[Intro: Trae tha Truth]
I shine bright like a diamond, I shine bright like a diamond
I shine bright like a diamond, I shine bright like a diamond
I shine bright like a diamond
[Hook: Rihanna]
Shine bright like a diamond, shine bright like a diamond
Shine bright like a diamond, shine bright like a diamond
[Verse 1]
What a wonderful f**ed up life, looking to get some closure
Opposite of these f** n***as trying to get exposure
Haters in violation, trust nothing of what they showed ya
Battle em til it's over, Trae going up like a soldier
Tell em I've been in the back
Sick of motherf**ers looking over this life of mine
My [?] is time to shine
To the point that they're going blind
I've been through so much my testimony say [?] look up
I got the hood, I hope the risk will hold up
Get this money til my desk can't fold up
I gotta win
Tried to close the door but I got up in
I done missed my shot then shot again
My time to go, I ain't stopping again
Know the road is rough but I'm a high beam
So many can get it and lose it
Not me, you gon' know when I choose it
You can tell em I'm determined to get it
And if I want it, ain't no way to refuse it
I told my grandfather I'll shine for em just like a diamond
Even though it's dark I told em spark the light and you can find em
For those who tried to sh** on me, I'm right here to remind em
The true focus on moving forward like you can't rewind
[Hook]
[Verse 2]
King of the streets, 13 bust tell em I've been that
Even though they left me missing
Tell them b**h n***as I've been back
I'm something like a diamond deep in the dirt but now I done rose up
You can close your eyes if you want, but in my presence sh** get rose up
Position til I chose up, right after that go all in
Yeah then go get this work if they don't want it tell em call in
n***a I'm a boss, you out here stressing tryna work for higher
You wanna be me, no listeril, what the f** what it requires
Yeah, I shine bright like a diamond
I was promised to see the top and got to climb it on my way
Ain't no less than being great like Muhammad was speaking tree
All I know is handle business, if not then I'm in the way
And I take a team but n***as stop this lane of mine, I'm like nights in Manhattan
I'm in the game that make the plays, now they calling me Madden
And yes I love to make bitter
But I don't give a f**, the world is mine and I'm gon k** her
For real n***a
[Hook]
