Nocap Shackles To Diamonds

There’s much going on in the world of NBA Youngboy and his crew. In the midst of controversy and Youngboy’s continuous legal battles, they released their debut compilation, Never Broke Again: The Compilation Vol. 1, highlighting the talent coming out of the crew. However, the project also served as a stepping stone for some of the lesser-known artists on the roster to introduce themselves to the world.

NoCap has remained consistent throughout the past few years but it looks like he’s preparing to take things to new heights. Today, he shared his latest single, “Shackles To Diamonds” from his forthcoming project, Mr Crawford. The single arrived shortly after the release of “I’ll Be Here,” which you can also check out below.

Lyrics

[Intro]
(Al Geno on the track)

[Chorus]
I was havin’ bad dreams, way before the fame, way before the lean
Them youngins go cop .223s, and Jordan’s, until they matchin’
I turned them shackles to diamonds
I turned them shackles to diamonds

[Verse]
Your baby bang red like Santa Claus ’cause he ain’t used to gettin’ up for Christmas
I went to sleep broke so many times, now it’s fifty racks in my pillow
I took every drug just to deal with it, but I’m still missin’ my nigga
Sit at the house while I’m rollin’ loud, probably’ll take a hundred guns to Coachella
Bet shawty come back when I cheat ’cause she know the next nigga ain’t realer
How you gon’ come around, tryna seek fame, and I still can’t hide these tears
Too much money bring attention, I be wishin’ I was broke
The way a nigga livin’, I just pray I make it old
Told Rylo, “Get that paper, we’ll drop a mixtape later”
And go pack out arenas, the shit we used to dream of
Two hundred thousand on my neck, but don’t look wrong
‘Cause this that same shit a nigga lose they life for
They ain’t never tell a nigga ballin’ come with court dates
They ain’t never tell a nigga
They ain’t never tell me I’d lose all my teammates, but I need one more strip

[Chorus]
I was havin’ bad dreams, way before the fame, way before the lean
Them youngins go cop .223s, and Jordan’s, until they matchin’
I turned them shackles to diamonds
I turned them shackles to diamonds

[Outro]
They ain’t never tell a nigga ballin’ come with court dates
They ain’t never tell a nigga
