kofi stone – diamonds in the water lyrics
[verse}
streams running down my eyes think i’m losing faith
but god is always on time no he’s never late
this epidemic had my mind in another place
put some love in to the world let it marinate
i was hoping for a chance hope i’m good enough
spent my twenties tryna rise now it’s looking up
they said there’s diamonds in the water but we can’t swim
i see my brothers on the grind, pray we all win
and to my sisters on the move tryna make p’s
don’t let n0body tell you nothing on your way please
it’ll be a minute ‘fore they change of they break me
this ain’t the perfect picture we was tryna make cheese
life’s short, don’t stress what you can’t change
best be looking to the next, let the past fade
it’s the time to make a move don’t be half late
we was moving the stress we was ???
never though we’d have to move through the backstreets
backtracking through the flames, it’s a sad scene
keep it moving through the pain for this rap dream
drowning in the tide, let a man breathe
[chorus]
diamonds in the water
got me swimming in the stream
they said there’s diamonds in the water
but nothings ever as it seems
baptise me in the water
i just wanna be free
they said there’s diamonds in the water
but nothings ever as it seems
[verse]
i pray you never lose your way i know this journey might be numb
diamonds in the water they was tryna give you crumbs
life’s a little harder when you’re coming from the slums
everybody winning got me thinking when i’m on
push against the pressure every effort really counts
don’t let them box you in and tell you you ain’t gettin’ out
anything is possible don’t listen to the doubts
voices in my head they always coming unannounced
money isn’t everything that’s nothing but the truth
why’s it always bad when my brother’s on the news?
had to plant the seeds saw it growing from the roots
if you never did the labour don’t expect to see the fruits
praying to the man cause the pressure’s through the roof
if he’s looking from the stands then he’ll probably disapprove
riding on my own all these rappers be aloof
probably come around when they see me on the move
staying out the loop give a f-ck about the clout
i made it through the rain think i made my mother proud
wishin’ i could make it overground
never let me the pressure get me down
[chorus]
diamonds in the water
got me swimming in the stream
they said there’s diamonds in the water
but nothings ever as it seems
