Diamonds
Ladi6 Lyrics

Feeling like I just got paid,
I feel like I just got paid after earning gas vouchers for working as a government employee.

I earned one hundred dollars worth of gas vouchers today,
Today, I earned one hundred dollars worth of gas vouchers for my labor.

Working as a government slave.
I feel like a slave while working for the government even though I was paid today.

When money gets a little bit tight,
During times when money is less, we should focus on small things that matter.

We hold on to what we know
We cling to familiar things during difficult times.

And never lose sight of the little things.
We must not forget the small things that bring us joy in difficult times.

It's the little things, that make it all worth while.
Small things in life are what make it worth living.

They say they do it for the love not the money
Some people claim to work for passion and not money,

But they're living in the sunlight,
They live carefree and do not worry about money since they have enough.

Rich not working got a daddy,
Some people are rich and do not have to work hard as they have the backing of their fathers.

Turns a blind eye.
Their fathers ignore their lack of work because they have the luxury of a wealthy life.

Oh just to be so young and in love right,
How wonderful it would be to be young and in love with someone.

And here I stay in the gutter churning butter into..
However, I'm stuck in the gutter churning butter, working hard to make a living.

Diamonds
I hope to make diamonds by working hard, which are a symbol of wealth and luxury.

Sunny days gone and turned to grey,
Good days have passed, and the future looks bleak.

How long will it last it seems forever,
The hard times and struggles seem to last forever.

Bring me down dirty weather.
The struggles bring down my spirits and mood like dirty weather.

Got a stack of bills remain unpaid
I have pending bills that still need to be paid, worsening my situation.

Call on the credit team to fix it,
To relieve myself of the financial strain, I may need to reach out for credit assistance.

This week I had to miss it.
Unfortunately, I was unable to fulfill a financial obligation this week due to my circumstances.

Nothing but lack of work to blame, the shame.
The only reason I am unable to pay my bills is only due to lack of work and earning power, causing me shame.

Tell me what would you do if you could make diamonds
If you could make diamonds, what would you do with them?

(if you could make, wh-what would you do?)
What would be your plans with diamonds?

Out of butter in the gutter where nobody could find them.
If something valuable can be made out of the gutter, it would effectively be hidden from people.

(would you hide it? w-would you hide it?)
Would you secretly keep it all to yourself?

Would you give me one, and go and make another.
Would you share one diamond with me and go on to create more for yourself?

Making plans for friends, your fams and your lover.
What plans would you make for your friends, family, and lover with newfound wealth?

(lover, lover, lover)
What about your lover?

What would you do with?
What exciting new things could you do with diamonds?

Oohh what would you do with?
What sorts of amazing activities would you partake in with diamonds?

Ch-churning butter into
Here I'm , churning butter, like many people working hard every day to make a living.

Diamonds
My hope to eventually turn my hard work into wealth and luxury like diamonds.

Diamonds
The ultimate goal of transforming my struggles into luxury and wealth.

Diamonds
The pursuit of a life where I no longer have to endure the stresses of poverty and financial struggles.
