It’s the evolution – Gold Platinum to Diamond
The revolution – Gold Platinum to Diamond
The ghetto’s moving – Gold Platinum to Diamond
This our resolution - Gold Platinum to Diamond
It’s the evolution – Gold Platinum to Diamond
The revolution – Gold Platinum to Diamond
The ghetto’s moving – Gold Platinum to Diamond
This our resolution - Gold Platinum to Diamond
It started out with sweating slave bleeding out our agriculture
Picking cotton fat pockets for Caucasian male nigger owners
Then we marched for better days slaves became better soldiers
Ghettos turned battlefields and our game became colder
What’s the future – untold the computer’s the controller
I refuse to fold stumble get rolled or roll over
And I ain’t trying to preach so don’t give me the cold shoulder man
Just think of me as the eye of the beholder fam
I’ll skip the wood bronze and the silver that shit was over when
Malcolm got shot up and Martin’s final deliverance
Now it’s not black white yellow or Indian
Now it’s coke crack pipes money and ignorance
Funny how it ends one day and then begins again
Yea they took our freedom then and gave us religion
Now they take your freedoms away and promise dividends
A rich slave is only a slave without no diligence – and that’s

Another nigga on the corner still pushing that rock
Another bitch up in my sheets another day smoking pot
Another nigga on the block with work setting up shop
Another cop another drop another’s eyes on your knot
Another hustler scheming passing go with no stop
Another night in the winter when the spot is too hot
Another close one breathing – shit - you almost got knocked
Another nigga didn’t make it now he locked in the box
Another nigga died another born a mother is slain
Another crucified another lost another snort caine
Another alibi another law that keep us as slaves
Another failed to pass the test of life and now lives in grave
Another bitch is working strips a nigga pays for that brain
Another added to statistic list another found fame
Another tragic murder case they picture up in a frame
Another day another dollar but the game still the same – It’s the

No identity No past a home that doesn’t want us
No language no class that’s why they can control us
Non conformists reform us then put us on the corners
Law enforcement patrol us put burdens on our shoulders
Man they hate us we hate us yet they profit off our murders
They bring us the burners the drugs and things that hurt us
Then we rap about it and those heathens sell it for us
We dance to the sounds of self extinction on the chorus
But at the same time – distinction they imitate our colors
Walk and talk and dress just like us call themselves our brothers
It seems that they transformed themselves while trying to conform us
That’s how we went gold to platinum fuck the latter to the former
It’s like playing chutes and ladders we slide back while going forward
Just imagine going diamond it’ll be like a new world order
In the meantime teach your daughters –
And teach your sons not every argument has to turn into a slaughter
