Pressure Makes Diamonds

Either I'm too thin

I got a breakout on my skin

It makes me breakdown, lose my shit

I see myself, I wanna quit

Either I'm a slut

I got with way too many men

If I'm not sleeping with the guy I'm hanging with

I must be a virgin

Everybody ask me when I'll settle down & marry

Get a house out in the country

Have a baby, well I'm sorry

I'm just tryna make it through the bullshit flying at me

Turn it into something catchy

And then make it into money

Kinda tired, but I'm trying

Kinda done with the fighting

I got the heart of a lion

And pressure makes diamonds

I know the things that I'm wanting

So I'ma work till the morning

I got the heart of a lion

And pressure makes diamonds

Every year I'm older

I just keep on getting closer

To my career being over

'Cause my sex appeal is lower

And I, I know I'm not a rich girl

My dad weren't famous in the 80s

Oh, but I don't let it phase me, yeah

I'll just keep on swimming through the patriarchal system

Kick them down with my ambition

Yeah, I do it on the daily

I'm just tryna make it through the bullshit flying at me

Turn it into something catchy

And then make it into money

Kinda tired, but I'm trying

Kinda done with the fighting

I got the heart of a lion

And pressure makes diamonds

I know the things that I'm wanting

So I'ma work till the morning

I got the heart of a lion

And pressure makes diamonds

Pressure makes diamonds

Pressure makes diamonds, oh

Pressure makes diamonds

And pressure makes diamonds

Pressure makes diamonds

Pressure makes diamonds, oh

Pressure makes diamonds

And pressure makes diamonds

Kinda tired, but I'm trying

Kinda done with the fighting

I got the heart of a lion

And pressure makes diamonds

I know the things that I'm wanting

So I'ma work till the morning

I got the heart of a lion

And pressure makes diamonds
