malcolm king (.mlclm) - diamonds for beautiful girls lyrics

[verse 1]
i grew up believing in marriage
my mom and my dad found love at a young age
but now i learnt that feelings change
not everybody welcoming of the change
tried buying a dream with a dollar expecting change
and all i got back was nightmares
they so beautiful its pitiful
i used to cry and run to my parents’ room
now i wake up and write about ’em
stopped wrestling my demons ’cause i’m a sore loser
always knew i’d self destruct if i lose her
i’m 19 years old working on making it past 25
but lost the major part of my 5 year plan
so at 24 i’ll sit and reflect on the pain
and let it go and find beauty in moving on
i usually get comfort in letting go
when i do it eventually i’ll let you know
for now i still carry the diamond ring wherever i go
i don’t know what for
always thought pressure makes diamonds
but diamonds put pressure on beautiful girls to act a certain way
they ain’t post to be her best friend
but she wants them ’cause her best friend got ’em
leaving the n-gg- to feel like he owns her
and strain on the second n-gg- to buy for her
so what lesson did i learn from this whole thing?
diamonds are beautiful but don’t mean anything
if there ain’t no commitment to back it up
i used to put love over everything
now it’s over but she’s still everything
i reminisce looking at the diamond ring
she ain’t get to wear it or touch it
but no other girl will get to do it, i promise
said it was for her and i meant it

[verse 2]
pressure makes diamonds and pops balloons
but just the right amount gives balloons a purpose
it ain’t always the pressure that’s wrong
it might be who you putting it on
love should be reciprocated but isn’t always
i’m a better me and i don’t feel anger
i learnt a lot about myself and someone else
but i gotta learn more about me
what does letting go and moving on mean?
for some it’s a new project to focus on
but i ain’t dying with all this music in me
when i’m done working on me, i’ll work on the alb-m
give me until september i promise
11 months ago i was at my happiest
now i’m at my wisest getting my worst grades
but i’m getting better and you’ll see it soon
i gave myself a reason to be proud of me
you can’t stop n-body from leaving you
same way i can’t get the feelings to leave too
i’m learning to deal with it
10 years from now i might be teaching my own about life
and it’s a lot of things i survived
but i’m still breathing and tough
i grew tall but i still can’t reach the place i wanna be
but in time i’ll learn to do it
i was 10 when i learnt to swim in the deep end
but at 8 i remember i nearly drowned to death
it wasn’t my height that changed it was the experience
i used to think i can fly
2 months ago i was struggling to get up from my downfall
now i’m learning how to run again
gotta keep fit for when the obstacles come again
what’s the difference between gold and diamonds?
all that glitters ain’t gold, so you can fake it
but not every shiny stone can be a diamond
diamonds are usually rough and not perfect
but with the right pressure they become priceless
a diamond doesn’t sing “i love you”
actions do, but not everybody chooses to see them
and that’s okay young king
keep your head up, your crown can’t fall
work on yourself and goals, and one day you might have it all
it was never the diamonds that made girls beautiful
it was girls that made diamonds look more attractive
promises can never be broken
i bought a promise ring and never lost it
maybe one day i’ll have something to show for it
but for now i’m tryna see how valuable was the lesson
