What a what a what a good feeling
All in these bones, I can’t shake it can’t conceal it
Joy unspeakable living life with no ceilings
I can’t contain my smile yes I’m all up
In my feelings, all up in my feelings
Cuz God’s done a work in your boy now
Now I’m making super funky records reppin for the Lord now
You may not dig the message but I see
They still rockin and bobbin to the song now
I’m only here to give ya good vibes to heal
Your soul now, to heal your soul now
I was under pressure, always living life super reckless
Wore that sin on me on like a necklace (true)
But then the God man made the investment
To see the best in me, now everyday I’m living better
Diamond in the rough y’all, I was I was
Just a diamond in the rough y’all (diamond in the rough)
Diamond in the rough y’all, I was I was
Just a diamond in the rough y’all (diamond in the rough)
Diamond in the rough y’all, I was I was
Just a diamond in the rough y’all (diamond in the rough)
Diamond in the rough y’all, I was I was
Just a diamond in the rough y’all (diamond in the rough)
Potential to shine bright, I knew I had it
A hand was reaching out to the dirt
I just had to grab it, the passion
Was brewing deep inside, no point in hiding
It or denying it, but I was too busy tryna be the flyest
I was the pious kid playing with fire entertaining
Evil desires that never required
My attention not even mention
There was no ascension but descension
Had to put my pride in detention
Crave change like you want it
Once you grab ahold you gotta own it
Satan don’t condone it, but who really cares
He’s your opponent
The master is shaping you be a wonderful
Work a masterpiece, don’t you give up
If you get knocked down you better get up
You’ve got too much to do to be a quitter
I was under pressure, always living life super reckless
Wore that sin on me on like a necklace (true)
But then the God man made the investment
To see the best in me, now everyday I’m living better
Diamond in the rough y’all, I was I was
Just a diamond in the rough y’all (diamond in the rough)
Diamond in the rough y’all, I was I was
Just a diamond in the rough y’all (diamond in the rough)
Diamond in the rough y’all, I was I was
Just a diamond in the rough y’all (diamond in the rough)
Diamond in the rough y’all, I was I was
Just a diamond in the rough y’all (diamond in the rough)
Feeling so amazing feeling so incredible
Love is what I always needed as if it were medical
Medical grateful for the chance to get it right
And the chance to shine a little bit of light
In a world that needs it
Diamond in the rough y’all, I was I was
Just a diamond in the rough y’all (diamond in the rough)
Diamond in the rough y’all, I was I was
Just a diamond in the rough y’all (diamond in the rough)
Diamond in the rough y’all, I was I was just a diamond in the rough y’all (diamond in the rough)
Diamond in the rough y’all, I was I was just a diamond in the rough y’all (diamond in the rough)
