Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Stuck nine-to-the-fivin'
Yeah, pressure makes diamonds
Rather live in the islands
The islands, the islands
Nine-to-the-fivin'
Yeah, pressure makes diamonds
Rather live in the islands
The islands, the islands
The islands, the islands
Rather live in the islands
The islands, the islands
[Verse 2]
The islands
The islands
The islands
[Verse 3]
Been pushin' and grindin'
Gonna go into hidin'
Rather live in the islands
The islands
Been earnin' and chainin'
Want it hot 'cause I'm burnin'
Rather live in the islands
The islands
[Verse 4]
The things you do to send the blue
Back where the suns are yellow
It's up to you, peekaboo
Here with a fortune teller
[Verse 5]
The islands
Ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh
[Verse 6]
Stuck nine-to-the-fivin' (Ooh)
Yeah, pressure makes diamonds (Ooh)
Rather live in the islands (Ooh)
The islands, the islands (Ooh)
Nine-to-the-fivin' (Ooh)
Yeah, pressure makes diamonds (Ooh)
Rather live in the islands (Ooh)
The islands (Ooh)
[Verse 7]
Stuck nine-to-the-fivin'
Yeah, pressure makes diamonds
Rather live in the islands
The islands, the islands
Nine-to-the-fivin'
Yeah, pressure makes diamonds
Rather live in the islands
The islands
