(Verse 1 )
They told me I was broken, couldn’t shine no more,
Like shattered glass on a dirty floor.
But pressure makes the diamonds, that’s the pain I trust,
Now I’m grinding ‘til I turn to dust—
Diamond dust.
Scars got stories, every crack a rhyme,
I rewrite the ending every single time.
They thought the weight would keep me underground,
But look at me now—I’m sparkin’ clouds.
(Pre-Chorus)
Yeah, the night was cold, had to fight the frost,
Bare hands on the wheel, yeah, I paid the cost.
But the harder they hit, the brighter I glow,
Now the whole world know… (Oh-oh-oh!)
(Chorus)
Diamond dust in the grind! (Dust in the grind!)
Took the hits, now I blind. (Now I blind!)
Every crack just a sign,
That the light’s still inside.
From the mud to the sky, (To the sky!)
Watch me rise, diamond bright!
(Instrumental drop: Trap beat + strings crescendo)
(Verse 2)
Now they mirrorin’ my steps, tryna steal my glow,
But they don’t know what it took to grow.
Late nights in the fire, no, it wasn’t luck,
Just a heart too tough to ever give up.
Turned the pain to power, every tear a seed,
Now the garden’s growin’ where they said was weeds.
So if you doubt me, take a closer look,
‘Cause diamonds shine when they’re underfoot.
(Bridge)
I was coal in the dark, no flicker, no flame,
‘Til the weight of the world called out my name.
Now I’m dancin’ in the spotlight, yeah, I earned the trust,
They call me Diamond Dust…
