Hey, you looking over there I got something to show you if you got the time to spare The quality's the highest and the price is very fair It's honestly the nicest thing that I have ever shared You look like the type that likes a diamond in his ear To walk around the town and be so shiny and revered Come across his boss and be so timely and prepared Look like a million dollars off of signing with the Bears I don't mean to be so deeply inside of your affairs But if I likеd getting ripped off, then I'd bе over there But that's why I'm over here, with that you should beware I'm only saying this because I really, really care I think it's more a temple, not a stall But, no, not a religion, not at all I know it's kind of simple and it's small But that's 'cause it's the middle of the mall If you wanna show off and just ball Or your intention is the drawers We got credentials for it all Welcome to the middle of the mall You ain't got a budget for these nuggets You can keep it Plain Jane or blow out they brains when you in public The matching ring, chain gon' look insane when you untuck it They'll never know the difference, even if you let 'em touch it SongtexteNow if you are a rapper or a trapper on the job It don't really matter if you get jacked or you get robbed You can go on, let 'em have it, it's not a factor or a prob' Only thing that's gonna happen, you gon' get attacked by all the blogs But to regular people you gon' be sharp And you gon' be so attractive on the block Now, it might make you a magnet for the cops But please don't let them haters try and drag you from the top You ain't gotta be a criminal involved Know how to rap or knack for dribbling the ball Or be a prince or an emperor at all Everybody's equal in the middle of the mall We are not the center of applause But secretly the center of the cause This is where the finishers evolve In the middle of the malls Diamonds only worth what you are willing to pay A deceptive game you are killing to play Now I have diamonds, it's odd feeling this way But when they start to sparkle that star-glittering glaze It sways, takes your mind off todays Where preachers can praise AIDS as God killing the gays What a fucking phrase, never ceases to amaze But when he dies from cancer, that's God's mysterious ways Jesus saves African sold slaves Gabriel's in Afghanistan passing out AKs It's a rage The diamond sometimes are suedes while putting 'em to the blade I have hesitations There, I've put it all on the table, I have my reservations Besides, we'll find something else useless to put our faith in You won't finish this here, we'll pick up after meditation, uh-huh Uh-huh Uh-huh It seems you've got the spirit of the appalled And you've got the lyrics and the draw I know some people would love to hear it how you call You should join us in the middle of the mall I'm cool, man, I've got a watch already Well, excuse me Aus Songtexte Mania
