[Verse 1: Nick Checo] Don't worry about the past I'm pursuing Words are only words and I see right through them I really want to crack the code, yeah And when the lights go out you can show me who you really are Cause diamonds don't shine in the dark You go through motions, I guess that's just your notion Well I just move the motions as if I own the moment And I've been working at it but never working for it I'm sick and tired always saying that I can't afford it My ex-girl is my ex-girl in my ex-world Coast to coast and it's on to the next girl And rarely sleeping these days Everything I don't have seems to get in my way Like it's played out, you're played out These liars, they're played out That fake sh** so played out It's played out We're played out now [Hook: Nick Checo] But this is my life now My life, my life, my life This is my life now My life, my life, my life
I just want to live I don't want to hurt nobody I told you that this wasn't just a hobby This is my life now My life, my life, my life When the lights go out you can show me who you really are Cause diamonds don't shine in the dark, no [Verse 2: C Dot Castro] Diamonds don't shine in the dark but the stars do That's how I knew that I shine bright despite all the darkness I've gone through Always on the move so I can't commit, that's convenient ain't it? Just for me but not for the girls that I made feel unappreciated For the couple of weeks we dated I'm sorry but I got to hit the road, I've been tryna make this sh** happen Getting no sleep, I've been taking this game for ransom You'll never catch this kid napping I've been working, I've been working harder than I ever used too k**ing myself now cause I know that I live in the future [Hook: Nick Checo]
