diligence

My rehearsals last for hours and hours

With diligence I have been blessed

Some people they call me monster

Pridin' myself on all of my patience (patience)

Pridin' myself on all of my diligence

Pridin' myself on all of my curiosity

Tongue roll, call cadence, hear the school bell ring

This vagina mine, teach ya patient diligence

Keep the chain gang swinging, make a cat-bird sing

Pursue happiness with diligence

Ah-ah

On some real shit, it took a long time for me just to feel this

Working overtime, faking like we're fine, showing diligence

Acting like you're hard, but you're still a bitch (still a bitch)

This is where our diligence has lead

The waves roll in to claim our patient steps

Empathy and violence

Reconciled under your austere diligence

How can you see yourself

Scooped up a cool two million

Did my due diligence

Takes a village to raise a kid, but still could produce an idiot (Dummy)

Locked inside a holy war

Your love and my due diligence

The only thing worth fighting for

Get the best of him

This city feels low against the gleam and the glow of his diligence

To their elegance
