In the jungle trying to be king,
They say the best things in life are free,
Love happiness and destiny,
So why are they so hard to see?
In the absence of shiny things,
It’s the stars from a far that preach bling bling,
In the car the bar jewelry ridiculous explicit lives without consequences, Malicious world so materialistic,
It’s our minds that must get lifted,
Indicted, free from contradiction,
Still no smiles without expenses
I said I’d try still optimistic,
When we die I’m predicting ashes to ashes and dust to dust,
Diamonds are forever forever,
That’s realistic.
