“Pressure Makes Diamonds”

Yeah
Life move quick, better move with it
Heartbeat loud like a bass drum kickin’
(Verse 1 – fast flow)
I was fifteen with a dream and a bus pass,
Backpack full of hope and a rough past,
Cold nights, streetlights, no cash,
Big thoughts in a world moving so fast.
Every mistake turned lesson,
Every loss turned weapon,
Every doubt kept testing
Faith I kept protecting.
Clock keep ticking, no intermission,
Pain build vision, struggle build wisdom,
World so loud but I won’t listen
To fear tryna block my ambition.
I was down but I bounced back quick,
Mind on grind, never count that risk,
Life throw curves, I adapt that pitch,
Build from the ground like an architect brick.
(Pre-Hook – melodic but still rhythmic)
They told me slow down,
But I’m too driven,
Hands on the wheel
Of the life I’m living.
(Hook – punchy & repeatable)
Life too fast, I’m running with it,
Turn pain to power, yeah I’m done with quitting,
Every scar got a story written,
Pressure make diamonds — I’m cut and glisten.
Life too fast, no time to stall,
If I fall, I rise ten feet tall,
Through the highs and the lows I evolve,
I bet on myself — that’s risking it all.
(Verse 2 – faster, tighter flow)
No silver spoon, just hunger and drive,
Late nights wide awake just planning to thrive,
Tunnel vision, I’m staying alive,
While doubt keep knocking, I don’t let it inside.
Bills due, dreams bigger,
Heart heavy but my faith thicker,
Every setback hit harder
But every comeback get quicker.
I learned that life don’t wait,
You either build or break,
You either love or hate,
You either move or stay stuck in place.
So I’m running this race at a dangerous pace,
Chasing a future I’m ready to face,
Look in the mirror, I stare at my fate,
And tell that reflection, “We gon’ be great.”
(Final Hook – bigger energy)
Life too fast, I’m running with it,
No fear left, I’m done with limits,
Every bruise got strength within it,
Pressure make diamonds — I shine relentless.
Life too fast, but I won’t fold,
Young soul with a heart of gold,
Story still written, watch it unfold,
Built from fire, refined from cold.
