Black diamonds and pearls
Black diamonds and pearls
(Black diamonds and pearls)
Keep on keep goin march on move on
Keep blowin it up
Keep on keep goin march on move on
Stay strong keep goin keep blowin it up
(Black diamonds and pearls)
Keep on keep goin march on move on
Keep blowin it up yeah
Blowin it up yeah
Young leaders little unsung heroes
You can run some meters be a hoop or a track star
School teacher scientist or even
Own your very own street maybe even be a rap star
Times witcha you could change whole pictures
Make a better situation for your mother and yo big mama
Make dollars own a ride and a house
Get it right use your powers getting everything you did want
Then the youth say Look at where Im at now
Straight poverty death is in my backyard
D**e dealers get fifty Gs a pack
While my teacher dont really give a damn about a black child
And the grown folks say tell the truth then act fowl
Say no to drugs hidin all they crack vials
And talk all about peace and love and God
But then why are we at war killin people in Iraq now
(Black diamonds and pearls)
Keep on keep goin march on move on
Keep blowin it up
Keep on keep goin march on move on
Stay strong keep goin keep blowin it up
(Black diamonds and pearls)
Keep on keep goin march on move on
Keep blowin it up yeah
Blowin it up yeah
Young sista had a child still young herself now
And its others all around screamin turmoil
Aint done wit school how are you gonna make it now
Life is gonna be a little harder for you girl
Some how she sees the face of a child
And on her face is a smile and now its brighter up in her world
And makes her stronger now shes gotta carry on
And be a very good mama this is life let it unfurl
And shes doin it mother of the earth now
Found a blessin in the struggle through her first child
Kept goin kept growin kept flowin
Kept strivin kept knowin God would make a way somehow
Live yo life girl show em how its done now
I believe in you so keep it movin til the suns down
Never let them hold you back from anything you want now
Life is but a ride so find the treasures that are unfound
(Black diamonds and pearls)

Keep blowin it up yeah
Blowin it up yeah
Young brotha takin care of his mother
Makin bread gotta hustle cause the tables lookin thin now
Stress ridden as he walks his little sister
To her preschool which is up the road just a few miles
Back at the house his mom seeks magic
Through the pipe smoke travelin through her lungs out and back down
Worst part that breaks the young mans heart
Is hes the one thats supplyin it he feels like hes trapped now
Cause every time he says no then shell spaz out
Start shakin mama please where is dad now
Guess hes gotta be the homes only man now
Left the life alone and gotta whole other plan now
Stacked enough to put her in a rehab found
Work and got a G E D his sisters in his hands now
And with support from other members in the fam
Gonna make it out this struggle young people
Heres your chance come on
(Black diamonds and pearls)
Keep on keep goin march on move on
Keep blowin it up
Keep on keep goin march on move on
Stay strong keep goin keep blowin it up

Keep on keep goin march on move on
Keep blowin it up yeah

Black diamonds and pearls
Black diamonds and pearls
