mc nemesis - diamonds lyrics
intro
this is for all those who’ve been told
with hateful bitter words ice cold
that they weren’t good enough in life
and to never fight any strife
i’m here to tell you that today
you can overcome tomorrow
i’m seeing it clearly now y’all
never back down always stand tall
and that those words they spoke
were just lies, mirrors and smoke
and you don’t have to believe em’
the truth is, you’re a real diamond
verse 1
was told i wouldn’t make it
was told that i wasn’t legit (lame)
cubic zirconia fake as sh+t
cold on the mic whenever i spit (you suck)
i took it as motivation
to become an inspiration
raised up the nemesis nation (worldwide)
this is my self proclamation
keep your fire, i’m as cold as ice (frosty)
i’ll take your bet rollin’ the dice
cause i’m investing in myself
gonna claim my glory and wealth (here comes the money)
because in my heart i believe
that i can be a great emcee (first name greatest)
though the road may be long and hard
i’ll keep spittin’ stackin’ them bars (get em)
i’ll keep k!llin’ it rippin it
drillin’ it till i hit the tip
of my shinin’ gem potential (like it shine)
till i get the credentials
to tell you i’m one of the best
i won’t be bitter just better (bro)
i’ll do it for all of my fans
for my friends and family man (this is for all of you)
hook
i don’t need your girls or your clothes
or your chains made outta fool’s gold
cause i am like pressurized coal (yeah)
i’m a diamond i’m gonna glow (shine)
yeah we’re all diamonds in the rough
we’re the strongest, gotta be tough
we’re rare, means it’s hard to find em’(scarce)
cause we are beautiful diamonds (shine)
verse 2
never listen to the hatred
speak from your heart what is sacred
if you’re feelin down in the dirt
remember from under the earth
that it’s just been buried your worth (you are worthy)
and i know you feel low it hurts
wipe the tears and dirt from your face
let your sweet smile light up the place (oh)
like warm rays from the morning sun (shine)
you’re story’s only just begun
this the first chapter the first page
don’t ruin it with any rage (saint anger)
my wrath locked me up in a cage
but my heart it couldn’t contain
your focus you have to maintain
never let hate infect your brain
it’ll eat you up like a zombie (braaains!)
let it go so you can fly free
so you can soar to the heavens
away from all your dark demons
believe in what you know can do
anything you set your mind to (believe in yourself!)
have the courage of a lion (oh)
be strong till there’s no denying (undeniable)
hook
i don’t need your girls or your clothes
or your chains made outta fool’s gold
cause i am like pressurized coal
i’m a diamond i’m gonna glow
yeah we’re all diamonds in the rough
we’re the strongest, gotta be tough
we’re rare, means it’s hard to find em’
cause we are beautiful diamonds
verse 3
if there’s no pressure, no diamonds
so keep working and keep climbing
the ladder of your fate awaits
let your potential awaken
it’ll shine your hidden qualities
let it shake the ground like a quake (earthquake)
you feel like your inferior
just beneath the exterior
you may be rough n’ uncut now (in the rough)
they’ll all see you glisten somehow
someway, you can make your own way (oh)
so i say today i shall pray (lord)
for you to reach what you desire
let it burn inside like a fire (burn)
flip the switch, start the ignition (start your engines!)
whether you fall by ambition
whether you fall by blood or l+st
diamonds are cut with their own dust (never give up!)
rough diamonds often mistaken
as just pebbles and forsaken
but remember they’re forever (you can do it!)
and through your desire forlorn
and your battles within war torn (fight)
you can build your own legacy (everlasting)
and become legendary (i’m so famous)
hook
i don’t need your girls or your clothes
or your chains made outta fool’s gold
cause i am like pressurized coal
i’m a diamond i’m gonna glow
yeah we’re all diamonds in the rough
we’re the strongest, gotta be tough
we’re rare, means it’s hard to find em’
cause we are beautiful diamonds
outro
hey this is just my beginning
hope you hear the message i bring
yeah i got a story to tell
about my hard life it’s been h+ll
while it’s painful for me to write
cause i can’t sleep stay up all night
hope you found comfort in my words
believe that there’s more to be heard
