Oh, I
Whoa, now, now
Long time, long time
Took a long time, but I’m here (yeah, yeah, yeah)
Now I’m shinin’, chandelier (yeah, yeah, yeah)
I was a dirty diamond in the rough (yeah, yeah, yeah)
But now I’m polished, see me clear
And I ain’t never give up, whoa, nah
Stay down ’til you come up (stay down ’til you come up)
Whoa, nah (whoa), whoa
Saw the pressure, then I applied (Then I applied)
I’d be lyin’ if I say the limit is sky
Even though they hate everything I do, tell ’em I try (tell ’em I try)
They got the tendency to hate when you on the rise (whoa, yeah)
Get it out the mud (let’s get it)
Feel different when you grew up with no love
Came from the bottom, straight to the top, I swear they know me (swear they know me)
Came in the game, I ain’t have a thing, feel like they owe me (oh, yeah)
Outside, winter in the cold
Know they talk behind my back but I ain’t trippin’, I won’t fold
Been a long time comin’, It’s weighin’ heavy on my soul
Know they’ll cross me in a minute, but I’m prepared for the road (oh)
Took a long time, but I’m here (yeah, yeah, yeah)
Now I’m shinin’, chandelier (yeah, yeah, yeah)
I was a dirty diamond in the rough (yeah, yeah, yeah)
But now I’m polished, see me clear
And I ain’t never give up, whoa, nah
Stay down ’til you come up (stay down ’til you come up)
Whoa, nah, whoa
They hate the fact they gotta see me
‘Cause I’m on flat screens and poor people TV
I feed my dogs and my bitch but they ain’t needy
Five hundred thousand dollar bills on the ceiling
Lil’ shawty natural with Malaysian hair
The penthouse suite, I just go bathe in there
I got mansions and exotic bitches in the living room
Inside and outside pool, it’s okay to drool (let’s go)
You look like a fool tryna tie your tubes
Ain’t talkin’ Yeezys, but the Lambo’ got some new shoes
I could trick you up with red bottoms, oh
Before I ever try to deaden the problems, I don’t gotta say it’s
Took a long time, but I’m here
Now I’m shinin’, chandelier
I was a dirty diamond in the rough
But now I’m polished, see me clear
And I ain’t never give up, whoa, nah (nah)
Stay down ’til you come up (stay down ’til you come up)
Whoa, nah (whoa), whoa
Hit hard and move silent, yeah
