Diamonds - Fabolous

Written by：John Jackson/S. Morales/J. Jenkins/S. Slater/R. Diaz

Shine bright like a diamond

Shine bright like a diamond

Shine bright like a diamond

Shine bright like a diamond

I turn my dark secrets into bright ideas

I used to cry for help

I learned to wipe my tears

I was scared to embrace but now I fight my

Fears

These hoes say I'm too much

It's only right I share

Pressure makes diamonds I was made to shine

When life gave me lemons

I made lemonade with mines

What's beef

Beef is when you make mistakes

Like less burgers with ya buddies and more steaks for

Snakes

My story just gets better when you get to the

End

So when I'm at my worst

I know it's not the end

I came from the dirt

Made the cut and blew

So when you put me in that right light

What I do

Shine bright like a diamond

Shine bright like a diamond

Shine bright like a diamond

Shine bright like a diamond

I'm shining religiously

Jesus pieces and crosses

I paid for all of my toys

I don't owe any santa clauses were

I never finished school or completed no college courses nah

Was taught to be a winner

But I learned more from my losses

Losses like when you go is your friends gon' miss

You

Was it 'cause you beneficial or you been official

Condo at the top

One floor down from heaven yo

Hating is beneath me

I say that's the devil yo

I'm tryna keep the faith faith

Hanging in with hope hope

Went to my jeweler

Brought myself two angels on the ropes

I came from the dirt

Made the cut and blew yeah

So when you put me in that right light

What I do

Shine bright like a diamond

Shine bright like a diamond

Shine bright like a diamond

Shine bright like a diamond

Could say I always was the truth but that be

Lying a little

You can't spell believe without a lie in the middle

I always say it first

Niggas trying to ditto

But I got bigger sh*t to do than to try

And be little

Mind of a general heart of a soldier

That just mean I call the shots

But ain't afraid to take the shots

Niggas gave it all they got

Still couldn't take my spot

Don't get ya shorty got and have to live out

Takens plot

I ain't give a f**k now I would give whatever

You only live once

But legacies live forever

I came from the dirt made the cut and blew

So when you put me in that right light

What I do

Shine bright like a diamond

Shine bright like a diamond

Shine bright like a diamond

Shine bright like a diamond

Shine bright tonight

You and I

We're beautiful like diamonds in the sky sky sky
