Diamonds Lyrics

Let me hit you up about these minerals
There one of a kind special individuals
But let me tell you one while I'm rhymin’
The fancy expensive rock called diamonds
You know them rocks that's in yo mama grill
Well, that's all diamond, yeah for real!
That's how it looks when it's under the ground
You know how weird this sounds
Well let me walk you through it
If you won't learn by a teacher well you will through some music
Diamond starts off as a carbon underground rock
Pressure keeps going on it and it never stops
But this amount of energy can't be done by your own strength
I'm talking more then Incredibile Hulk muscle, that's what I meant
But the whole process sounds like nonsense
But it takes a long time this is a slow process
While I'm talkin' right now, the process is happenin'
But this takes billions of years more than we can comprehend

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
