Diamonds

Shine bright like a diamond Shine bright like a diamond Shine bright like a diamond Shine bright like a diamond I turn my dark secrets into bright ideas I used to cry for help,I learned to wipe my tears I was scared to embrace,but now I fight my fears These hoes say I'm too much,its only right I share Pressure makes diamonds,I was made to shine When life gave me lemons,I made lemonade with mines What's beef? Beef is when you make mistakes Like less burgers with ya buddies and more steaks for snakes My story just gets better,when you get to the end So when I'm at my worst,I know its not the end I came from the dirt,made the cut and blew So when you put me in that right light What I do? Shine bright like a diamond Shine bright like a diamond Shine bright like a diamond Shine bright like a diamond I'm shining religiously,Jesus pieces and crosses I paid for all of my toys,I don't owe any Santa Clauses I never finished school or completed no college courses Was taught to be a winner but I learned more from my loses Loses like,when you go is your friends gon' miss you Was it cause you beneficial or you been official? Condo at the top,one floor down from Heaven yo Hating is beneath me,I say that's the devil yo I'm tryna keep the faith,hanging in with hope Went to my jeweler,brought myself two angels on the ropes I came from the dirt,made the cut and blew So when you put me in that right light What I do? Shine bright like a diamond Shine bright like a diamond Shine bright like a diamond Shine bright like a diamond Could say I always was the truth but that be lying a little You can't spell believe without a "lie" in the middle I always say it first,niggas trying to diddle But I got bigger shit to do,than to try and Belittle Mind of a general,heart of a solider That just mean I call the shots,but ain't afraid to take the shots Niggas gave it all they got,still couldn't take my spot Don't get ya shorty got,and have to live out takens plot I ain't give a fuck,now I would give whatever You only live once,but legacies live forever I came from the dirt,made the cut and blew So when you put me in that right light What I do? Shine bright like a diamond Shine bright like a diamond Shine bright like a diamond Shine bright like a diamond
