Diamond in the Rough

I'm staring in the mirror at the only one I trust  

was down on my luck but when you see me now I’m up

I'm fresh up out the mud I’m a Diamond in the rough 

So when you see me shining now know it’s anything but luck 

I'm look in the mirror at the only only one I f*ck with 

I been held me down when you see me now I’m up 

Fresh up out the mud I’m a Diamond in the rough

So when you see me shining now know it’s anything but luck 

Diamond in the rough 

Yeah yeah we had it tough 

Yeah yeah we had the pressure 

And the pressure done its stuff

I’m not flexing when I’m brushing off the dust 

All this pain and the tears made my shoulders rust

In this life gotta do what you must 

build your value up, gotta earn trust, avoid fuss 

Maybe you don’t know the facts, you don’t know enough 

You can judge me all you want cos everyday I send love 

Everyday I do me, makes me wanna see you 

Makes me wanna see more, makes me wanna see through 

Maybe we become one, maybe this is the thing 

There’s an energy a flavour to the things that you bring 

To the table, or anywhere your able 

Real work turns into gold when your stable 

Now life feels sweet like syrup, like maple 

Wouldn’t change a thing about my past, I stay grateful. 

I'm staring in the mirror at the only one I trust  

was down on my luck but when you see me now I’m up

I'm fresh up out the mud I’m a Diamond in the rough 

So when you see me shining now know it’s anything but luck 

I'm looking in the mirror at the only one I f*ck with 

I been held me down when you see me now I’m up 

Fresh up out the mud I’m a Diamond in the rough

So when you see me shining now know it’s anything but luck 

This is anything but luck

Busy doin me out they range I’m out of reach now

almost let it drown but Dave found me off the free style

product of the grind im seeing her eye me down she wanna vibe tryna see if see could slide I’m in the green now

its Snakes from my past they look at me where I’m at they thinking they could hit my line and ima help em on they feet now 

I had a few I looked up too showing different shades they might have blocked a couple of rays but now they watch they watch the way i beam down

i struggled to open doors to places that come to life if i step inside I learn how the cut the keys down

I got it locked its demons stirring the pot pretty faces and plots to try and knock me off of my feet how

no new friends i had so many that hit my line for the freebie but if you see out you gotta pay the fee now

all the things you never cared to see me for is what i let the world see now im staring...

I'm staring in the mirror at the only one I trust  

was down on my luck but when you see me now I’m up

I'm fresh up out the mud I’m a Diamond in the rough 

So when you see me shining now know it’s anything but luck 

I'm look in the mirror at the only one I f*ck with 

I been held me down when you see me now I’m up 

Fresh up out the mud I’m a Diamond in the rough

So when you see me shining now know it’s anything but luck
