Black diamond
I am a black diamond
A black diamond which was shining inside mud
Waiting for rain to wash the mud away
I am a black diamond
A diamond that is rejected by many
Through away by the owner
Cursed by the soil
No one noticed my value
My worth means nothing to the man
I am a black diamond
Waiting for the perfect time to shine
A perfect time to show my value to the world
To show my dignity, my worth and when that time come I will shine far from the man
You will notice my value but it will be to late to have me
You will want me in your packet but time doesn't allow you to have me.
I am a black diamond,
Allow me to shine while time agree
Allow me to put a smile in your pocket
I am a black diamond
Don't take my pride away from me
Allow me to embrace my dignity
I am a black diamond
