[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]
