I've been pressed down, shaken', but now I'm runnin' over. I've been facedown, prayin', but now I'm gettin' over.

 I've been patient, waitin', but now my wait is over. God been consistent, even when I wasn't.

 Pressure make diamonds and I'm the livin' proof. If you see me shinin', I'm a reflection of you.

 Put aside my pride, now I bow to you.

 Work for it, work for it, you gon' have to work for it. They don't know, you gon' have to work for it.

 What I had to go through, put in some work for it. What I had to do, work for it, work for it.

 Sacrifice to you, you gon' have to work for it. put in work for you, put in work you.

 What I had to do, work for it. You got me, got me, I know you got me. I trust you fully, I trust you fully.

 I be prayin' to you, just like a hobby. I be waitin' for you, just like a lobby.

 I've been pressed down, shaken', but now I'm runnin' over. I've been facedown, prayin', but now I'm gettin' over.

I've been patient, waitin', but now my wait is over. God been consistent, even when I wasn't.

 Pressure make diamonds and I'm the livin' proof. If you see me shinin', I'm a reflection of you.

 Put aside my pride, now I bow to you.

 What about those nights when I'm lonely? What about those times when you hold me?

 What about those nights when I'm lonely? What about those times when you held me?

 You get me, you save me. You work for it, I work for it. I work for it, I work for it, yeah.
