Pressure Makes Diamonds
I come from a place where nobody gon' play fair
Love turn to hate, you become what they ain't, yeah
Is the money worth the pain? Take the losses but gain
Fresh chain but the money stay the same, yeah
Rapping and trapping, we balancing
Pressure make diamonds, not panicking
It's hard work when you work hard and you're talented
All the love turn to hate, you gotta balance it
Tell 'em go buy some suits and get some hearses ready
Cah we're cruising through the streets like some mercenaries
Every track I'm on, you've gotta pour some Henny
Back when I was taking years like the more the merrier
I came home and made it out but that ain't ordinary
And all this money and this fame's getting ordinarier
My nan died, alhamdulilah I could afford to bury her
When Reece died, I cried all night, I woke my celly up
Nightmares from this cocaine, you changed when the dough came
I'm back on my new shit, I'm rich off my old pain
I'm reaching for the stars till the tip of my toes break
I'm bout to go harder, I'm just praying you don't hate
And they gon' love you for their own sake
I was selling crack in the cold till my bones ache
Twenty-four seven, three-six-five, no breaks
The drug squad had me on a tour with no dates
I come from a place where nobody gon' play fair
Love turn to hate, you become what they ain't, yeah
Is the money worth the pain? Take the losses but gain
Fresh chain but the money stay the same, yeah
Rapping and trapping, we balancing
Pressure make diamonds, not panicking
It's hard work when you work hard and you're talented
All the love turn to hate, you gotta balance it
On the road of life without the power steering
The second that you slip, you hear the cowards cheering
Guard my soul, I can't allow the fear in
It's too cold outside, I feel like Ed Sheeran
Angels fly around me, on my head they got a bounty
I got brothers doing life and I got homies in the county
I got close friends switching, never cease to astound me
Say it's godly to forgive 'em but my heart won't allow me
I'm in these banks like a townie, I been making deposits
The lifestyle that I'm living created hatred and gossip
Die about it, ain't a dollar you could take from my pocket
Tied in with TEC's and shooters, we in Houston with rockets
I play the post like Olajuwon, sliding with this firearm
Tell me where you wanna take it, match whatever vibe you on
And I'm shooting till my rivals gone
Tryna take my pain away, them Perky's take my body home
I come from a place where nobody gon' play fair
Love turn to hate, you become what they ain't, yeah
Is the money worth the pain? Take the losses but gain
Fresh chain but the money stay the same, yeah
Rapping and trapping, we balancing
Pressure make diamonds, not panicking
It's hard work when you work hard and you're talented
All the love turn to hate, you gotta balance it
