Either I'm too thin
I got a breakout on my skin
It makes me breakdown lose my shit
I see myself I wanna quit
Either I'm a slut I got with way too many men
If I'm not sleeping with the guy I'm hanging with
I must be a virgin
Everybody asks me when I'll settle down and marry
Get a house out in the country
Have a baby well I'm sorry
I'm just tryna make it through the bullshit flying at me
Turn it into something catchy
And then make it into money
Kinda tired but I'm trying
Kinda done with the fighting (I)
Got the heart of a lion (yeah)
And pressure makes diamonds
I know the things that I'm wanting (so)
So I'ma work till the morning (I)
Got the heart of a lion (yeah)
Pressure makes diamonds
Every year I'm older
I just keep on getting closer
To my career being over
Cause my sex appeal is lower
And I know I'm not rich a girl
My dad weren't famous in the 80s
But I don't let it phase me
Yeah, I'll just keep on swimming through the patriarchal system
Kick them down with my ambition
Yeah, I do it on the daily
I'm just tryna make it through the bullshit flying at me
Turn it into something catchy
And then make it into money
Kinda tired but I'm trying
Kinda done with the fighting (I)
Got the heart of a lion (yeah)
And pressure makes diamonds
I know the things that I'm wanting (so)
So I'ma work till the morning (I)
Got the heart of a lion (yeah)
Pressure makes diamonds
Pressure makes diamonds
Pressure makes diamonds oh
Pressure makes diamonds
Pressure makes diamonds
Pressure makes diamonds
Pressure makes diamonds oh
Pressure makes diamonds
Pressure makes diamonds
Kinda tired but I'm trying (yeah)
Kinda done with the fighting (yeah)
Got the heart of a lion (yeah)
And pressure makes diamonds
I know the things that I'm wanting (so)
So I'ma work till the morning (I)
Got the heart of a lion (yeah)
Pressure makes diamonds
