Pressure Makes Diamonds

Verse 1

Came from the mud with the weight on my chest

Now I’m up, I ain’t settlin’ less

They was doubtin’, I took it as fuel

Now I’m playin’ the game, make the rules

I don’t fold, I don’t bend, I don’t break

Every risk that I took, I embraced

They want smoke but they fade when it’s real

I been built with a different type steel

Chorus

Pressure makes diamonds, I shine when it’s on

Turn nothin’ to somethin’, I knew it all along

No fear in my heart, I been ready for war

Now they see me go up, I can’t settle for more

Pressure makes diamonds, I’m cut from the grind

Every loss that I took put that fire inside

Now I’m up, no limits, no ceilings in sight

I was built for this moment, I’m takin’ my life

Verse 2

No handouts, I got it myself

Turned the pain into power and wealth

They was sleepin’, I stayed on attack

Now they watch every move that I stack

Tunnel vision, I don’t see the hate

I just level up, elevate

Every bar like a shot, no miss

I don’t talk, I exist like this

Bridge

Ain’t no brakes when I’m in my zone

Had to build everything on my own

Now they callin’, I don’t pick up

Same ones that ain’t show no love

Final Chorus (Extended)

Pressure makes diamonds, I shine when it’s on

Turn nothin’ to somethin’, I knew it all along

From the bottom I rose to the top of the climb

Now my name in the lights, yeah it’s finally my time
