Lyrics Dawn Richard

Dawn Richard

we, diamonds

New breed

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

Its not compliment when you doubt my success in a polite way

I'm use to being the underdog because black girls who have minds and cause

But we new breads, we run over insults and fuck niggas like Bobby Boucher

We new breads we coast over doubts like Tony Hawk in the palm of his x games

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

Peak up the pieces even though I was the one to blame

No excuses because it only made up my game

Grind up, Gotta keep my grind up

I wasn't chasing nothing that was never mine today

Rocking best dress head to toe in my mistakes

I got that type of shit, that type of shit that would never fade

Shine up, Gotta keep my shine up

So put that pressure on me

Darling you ain't know this

That don't mean we ain't diamonds

Maybe though we're broken

That don't mean we ain't diamonds

I know that we ain't polish

That don't mean we ain't diamonds

We rough around the edges

But, That don't mean we ain't diamonds

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

I had to drop it off

Never played on people that's prepared to cheat on me

Eyes up got to keep your eyes up

I wake up every morning and feeling hella free

Payed my dues so I can do this shit so effortlessly

I been on my grind, I been waiting patiently

Hustle up gotta keep your hustle up

So put that pressure on me

Darling you ain't know this

That don't mean we ain't diamonds

Maybe though we're broken

That don't mean we ain't diamonds

I know that we ain't polish

That don't mean we ain't diamonds

We rough around the edges

But, That don't mean we ain't diamonds

We were made under the weight of mountains

So we can take what ever you throw at us

Darling you ain't know this

That don't mean we ain't diamonds

Maybe though we're broken

That don't mean we ain't diamonds

I know that we ain't polish

That don't mean we ain't diamonds

We rough around the edges

But, That don't mean we ain't diamonds
