[Intro]
“Yea I pray like when all of this money come in like...(filler words) I don’t change. And I’m able to still have a clear vision of the n***as that...that’s leeching off me...(filler words) I hope that I can get this girl a wedding ring and still have the clarity between girls that wanna do business and girls that just wanna f*@k‘, (filler words) shit like that and for the hook it was like um...I just pray that i just pray that my fear of being great is way bigger than my fear of it trying. All I’m tryna do is get diamond”
[Verse 1]
They say that pressure bust pipes or make a diamond shine
Either way it’s a process I promise that imma be honest
Track my progress until my moment’s immortalised
And my legacy is fortified
I manifested everything I’ve written into existence
Acquired my knowledge through persistence
I admit it
Still I’m fearful of everything that this journey comes equipped with
The failures the gains
The roads that’ll change
When the change converts to millions
I pray that I won't change religion and worship
Sin through these dollar bills and
If I buy anything
It be Stephanie's wedding ring
In addition to clarity
When it comes to this business and bitches
And the leeches that see a shade of green in
This n***a
A lot of eyes a lot of ears on me
A lot of doubt a lot of prayers on me
Jehovah said to cast my cares on him
But if I step out of this boat I fear for God that
Ain't gone swim
The pressure getting to me
[Chorus]
Man I pray that my fear of being great
Is way bigger than my fear of even trying
I just wanna be a diamond
And I heard that pressure bust pipes
And I heard that pressure make diamonds
I just hope they wasn't lying
[Verse 2]
I had to learn to fix my vision
I'm my own optician
Teary eyed as l battle myself to get it
Believe n***a believe!
Affirmations I tried to wear on my chest with my
Self-esteem on my sleeves
See y'all can see it can't you
I tried to hide it in my faith and like a rocky
Statue
Y'all still feel he ain't real
Maybe it's paranoia
Maybe survivals guilt done crept on my look at
You corpses
Y'all dead afraid to dream
Get the fuck up Outta these offices n***a know
You're important
Know I'm shifting this All on you outta fear that
I've harbored
See l envy you n****s
All plain and mundane
Complain bout yo Monday's
Hate that occupation that you got diplomas to
Entertain
You consumers don't know the strain that
Weighs on a creative's brain
These demons will turn Joel Osteen into Kurt
Cobain
Johnny 5 leave yo circuit short
Blow a whole in your main frame
I done seen it all
See every fear that I've written found a place in
Your spirit
I treat your ears like therapy pray you help me
Evict them
Before I become a victim
Of album sales
Conversations bout Forbes list
And the privacy that I lost
Is it all worth all of this shit
The pressure getting to me
Feeling these blues like Tookie But I know
That Steph is believing in me And Ty is believing in me
Kellz and Sway believe in me God believe in me
Ima be alright
[Chorus]
Man I pray that my fear of being great
Is way bigger than my fear of even trying
I just wanna be a diamond
And I heard that pressure bust pipes
And I heard that pressure make diamonds
I just hope they wasn't lying
Man I pray that my fear of being great
Is way bigger than my fear of even trying
I just wanna be a diamond
See I heard that pressure bust pipes
And I heard that pressure make diamonds
I just hope they wasn't lying
