Lyrics

[Intro]

Yeah

Came out the mud with it

But I still shine tho (shine)

Heh

[Verse 1]

Mama had bills, daddy had vices

I learned young how to live with bad choices

Hand-me-down shoes, same shirt, three summers

Heart full of thunder, dreams doing numbers

Roaches in the kitchen, cousins on the porch

Sirens every night like a choir out the source

Teachers said, "Boy, you gon’ end up just like them"

I just smirked, wrote plans in a broke pen

[Chorus]

I’m a diamond in the dirt, you can’t see me till I hurt

Pressure turn that pain into work, into work (yeah)

They threw me in the fire, I ain’t flinch, I ain’t burst

I came out cut, came out pure, came out first (first)

Diamond in the rough, in the rough, in the rough (woah)

They ain’t wanna love me till I’m up, till I’m up (nah)

But I was still glowin’ in the dust, in the dust

I’m a diamond in the dirt, that’s us, that’s us (that’s us)

[Verse 2]

Food stamp card, lil’ boy on a mission

Counted every cent, every burn, every lesson

Big bro locked, I was lookin’ at the metal

Sayin’ I’ma break cycles, I ain’t settlin’ for ghetto

Whole block laughed when I said I’d be global

Now they hit my line, say they knew I was chosen

Talk rough talk, but my heart stay tender

I remember cold floors every late December

[Chorus]

I’m a diamond in the dirt, you can’t see me till I hurt

Pressure turn that pain into work, into work (work it)

They threw me in the fire, I ain’t flinch, I ain’t burst

I came out cut, came out pure, came out first (came out first)

Diamond in the rough, in the rough, in the rough

They ain’t wanna love me till I’m up, till I’m up (yeah)

But I was still glowin’ in the dust, in the dust

I’m a diamond in the dirt, that’s us, that’s us (that’s us)

[Bridge]

From the gravel to the gold, that’s the route that I ran

Every scar on my soul, that’s the map, that’s the plan

If you feel how I feel, throw your pain in the air

Let it cut, let it gleam, show ‘em all you still here (still here)

[Chorus]

I’m a diamond in the dirt, you can’t see me till I hurt

Pressure turn that pain into work, into work (ooh)

They threw me in the fire, I ain’t flinch, I ain’t burst

I came out cut, came out pure, came out first

Diamond in the rough, in the rough, in the rough

They ain’t wanna love me till I’m up, till I’m up

But I was still glowin’ in the dust, in the dust

I’m a diamond in the dirt, that’s us, that’s us (yeah)
