Diamonds Songtext
von G Perico

(It′s that Tray)

Nah, pressure make diamonds
I been under pressure all my life
That's why I keep coming out shinin′
God bless the child that could hold his own
Niggas tried to knock me down so I'm on my own
God bless the child that could hold his own
Everytime I level up I lose more homies

The city don't forgive
These niggas don′t want you to live
They barely making ends
And I keep coming up with M′s
More money, more problems
I thought about givin' up but really it ain′t no stoppin'
I′m 'bout to do some more shoppin′
Fuck clothes, I'm about to get some more property


Uh, try your luck
Soon as you act off emotions, you fucked
Soon as the judge say it's over, you stuck
Niggas keep dissin′ but I ain′t saying nothing
Before the hate, it was love
Enterprise Clicc doing great, I'm the one
Imagine ridin′ with a snake in your backseat
Soon as he bite you then you done, ain't no vaccine

Where yo′ "down from day one's" at?
Imagine me gettin′ rich and don't come back
That's how they make me feel
I gave my life to this shit and they hate me still
This ain′t no catch-22 ′cause I'm damned if I don′t
I'm the man when I do
All my plans came true but it came with a price
Thank God he took the lames out my life

Pressure bust pipes
Nah, pressure make diamonds
I been under pressure all my life
That′s why I keep comin' out shinin′
God bless the child that could hold his own
Niggas tried to knock me down so I'm on my own
God bless the child that could hold his own
Everytime I level up I lose more homies


Uh, dark nights, bright stars
A hard time bring you closer to God
Before I'm gone, I′ll repent
I reinvent myself every couple years
I ain′t shed that many tears
'Cause the street life made me where I can′t feel
It is what it is, I'm gon′ do what I do and I'm gon′ live what I live

These niggas full of spite
I could see it all clear, it just took a little time
I ain't never broke the code
I don't do disrespect, I ain′t ever been no hoe
It′s pressure when you grow
The circle getting smaller, 'bout to level up more
People wanna be down but they ain′t genuine
Setting traps for me then act like they're innocent

Where the fuck the real niggas went?
I feel like 50 back when he dropped "Many Men"
You niggas can′t hide yo' character
Envy run in every ghetto in America
I′m just tryna see my destiny
I love the streets but they can't get the best of me
Gotta keep that shit gangster
Pressure broke niggas but that same pressure made me

Pressure bust pipes
Nah, pressure make diamonds
I been under pressure all my life
That's why I keep comin′ out shinin′
God bless the child that could hold his own
Niggas tried to knock me down, so I'm on my own
God bless the child that could hold his own
Everytime I level up, I lose more homies

South Central, Enterprise Clicc, G-Scrilla
Ay look, same niggas tellin′ you who hatin', they hatin′ too
Unless they told you how they checked the nigga that was hatin'
You know what I mean
′Cause ain't nobody finna give a nigga a ear full
If they don't feel comfortable doing it
Shit don′t stop
Perico′s Enterprise, that's the label

Heavenly Father, we bless You, we praise You, we thank You oh God
Father we lift up our voice, for our community Father
Father we pray that You would open our eyes oh God
And turn us from darkness to light
From the power of satan unto God
That we might receive forgiveness of sins and an inheritance among those
Who are sanctified to faith in Jesus Christ

Father send thy anointing that will cast off every burden and destroy every yolk
Break the yolk of the drug addict Father
Break the yolk of the alcoholic Father
Break the yolk of the gang member Father
Bring us out with an outstretched arm and a mighty right hand
Show us oh God, that we′re made in your image and your likeness
No longer do we have to imitate gangsters, Father
And hustlers, but we can look to You and be imitators of God

Father we started with humble beginnings oh God
But let that not be our destiny
Enlarge our territory Father
In the name of Jesus
For You said that You'll supply all of our needs
According to your riches and your glory in Christ Jesus

Lift the scourge of death off of our communities
Places that have been renowned for destruction
Let them be renowned for creativity and giving birth to things
That give glory unto You God
Father we started with humble beginnings oh God
We started on the wrong path, on the wrong road
And we know Father that narrow is the path that leads unto life
But broad is the way that leadeth to destruction
Father we have learned through our mistakes that there′s a way that seemeth right unto a man
But the ends they're of are the ways of death

So Father having been humble
Having been broken by the mistakes we′ve made in life
Now our eyes are upon you
We look to your hand oh God
As a maid to the hand of her mistress
We look to you oh God, of his master
And we know oh Father that You are a merciful God
We know Father that You cause all things to work together
For the good of those who love You
Who are the cord according to your purpose

We bless You oh God
Enlarge our territory oh Father
Keep us from evil and from the pain they're of
In Jesus name, amen
