we, diamonds

[Intro]

New breed

Stop calling me ambitious when I dream farther than Curry's three point range

It's not a compliment when you doubt my success in a polite way

I'm used to being the underdog 'cause black girls who have minds and a cause are stifled with leashes and clichés

But we new breeds

We run over insults and fuck niggas like Bobby Boucher

We new breeds

We coast over doubts like Tony Hawk in the prime of his X Games

[Verse 1]

I had to be the one to learn the shit the hard way

Pick up the pieces even though I wasn't the one to blame

No excuses 'cause it only made up my game

Grind up, gotta keep my grind up

I wasn't chasing nothing that was never mine to take

Rockin' the best, dressed head to toe in my mistakes

I got that type of shit, that type of shit don't ever fade

Shine up, gotta keep my shine up

[Pre Chorus]

So won't you put that pressure on me?

'Cause then you'll see the best in me

[Chorus]

Darling, you ain't notice

But that don't mean we ain't diamonds

And even though we're broken

That don't mean we ain't diamonds

I know that we ain't polished

But that don't mean we ain't diamonds

We rough around the edges

But that don't mean we ain't diamonds

[Verse 2]

What I got up in my pocket don't come easily

I had to drop it off gwaf it ain't pleasing me

Never play with people that's prepared to cheat on me

Eyes up, got to keep your eyes up

I wake up every morning and I'm feeling hella free

Paid my dues so I can do this shit the way I please

I've been on my grind, I've been waiting patiently

Hustle up, gotta keep your hustle up

[Pre Chorus]

So won't you put that pressure on me?

'Cause then you'll see the best in me

[Chorus]

Darling, you ain't notice

But that don't mean we ain't diamonds (That don't mean we)

And even though we're broken

That don't mean we ain't diamonds (We)

I know that we ain't polished

But that don't mean we ain't diamonds (That don't mean)

We rough around the edges

But that don't mean we ain't diamonds

[Bridge]

We were made under the weight of mountains

So we can take whatever you throw at us

[Chorus]

Darling, you ain't notice

But that don't mean we ain't diamonds

And even though we're broken

That don't mean we ain't diamonds

I know that we ain't polished

But that don't mean we ain't diamonds

We rough around the edges

But that don't mean we ain't diamonds (No, no, no, no, no, no)
