"Pressure Makes Diamonds"

Either I'm too thin
I got a breakout on my skin
It makes me break down, 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

[Pre-Chorus:]
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

[Chorus:]
Cannot talk, but I'm trying (Mmh)
Kinda done with the fighting
I got the heart of a lion (Yeah)
And pressure makes diamonds
I know the things that I'm wantin'
So I'ma work till the morning
I got the heart of a lion (Yeah)
And pressure makes diamonds, I

Every year I'm older I just keep on getting closer
To my career being over
'Cause my sex appeal is lower
And I, I know I'm not a rich girl
My dad weren't famous in the 80s
Oh, but I don't let it faze me, yeah

[Pre-Chorus:]
I'll just keep on swimmin' 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

[Chorus:]
Cannot talk, but I'm trying (Mmh)
Kinda done with the fighting
I got the heart of a lion (Yeah)
And pressure makes diamonds
I know the things that I'm wantin'
So I'ma work till the morning
I got the heart of a lion (Yeah)
And pressure makes diamonds, I

[Bridge:]
Pressure makes diamonds
Pressure makes diamonds, oh
Pressure makes diamonds, yeah
And pressure makes diamonds, I
Pressure makes diamonds
Pressure makes diamonds, oh
Pressure makes diamonds, yeah
And pressure makes diamonds, I

[Chorus:]
Cannot talk, but I'm trying (Yeah)
Kinda done with the fighting (Yeah)
I got the heart of a lion (Yeah)
And pressure makes diamonds
I know the things that I'm wantin'
So I'ma work till the morning (Mm-mmh)
I got the heart of a lion (Yeah)
And pressure makes diamonds, I
