[Intro: Taylor Bennett]

That ain't wrong

That ain't wrong

In order to touch, you gotta [?]

Don't break you down, no

These diamonds take pressure

Diamonds take pressure



[Verse: Taylor Bennett]

I used to look up at the stars and wonder if he's really there

If he was, why he give me hand-me-downs every year

Why my momma hate my dad, and why my daddy never here

Why I got this IEP, and why I can't just be prepared

Why these teachers laugh at me when I say I'ma be the mayor

When I say I'm serious, why they smiles don't disappear

'Cause I ride that CTA, 4.0 ain't my GPA

My momma was so proud of me, Lisa Bennett not Lisa Ray

She was scratching lottery tickets, when we gon' see the place

And on top of that got my first suspension like yesterday

They know I'm '07 now why these niggas gon' mess with me

If I got a problem, still call up see Keegan rescue me

You say hit up Jay for that recipe, now it's rest in peace

Chano you can rest in peace, Damo you can rest in peace

Maurice you can rest in peace, got that sh*t got the best of me

Used to leave McDonald's with empty bottles and cold gelato

When it's hot Chicago we movin' like the clutch up off the throttle

Now it's less McDonald's like models coming from Colorado

If I painted my story, my canvases [?] follow

I used stay up late night wanting what I couldn't borrow

Now it's hello world, hella' yellow girls in my bed [?]

So much more, hit my dictionary, [?]

I just had to write this track, goddamn while my stomach hurt

'Cus we all independent in this bitch and we can f*ckin' merch

Been a while since I've been to church no wonder I'm feellin' cursed

Wishin' this was '05 back when ain't nobody give a f*ck

Before this Acid Rain dance, and that's when we were good enough

From playpens to stadiums, that's a lot of growing up

I just thought I'd open up 'cause that means that it's more to us

No name-dropping, clout-chasing, ain't the way the tour bus

I been in a lap clockin' the work without no doctor shirt

This year wasn't easy, if your dreamin' boy you gotta work

Thinkin' this sh*t gotta work, everytime I write a verse

Workin', workin' workin', workin', workin', that's that Bennett curse

Dream's worth believing in, scheming, planning an' seizin' 'em

Used to call me retarded, now all them got [?]

Salty exes is seasonin', slowin' down on my sodium

Euphoria's not utopia, stop actin' like you know me bruh

I knew since birth I was certain that I was sent with a purpose

While you competin' with crabs in a bucket I'm in the ocean

It's Taylor Bennett, your superhero, the answer's been spoken

I told 'em be yourself fast, you gotta scream to the masses

And niggas still call me faggot, but bitch my sh*t lookin' fabulous

You can tell by the back I get mommy's names on the addresses

You portray with the savages, I invade them, enslave them

My debt is repaid and [?] sh*t, I ain't havin' a [?]

I'm an outstanding Afro-American bisexual havin' sh*t

Change your dreams if they average

If your workplace is adamant, how the f*ck it ain't accurate?

Okay

I switch lanes for gang gang, and no shame in my job

And no angles, just angels, who hate what we love

And we're ages and pages, it's dangerous trust

And no favorites, just favors, it's neighborly love

And my savior done made me and saved all of us

And your savior done made you and saved all of us

And my savior done made me and saved all of us



[Bridge: Bianca Shaw]

You know, deep down

We're all our own kind

You know, diamonds take pressure

Diamonds take pressure

Deep down, we're all our own kind

You know, diamonds take pressure

Diamonds take pressure

Deep down, we're all a gold mine

You know, diamonds take pressure

Diamonds take pressure

Deep down, you're a gold mine

You know, diamonds take pressure

Diamonds take pressure

Deep down, you're a gold mine

You know, diamonds take pressure

Diamonds take pressure

Deep down, you're a gold mine

You know, diamonds take pressure

Diamonds take pressure
