dirty diamonds

Too much shine, still the room look dark

New money on me, but it came with scars

Dirty diamonds, you can see who we are

Whole lotta smoke when I step out the car

Dirty diamonds dancing on me, they polluted

Brand-new bag came in, already blew it

I don't talk much, baby, I just do it

Whole team up now, everybody movin'

Dirty diamonds, dirty cash in the denim

They wasn't with me back then, can't let 'em in it

She said I changed, I told her, "Yeah, it's different"

Engine too loud, I can't hear your opinion

Walk in, lights hit, everything glare

Black tint ride, can't see who's there

I made one play, turned smoke into air

Now they wanna come around like they always cared

I keep my circle small, my pockets oversized

Look into these stones, see a hundred sleepless nights

I don't need advice, I done paid the price

Had to lose myself once just to build it twice

New fit, dark shades, midnight

Money came fast, had to grip mine tight

She wanna ride 'cause the stars inside

But this road get cold on the other side

Chrome on chrome

Still feel alone

Too far gone

Can't go home

Diamonds got dirt, but they still gon' glow

Heart got scars that I'll never show

If it's up from here, then I'm ready to go

Floor that thing, let the whole world know

Dirty diamonds dancing on me, they polluted

Brand-new bag came in, already blew it

I don't talk much, baby, I just do it

Whole team up now, everybody movin'

Dirty diamonds, dirty cash in the denim

They wasn't with me back then, can't let 'em in it

She said I changed, I told her, "Yeah, it's different"

Engine too loud, I can't hear your opinion

I got mud on the sole, but the ceiling got stars

Came a long way, still ain't feeling that far

Every new level put a lock on my heart

So I turn that pain into another push-start

Big body slide like a ship through the night

Dashboard glow got my face looking white

I don't chase love, I been chasing this life

And the diamonds ain't clean, but they hitting just right

Dirty diamonds

Still shining

Bad timing

I'm climbing

Whole room dark but the wrist still bright

Whole life changed in a couple wild nights

If the stone got flaws, that's the part I like

Dirty diamonds tell the story of my life.
