T. James - Diamonds lyrics

[Hook] Shine bright like a diamond (4x) [Verse 1: T. James] Shine brighter than a diamond You glide through the skies similar to a pilot But what if you crash due to low mileage And you're surrendered on a hopeless island Tryna get help and a**istance But there was no witness you distanced your existence From everybody you once knew You lock yourself in a dark room waiting for someone to bust through Actions speak volume, but you gotta turn it down a notch You never look in the mirror because it's hard to watch A smile fade away into the harmless dark You gotta love yourself though cause that's all you got [Hook] [Verse 2: T. James] Keeping your feelings inside was your idea But how we gonna know you feel, we ain't mind readers You're a blind leader, leading no soul Leading your fall to the depths of hell with no hole Life's a trip, nah you're just clumsy It's bums me seeing potential end up with nothing You chase your dreams 'cause they're always running And if you don't catch 'em, someone else will find them stunning One man's trash is another man's treasure If he puts in the effort you were scheduled to perform Then he's the one measured to win the war When failure doesn't float your boat, you gon' peddle to shore? I said one man's trash is another man's treasure If he puts in the effort you were scheduled to perform Then he's the one measured to win the war When failure doesn't float your boat, you gon' peddle to shore? Or stay out there for more? [Verse 3: T. James] We all wanna shine bright on the biggest stage But you can't keep your mind right, you're on a mental rage If they're tryna write your story, then rip their page And let 'em proceed with their judgmental ways They're just thirsty for your attention, a little taste Hold your wisdom for the worthy or it'll waste Never fear what you know you can conquer Seeing demons and monsters in your binoculars Got you prompted for a challenge that you can manage Causing damage to vanish every savage Now place these distractions in a casket Close the lid, and you have gained the advantage You made a self vow, now you gotta come through The spotlight's on you, now what you gon' do? I said you made a self vow, now you gotta come through The spotlight's on you, now what you gon' do, huh? [Hook] [Outro] So shine bright, tonight, You and I We're beautiful like diamonds in the sky Eye to eye, so alive We're beautiful like diamonds in the sky Shine bright like a diamond Shine bright like a diamond Shining bright like a diamond We're beautiful like diamonds in the sky Shine bright like a diamond
