Streams running down my eyes think I'm losing faith

But God is always on time no he's never late

This epidemic had my mind in another place

Put some love into the world let it marinate

I was hoping for a chance hope I'm good enough

Spent my twenties tryna rise now it's looking up

They said there's diamonds in the water but we can't swim

I see my brothers on the grind, pray we all win

And to my sisters on the move tryna make P's

Don't let nobody tell you nothing on your way please

It'll be a minute 'fore they change of they break me

This ain't the perfect picture we was tryna make cheese

Life's short, don't stress what you can't change

Best be looking to the next, let the past fade

It's the time to make a move don't be half late

We was moving the stress we was blasé

Never thought we'd have to move through the backstreets

Backtracking through the flames, it's a sad scene

Keep it moving through the pain for this rap dream

Drowning in the tide, let a man breathe

Diamonds in the water

Got me swimming in the stream

They said there's diamonds in the water

But nothings ever as it seems

Baptise me in the water

I just wanna be free

They said there's diamonds in the water

But nothings ever as it seems

I pray you never lose your way I

know this journey might be numb

Diamonds in the water they was tryna give you crumbs

Life's a little harder when you're coming from the slums

Everybody winning got me thinking when I'm on

Push against the pressure every effort really counts

Don't let them box you in and tell you you ain't gettin' out

Anything is possible don't listen to the doubts

Voices in my head they always coming unannounced

Money isn't everything that's nothing but the truth

Why's it always bad when my brother's on the news?

Had to plant the seeds saw it growing from the roots

If you never did the labour don't expect to get the fruit

Praying to the man cause the pressure's through the roof

If he's looking from the stands

then he'll probably disapprove

Riding on my own all these rappers be aloof

Probably come around when they see me on the move

Staying out the loop give a fuck about the clout

I made it through the rain think I made my mother proud

Wishin' I could make it overground

Never let me the pressure get me down

Diamonds in the water

Got me swimming in the stream

They said there's diamonds in the water

But nothings ever as it seems
