Diamonds on my wrist, dust in my pocket (version 2)

Verse

Shadows on my ceiling where the streetlights used to be

Same streets still calling me back in to the sea

I learned how to make a meal from nothing but a thought

Now I'm cooking for the ones who never had enough, bought

Diamonds on my wrist, dust in my pocket

Still counting every dollar like it's the only check I got

Never traded in my grind for a life of leisure

Cause when you know what it means to have nothin', you treasure

Mama said be patient, watch how the world unfold

I said that patience is just a fancy word for old

Every struggle taught me how to keep on climbing up

Pre-Chorus

So I'm gonna take this opportunity and turn it around

Make some noise from the bottom until the whole town hears my sound

Chorus

Rise up, rise up, off the ground

I won't let nobody bring me down

Diamonds on my wrist, dust in my pocket

But I'm still shining brighter than before

Verse

Bullets used to be my alarm clock every night

Now they're just a reminder that I survived the fight

Learned how to turn every tear into water and wine

Drink it slow and savor how far I've climbed

I remember when a dollar was the biggest thing I'd ever see

Now I'm counting millions and still counting me

Pre-Chorus

So I'm gonna take this opportunity and turn it around

Make some noise from the bottom until the whole town hears my sound

Chorus

Rise up, rise up, off the ground

I won't let nobody bring me down

Diamonds on my wrist, dust in my pocket

But I'm still shining brighter than before

Bridge

Maybe that's what they meant by 'the sky is just a limit

Cause when you look at it right, it don't even have a ceiling

Chorus

Rise up, rise up, off the ground

I won't let nobody bring me down

Diamonds on my wrist, dust in my pocket

But I'm still shining brighter than before
