Jalopy Bungus - Diamonds (Official Visualizer)

It goes without saying that Shelter In Place - A Future Classic Compilation arose from the current times and COVID-19 pandemic. As creatives now wonder about their future livelihoods, the compilation provides a group of rising stars a chance to exhibit their talents. Themes of restlessness, isolation, and hope permeate the seven films, which reflect the emotional impact of self isolation and the ways we can turn to artistic expression to escape them. Future Classic will be donating the first month of proceeds from the release to the Heartland Alliance which helps the most marginalized and vulnerable communities affected by the pandemic.

Lyrics:
It be nights I think my mind sick ,judge tryna turn me to a convict ,
Only thing guilty is my conscious ,
Keep the M&P a couple feet away from where I see the monsters
Ion need ya say so , ion need ya sponsor
If you ain’t tryna kill me when you see me it ain’t beef ,
Tryna flip a comma, smile and see the chicken in my teeth
Got a tripped planned for Canada , I gotta beat the felony clean
Cause I ain’t gucci , drake ain’t pullin no strings

This the life of somebody tryna change it
Narratives get painted , stare at em a different angle ,
Re arrange it , no matter how u look it never changes
Wouldn’t be surprised if they made us build the slave ship
Worry bout who Sellin it but not the ones cookin it
World so crooked gotta tilt ya head to look it
A lot of niggas moms was a swallower
Lotta niggas daddies was some followers
If my unc survived the head shot he’d be a cripple nigga
That’s a whole different meaning of a role model uh
Light weight Ion ever hit the whole bottle up
Cheat code for writin raps I really gotta stop it huh

60,000 niggas think I’m poppin now
Believe what you want nigga,
No way , I ain’t made it till I got my win place ,
Need my own space to get my soul straight ,

I've been riding around with the top down thinking bout what it takes
to be at the top while everyone sees what what they see
and expects nothing less and everything from you
but you do what you got to do
what is life when you do what you got to do

We living in some stressful times/
And some might say we witnessing the end of times/
To live or die, my mental cries, the end is nigh/
And I know it ain’t just my friends, but also the tensions high
Plus the message they send to control the youth/
Has also resulted in stolen youth/
And you know it’s true/
Ima poet flowing off the rum soon as I pour it too/
And the homie gone be rolling through/
Just to smoke a few/blunts for the pain
When push came to shove
I’ve shown you proof/
My case in point is deeper than a bullet wound/
I keep it pushing despite what I’m going though/
Keep it pushing, never let the devil grab ahold of you/
But how many of you are really wanting to know the truth?/
Honestly, my older shoes got more soul than you/ I roll my sleeves and proceed to control the room/
But don’t hold my weed if you ain’t smoking dude/ You know the mood/
You down to roll with me that’s something Ima hold you to/
Loyalty is rare, don’t nobody care
to hold you down like he suppose to do/
So make sure you always keep God close to you
