Diamonds in the Making
Zoe (Chorus):
Oh my life
Ain't nice
But I won't strangle myself with fear
I'm going to let them know that I'm here, cus
We only got one shot don't waste it
No matter if you're Cree, African or Asian
Don't stop now we're the diamonds in the making
Keep shaping the future you're amazing
Josh:
Shaping my future pulling up hard
I'm not a loser, I'm dealing my cards
I will never back up against the wall
All of my dudes are not gonna fail
Look, I'm living in the violence
I am moving into the silence
You know we have human rights
I can see myself in the lights
Stop fighting with the thug nights
I wanna go to the bright side
I'm getting tired of that talk
I am making that thing rock
Escaping away from the blocks
Racing against the clock
I'll become a better person
I'm gonna find my best version
Ryan:
I'm just trying to grow up, say my name and I show up
Tryna keep from these mix ups
Ain't got time to get locked up
Hope I get more head's up, life ain't like a tea cup
Can't wait till I'm grown up
Life has its speedbumps
On a mission to reach my crown
With precision ain't no clown
Graduating, where's my gown?
Got no time to play around
When I start to heat up, I'll never cool down
My focus is 100, so how you like me now?
Zoe (Chorus):
Oh my life
Ain't nice
But I won't strangle myself with fear
I'm going to let them know that I'm here, cus
We only got one shot don't waste it
No matter if you're Cree, African or Asian
Don't stop now we're the diamonds in the making
Keep shaping the future you're amazing
Siya:
Siya is my name, so I gotta thank my parents
I'm walkin' with the mother land, I see y'all staring
Looking at the world it be looking like a road trip
I'm an angel, I shine brighter than a diamond
My world is so precious, I'm different from the others
Fighting life struggles, never trip, never stutter
I'mma change my life with my talent and passion
Soccer is my day one and our love is ever lasting
Forever chasing the game, shout otu to Abdullah
You made it big homie so one day I'mma see ya
Samuel:
Working real hard for my life, I'm tryna figure out what's right
Bros shining light on my mind
Everything bad's in the past
Praying to Jesus, my Christ
I have belief in my life
The life I'm livin' is fast
Doin' the best that I can
Don't run away, take a stand
If something goes wrong, don't get mad
I have obstacles in my path
Staying away from the crime
I hate when people tell me lies
'Cause I'm aiming as high as the skies
'Cause I'm making my way to the rise
And I'm taking one step at a time
Jaden:
People say I take in vain
They kept calling me a liar
How can they say that even if they know
That all my disses are burning like fire
All the hatred I got, ya I've been there
And it feels real sour but I'm coming back with all my power
To regain my rightful tower
I've always been the king
I know it's going to sting, how bad it must feel to be roasted
Like a chicken wing
Really you're still giving the look
I'm startin' a new chapter in my book
One where I'm going to be honest
Always tell the truth and always be modest
Going to use my words instead of my fists
Never throw punches, only throw disses
Zoe (Chorus):
Oh my life
Ain't nice
But I won't strangle myself with fear
I'm going to let them know that I'm here, cus
We only got one shot don't waste it
No matter if you're Cree, African or Asian
Don't stop now we're the diamonds in the making
Keep shaping the future you're amazing
Xavier:
My people are formed in Canada, ya, we got that stamina
Born here, you're from elsewhere, hey foreigner
I'm a first nation, this is our land
It's time to take a stand, sticking with the plan
Hungry, and I'm thirsty, hanging with my band
This isn't a game, I'm going for fame
You call me insane, but don't know my pain
I'm making my way to the top
You're making your way to the drop
We are the future, we'll never be rushed
We are the past, we'll never be dust
We are the present, we'll never be crushed
My name's Xavier, everyone hush
Ava:
Trying to make my way up, and I'm never gonna stop
(Yah) You can not take me from rising to the top
Got people tryna change me, so I'm not who I am
But success is out of reach for them because I've got a plan
My mama always told me that I've gotta try my best
But all of these haters don't ever give me rest
They wanna bring me down, but only raise me up
While they're drowning in their hate (YEAH) I have finally woken up
