[Verse 1]
Yeah, I was forged where the cracks stay loud,
Weight on my back but I stand my ground,
They crumble quick when the stress comes down,
I breathe it in, let it sharpen the sound.
Every doubt tried to corner my breath,
I learned how to sprint with a storm on my chest,
You fold under heat, I’m warmed by the threat,
Turn fear into fuel, now it’s part of the set.
I don’t bend easy, I flex with intent,
Every scar got a lesson it sent,
You see pressure, I see investment,
Every second compressed into something immense.
[Chorus]
They say pressure makes diamonds,
Go ahead look hard maybe you’ll find them,
Me I am the diamond in the rough,
Pressure made me stern, made me tough.
I thrive under what would break other men,
I will grow again and again.
Yeah, the weight never scared me then,
I don’t crack, I ascend.
[Verse 2]
I been boxed in, buried, doubted, dismissed,
Still shining through layers you couldn’t exist,
You panic in storms, I adjust and persist,
Every hit that I took just refined the wrist.
I don’t sparkle for show, I gleam from the grind,
Every facet was cut by the edge of the time,
They want comfort and peace, I want pressure applied,
That’s the difference between yours and mine.
I don’t need praise, I don’t beg for belief,
I was built in the dark, not the comfort of ease,
When the ceiling came down, I increased my release,
Now the weight of the world fit perfectly on me.
[Chorus]
They say pressure makes diamonds,
Go ahead look hard maybe you’ll find them,
Me I am the diamond in the rough,
Pressure made me stern, made me tough.
I thrive under what would break other men,
I will grow again and again.
Yeah, the fire just sharpens the gem,
Every time, I ascend.
[Bridge]
Hold up—let it sit, let it sink,
I was shaped in the moments you don’t wanna think,
Every night where the odds felt grim,
Left a shine you can’t counterfeit.
You run from the weight, I welcome the test,
I was built for resistance, not rest,
If the load gets heavy again,
That just means I’m about to progress.
[Verse 3]
Now I move with a calm in the chaos zone,
Heart like stone, but the mind still roams,
You crack under stress, I make it my home,
Turn the pressure chamber into a throne.
I don’t peak once, I level up stages,
Each round adds depth to the pages,
You survive, I evolve through the phases,
Same core, just harder engraving.
If the world try to press me again,
I’ll compress it and rise from the dent,
They ask how I’m still standing then—
Pressure taught me how to transcend.
[Chorus]
