Diamonds in the Water

Streams running down my eyes think I'm losing faith But God is always on time, no, he's never late This epidemic had my mind in another place Put some love in to the world let it marinate I was hoping for a chance, think I'm good enough Spent my twenties tryna rise, now it's looking up They said there's diamonds in the water, but we can't swim I see my brothers on the grind, pray we all win And to my sisters on the move tryna make P's Don't let nobody tell you nothing on your way please It'll be a minute 'fore they change or they break me This ain't the perfect picture we was tryna make cheese Life's short, don't stress what you can't change Best be looking to the next, let the past fade It's the time to make a move, don't be half late We was moving through the stress, we was blasé Never thought we'd have to move through the backstreets Backtracking through the flames, it's a sad scene Keep it moving through the pain for this rap dream Drowning in the tide, let a man breathe Diamonds in the water Got me swimming in the stream They said there's diamonds in the water But nothing's ever as it seems Baptise me in the water I just wanna be free They said there's diamonds in the water But nothing's ever as it seems I pray you never lose your way I know this journey might be long Diamonds in the water they was tryna give you crumbs Life's a little harder when you're coming from the slums Everybody winning got me thinking when I'm on Push against the pressure every effort really counts Don't let them box you in and tell you you ain't gettin' out Anything is possible, don't listen to the doubts Voices in my head, they always coming unannounced Money isn't everything, that's nothing but the truth Why's it always bad when my brother's on the news? Had to plant the seeds saw it growing from the roots If you never did the labour don't expect to see the fruits Praying to the man 'cause the pressure's through the roof If he's looking from the stands, then he'll probably disapprove I'm riding on my own, all these rappers be aloof Probably come around when they see me on the move Staying out the loop give a fuck about the clout I made it through the rain, think I made my mother proud Wishin' I could make it overground Never let me the pressure get me down Diamonds in the water Got me swimming in the stream They said there's diamonds in the water But nothing's ever as it seems Baptise me in the water I just wanna be free They said there's diamonds in the water But nothing's ever as it seems
