Verse 1
They say that pressure bust pipes and make a diamond shine
Either way it's a process I promise that Ima be honest 
Track my progress until my moments immortalized
And my legacy's fortified
I manifested everything I've written into existence 
Acquired my excellence through persistence 
I admit it
Still I'm fearful of everything that this journey comes equipped with
The failures the gains
The roads that'll change
When the change converts to millions
I pray that I won't change religion and worship shunt through these dollar bills and
If I buy anything
It be Stephanie's wedding ring
In addition to clarity
When it comes to this business and bitches
And the leeches that see a shade of green in this nigga
A lot of eyes a lot of ears on me
A lot of doubt a lot of prayers on me
Jehovah said to cast my cares on him
But if I step out of this boat I fear for God that I ain't gone swim
The pressure getting to me

Chorus
Man I pray that my fear of being great
Is way bigger than my fear of even trying
I just wanna be a diamond
And I heard that pressure bust pipes
And I heard that pressure make diamonds
I just hope they wasn't lying

Verse 2
I had to learn to fix my vision 
I'm my own optician
Teary eyed as I battle myself to get it
Believe nigga believe!
Affirmations I tried to wear on my chest with my self-esteem on my sleeves
See y'all can see it can't you
I tried to hide it in my faith and like a rocky statue
Y'all still feel he ain't real
Maybe it's paranoia
Maybe survivals guilt don't crept on my look at you corpses
Y'all dead afraid to dream 
Get the fuck up Outta these offices nigga know you're important 
Know I'm shifting this All on you outta fear that I've harbored
See I envy you niggas 
All plain and mundane
Complain bout yo Monday's
Hate that occupation that you got diplomas to entertain
You consumers don't know the strain that weighs on a creative's brain
These demons will turn Joel Osteen into Kurt Cobain
Johnny 5 leave yo circuit short 
Blow a whole in your main frame 
I done seen it all
See every fear that I've written found a place in your spirit
I treat your ears like therapy pray you help me evict them
Before I become a victim
Of album sales 
Conversations bout Forbes list 
And the privacy that I lost 
Is it all worth all of this shit
The pressure getting to me
Feeling these blues like Tookie
But I know
That Steph is believing in me 
And Ty is believing in me
Kellz and Sway believe in me
God believe in me
Ima be alright 

Chorus
Man I pray that my fear of being great
Is way bigger than my fear of even trying
I just wanna be a diamond
And I heard that pressure bust pipes
And I heard that pressure make diamonds
I just hope they wasn't lying (x2)
