D & G
Machine Gun Kelly feat. Sean McGee Lyrics

Tryna figure out my dreams
I am striving to understand and pursue my aspirations

Cuz I don't really feel like dreaming anymore
Because I have lost my enthusiasm for dreaming

I can't even lie I want the diamonds and gold
Honestly, I desire wealth and success in the form of diamonds and gold

Diamonds and gold, x16
Repeatedly emphasizing the desire for diamonds and gold

Uh, stories of a Prima donna
Narratives of someone feeling entitled and demanding special treatment

But when your broke that dream is common
However, when you are financially struggling, that dream is typical

Where I’m from we don’t see designer
In my hometown, luxury brands are not prevalent

Where I’m from we just see dishonor
In my community, we primarily encounter disgrace and shame

Where I’m from I don’t see my momma
In my upbringing, I do not have my mother present

That bitch left me like Halley's Comet
My mother abandoned me like the rare occurrence of Halley's Comet

Can't look in my daddy's face
I cannot face my father

The street's came in and took his place
The influence of the streets replaced my father's role

Sometimes I don't wanna wake up
There are moments when I do not want to face reality

Can't see past my bitches make-up
I am unable to see beyond the superficial appearance of women

I heard that boy done sold his soul
I heard rumors that a person compromised their integrity

For the price of them diamonds and gold
In exchange for material riches

It’s hard to dream when
It is challenging to have aspirations when

You ain't sleepin right
You are not getting proper rest

My fuckin nostrils look like poltergeists
My heavily used nostrils resemble ghostly spirits

I miss going to rock at
I long for the times when I used to perform at

Open mic's hoping that I
Open mic events, hoping that I

Got noticed by labels and blow up over night
Would be recognized by record labels and achieve instant success

Never happened but passion led
Although it never occurred, my passion guided

Me like Holy Christ
Me, just like a religious figure

Good intentions just Breaking Bad
My good intentions turned into something negative, like in the TV show "Breaking Bad"

Like I’m Walter White
Similar to the character Walter White in "Breaking Bad"

I owe my life to my own advice
I attribute my survival and success to my own guidance

"follow your muthafuckin dreams until those
"pursue your goddamn aspirations until those

Visions come to life"
Your visions become a reality"

Till those diamonds glisten in the light
Until those diamonds shine brightly

Remember they wouldn't listen to us right?
Remember that others did not pay attention to us, right?

But I never had to sell my soul
However, I never had to compromise my integrity

To earn my right to these diamonds and gold
To achieve the entitlement to possess these diamonds and gold
