Lyrics

You might be down but don't give up
I know you might be down but don't give up
You were made to shine you were made to grind
And it's your time so get up

See I done seen a lot of hate
I know you wanna talk but wait
I knew I was born to shine when I came up out the gate
I remember a prophet telling me that I would be great
Perfect timing that I'm here but I'm feeling like I'm late
I done came a long way from selling dope up in my granny's house
Nine millimeters tucked just to keep the killers out
Rest In Peace to Wanda T I'll never forget you
Taught me how to grind hard do it cause the rents due
Food stamps WIC Card drug dealing daddy behind bars
Full house living like uncle Jesse uncle was smoking crack
It had my granny stressing told me to pray hard
Taught me to count my blessing
Baby you gonna make mistakes make sure you Learn ya lesson
I still hear it in my head at night
Wishing I could stop by and hold you tight

You rose from the ashes you're gonna make it
Shine like a diamond it's why you're created
You rose from the ashes you're gonna make it
Shine like a diamond it's why you're created
You're created

I'm feeling brand new I'm a visionary
Watch me do to rap what Tom wishes he could do to Jerry
Conceited no I'm seated with the greats
Confidently confident I rise above hate wait
I was taken out of rags and given wealth
Never been the type to use the money by myself so
Tell my little homie he dream on now
Go into the city put my team on now
Money is the root of evil I never love it
Get it and give it away like it's nothing
Once upon a time, I had no food up on the stove
Didn't wanna go to school in off-brand clothes
Ooh momma I'ma need some Nike's
Gotta make sure that the kid's gon like me
If you don't know your worth then words gon hurt
They can push you down and put you in that dirt

You rose from the ashes you're gonna make it
Shine like a diamond it's why you're created
You rose from the ashes you're gonna make it
Shine like a diamond it's why you're created
You rose from the ashes you're gonna make it
Shine like a diamond it's why you're created
You rose from the ashes you're gonna make it
Shine like a diamond it's why you're created
You're created
