Songtexte

She grew up in Brooklyn She grew up in Harlem She grew up in Bronx She knows she was a queen She lived in Queens She don't really care She don't really care She want them diamonds in her ear Diamonds in the air She lived in Somalia Her parents from Egypt She was a queen in Cairo She don't really care She don't really care She want them diamonds in her ear Diamonds in the air She picking all the wrong ones As she looking for the right one In the wrong place You remember her face The prettiest face, the prettiest face She looking for fulfillment You would think she was looking for love Searching for love She just looking to be taken care of You could find her in Harlem, or Brooklyn You could find her in Brixton, or Kingston She's a queen Know what I mean She think she want a baby And she do it with the wrong one 'Cause she looking for something But he don't really care He don't really care And life just isn't fair She grew up in Brooklyn She grew up in Harlem She grew up in Bronx She knows she was a queen She lived in Queens She don't really care She don't really care She want them diamonds in her ear Diamonds in the air She lived in Somalia (talk about it) Her parents from Egypt She was a queen in Cairo (she's a queen) She don't really care She don't really care She want them diamonds in her ear Diamonds in the air Brooklyn, yeah You think she loves you, but she don't You got to wake up, open your eyes See the way it really is Brooklyn, New York, the Bronx (Harlem baby) New York (Brooklyn baby) New York (The city) You think she loves you She take you for everything you got You gotta remember that (The Big Apple) New York City Brooklyn, Harlem, the Bronx Gotta wake up, brother Wake up, wake up, wake up Open up your eyes Realize the truth, watch your step Brother, watch your step, brother Move it to the left, move it to the right Outta sight Better go home New York City, watch it It's the truth, it's the damn truth It's the live truth, the live truth, yeah It's where the life, yeah All along I've ignored what I've always known That the chair I been sitting on is a throne Perfection kneels at the seed of my soul Tell the truth, it can't get no better Swear to life, it can't get no better, oooh no By the way, I been meaning to thank you By the way, I been meaning to thank you all along One love, one love, one love, one love One love, one love, one love, one love One love, one love, one love, one love One love, one love, one love, one love All along I was hoping understanding would be born I was looking for knowledge to sing my song But now I know that I am wisdom on my own Tell the truth, it can't get no better Swear to life, it can't get no better, oh no By the way, I been meaning to thank you By the way, I been meaning to thank you all along One love, one love, one love, one love One love, one love, one love, one love One love, one love, one love, one love One love, one love, one love, one love
