Mally The Martian Hype - Diamonds (The Soul Tape 2) lyrics

[Hook] Shine bright like a diamond Shine bright like a diamond Shine bright like a diamond Shine bright like a diamond [Verse 1: Fabolous] 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, it's 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 it's 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? [Hook] [Verse 2: Fabolous] 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 losses Losses 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 j**eler, 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? [Hook] [Verse 3: Fabolous] 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, n***as trying to ditto But I got bigger sh** 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 n***as 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 f**, 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? [Hook]
