Life is more than diamonds and pearls

Slowly the world around me fades.
Even in a crowd, I'm still in my own head.
I go along my days with feelings unsaid.
Everyone's so busy.
Hustle and go.
All they really care about is making that "doe".
Can't even stop to bid the time of the day,
Even if it's just to say hello.
What the fuck is wrong with humanity?
Man, excuse my profanity.
But it's like we've become so obsessed with this disease call vanity.
Cold hearts and dead ass conversations.
"Get money,fuck bitches"
Is the new aspiration.
Jordans and popularity
Is the forefront priority.
And if you think differently,
Then you're just a basic bitch....."apparently"
"Oh you're the boring type"...." nah I was just raised up right"
I just care about what is happening in this world. Life ain't all about diamonds and pearls.
That homeless man around the corner begging for quarters,
Yeah, he stinks but that's somebody's father.
There's people who didn't wake up today.
Their families mourning, tormented by the cold reality
That their love ones ain't ever returning. There's still blatant racism.
BLACK people losing all optimism.
Brothers getting gunned down in the streets for no reason, like it's fucking hunting season.
My heart goes out to the women being abused behind close doors.
Don't listen to him when he calls you a whore, baby girl believe me you are so much more.
This world turning people so cold. So many sad stories untold.
Believe what you're told.
Life ain't worth selling your soul.
