Dust and Diamonds

Truth is concealed in the places where blind men judge,
Hands in the dirt, but our destinies won't just budge.
We are surviving the shadows of concrete beasts,
Life is an ocean, and we're looking for our peace.
Heavy raindrops wash the sins of the block away,
How many talents did the system destroy today?
I lift my eyes to these heavy and stormy clouds,
Those at the bottom must rise up and make us proud.


Tears of our mothers are falling on solid stone,
Souls are on fire, but the will is a mighty bone.
And we are walking through thorns and through constant threats,
Turning these tears into rubies with no regrets.

Припев
Dust and the diamonds — we're kids from the same old hood!
Every step is a gamble, we stand where the fallen stood.
Up from the dirt, through the darkness we bring our light,
Born from deception, our answer will end the night.
Dust and the diamonds! A beauty that they can't see.
Where others find only fear and an empty street.


Cold in the eyes of the ones who have sold their dream,
I use my verses to tear up this quiet scene.
All of their promises — wind and an empty phrase,
But under pressure the diamonds begin to blaze.
Brothers depart to the places of no return,
Every day is a battle, where bridges burn.
Look in my eyes, you will witness the sparks of war,
Screaming my prayers to heaven, I ask for more.


Shining right out of the darkness is our only chance.
System was trying to break us, but we advance.
Cutting is brutal, but stone's getting harder now,
Nobody helps us, but we will survive somehow.

Припев
Dust and the diamonds — we're kids from the same old hood!
Every step is a gamble, we stand where the fallen stood.
Up from the dirt, through the darkness we bring our light,
Born from deception, our answer will end the night.
Dust and the diamonds! A beauty that they can't see.
Where others find only fear and an empty street.


Just the dust... and the diamonds...
Shine through the dark.
