[Verse 1]
I just wanna make you proud
I don't wanna fight, wanna get it right
I just wanna make you smile, yeah
Yeah, it's been awhile
Since you had a vacation, took time off
Tryna take a break and you've been so faithful
You've been so patient
Mom, I've been praying on the beside
Yeah, pops been praying for the next life
And that's been a lesson
I hate when I see you stressin'
I'm tryna Nike, bring all the checks in
But I'm still wretched (Yeah, I'm still wretched)
[Chorus]
I've been thinking hard
It's hard to see you go through the pain
But I've been praying hard
I know pressure gon' make diamonds again
[Post-Chorus]
But I don't wanna let you down
Let you down
Let you down, let you down
Let you down
But I don't wanna let you down
Let you down
Let you down, let you down
Let you down
[Verse 2]
I'm tryna provide for the fam
I'm tryna listen and laugh
I'm tryna honor my dad
I hate when I'm makin' you mad
I'm tryna make with what I have
Yeah, pop said, "When you make it, cop me this couch"
I said, "If I make it, trust me, no doubt"
Tryna fix this house for the last ten years, yeah
And it's still broken, but we all closer
And we got closure and it's all kosher
Yeah, it's all kosher, yeah
Yeah, it's all closer, yeah
[Pre-Chorus]
Pops always pulled away
Momma's been wantin' to pray
I have to do the same
And if it doesn't change
We know to die is gain
We know to die is gain
[Chorus]
I've been thinking hard
It's hard to see you go through the pain
But I've been praying hard
I know pressure gon' make diamonds again
[Post-Chorus]
But I don't wanna let you down
Let you down
Let you down, let you down
Let you down
But I don't wanna let you down
Let you down
Let you down, let you down
Let you down
