Diamonds Lyrics

Everything feels real again

A nigga is finally out of his head

A nigga is ready to speak again

Despite this dystopia created through constant dread

Studious, relentlessly courteous Myself again

Phoenix rising from the dust

Feels like my life was reset

To a preset of me at four

Only difference is I'm a grown man now

Relearning learning that each level of life has a new fucking door

And by my own accord, I'm chasing the money

I saw the fam again, flooding memories Came back to me, it's kinda funny

I started to remember my persona,

My being and all my dreams

I'm finally working on some new shit to make

Some money trees To make some money trees

I'm tryna get these diamonds

I'm just tryna make gold

I'm tryna get these diamonds

I gotta put in this work without sellin my soul

I'm tryna get these diamonds

I'm just tryna make gold

I'm tryna get these diamonds

I gotta put in this work without sellin' my soul

College funky, tryna get back up

A music-loving man, using talent to get bands

And some fans that demand an album and a single

And then I get some catches and I mingle

Tryna live comfortable, pay off these bills

Make a little extra so I'm sleeping on hills

Of diamonds and gold And then I get these checks and I fold em

Sign em', deposit, then I get a profit

The reality is, I'm poor

I barely got food in the fridge

And I stumbled in college so I almost fell off the ridge

But I'm slowly coming back stronger than before

And if you don't like that homie, well don't let me stop you There's the fucking door

Bruh, this isn't a game I don't got time to be entertaining you lames

I'm tryna get these diamonds I'm just tryna make gold

I'm tryna get these diamonds I gotta put in this work without sellin

My soul I'm tryna get these diamonds

I'm just tryna make gold I'm tryna get these diamonds

I gotta put in this work without sellin' my soul

But yeah man, that's me, that's what I do

This is my thing

But if you ask that man next to you

He's gonna complain and say I'm stealing his boo thing

Bruh, I'm focused on the music

I'm tryna do this thing to make you happy

As far as I can see, you lookin' kinda jealous

Cuz I speak the truth in bars as far as you can see

Over there, you just lookin' like a hater

I don't got time for that dumb ass shit

I'm tryna pay bills, not worry about them

Until later, roll a few blunts And then take a few hits

Lookin' to support my family

To make sure that they're in good health and good wealth

So you best believe that what I'm saying is true

I'm gonna pay off all these debts And I'm gonna pay off all these dues

But you just gonna run your mouth and say shit

That's gonna get the 12 after me

And then on the news the next morning they're gonna say that

A black man got killed by the heat

I'm tryna get these diamonds

I'm just tryna make gold

I'm tryna get these diamonds

I gotta put in this work without sellin' my soul

I'm tryna get these diamonds

I'm just tryna make gold

I'm tryna get these diamonds

I gotta put in this work without sellin' my soul

I'm tryna get these diamonds

I'm just tryna make gold

I'm tryna get these diamonds

I gotta put in this work without sellin' my soul

I'm tryna get these diamonds

I'm just tryna make gold

I'm tryna get these diamonds

I gotta put in this work without sellin' my soul
