WOMBS U INFLICTED TO KICK IT
JUST TO BE DISSED
U STARTED OFF A RUBY IN MY EYE SIGHTS
BECAME A DIAMOND OVER NIGHT
NOW IM STUCK IN UR BS
AND ITS OBVIOUS
WE CAN'T COEXIST
BUT LIKE MY ni**a N THE BX
NEVER TRUST IN HOES
CAUSE A SMILE IS A FALSE TRUTH WITH LOWS
MOTIVES
BUT DOORS CLOSED
AS I RIDE THE SINGLE WAVE
NEVER CARING OR SOLD
JUST AMAZED AT THE DIFFERENT BODIES I CROSS ON A NIGHTLY BASIS THOUGH
SOMETIMES THE UNTOUCHABLE LIFE GROWS OLD
CHORUS
WHAT GLITTER AINT ALWAYS GOLD
IT DON'T MEAN IT'S PEARLS
JUST CAUSE IT COME OUT LIKE SNOW
THE THINGS WE FOLLOW IN THIS WORLD
JUST DRAG US BELOW
BUT WHAT WOULD U RATHER HAVE
DIAMONDS OR PEARLS
I NEED TO KNOW
