Verse 1
Em 
They won't take me in
until I'm televised
And my nanny flew to Wales
C 
from Jamaica for a better life
Em 
So  I gotta leave behind a legacy
A pagan couldn't take me out my element
As I walk a god through the valley
C 
Em 
C 
like a  feel a  vibration
Em 
when I'm stepping in call
me makes the great
because I'm greater than
they've ever been
it's big bad pepper
C 
I got the devil on my clap
but the word is my weapon
I can't mix this business with pleasure
Em 
but pressure makes diamonds
and I'm shining under pressure
they can't put me in a box
till I stop breathing
C 
people say I changed not even
Em 
C 
now I'm getting  older
Em 
C 
I'm a soldier but I'm God fearing gotta
Em 
get this paper like it's swap season
now they know it's mace
they weren't hearing me
when I said I was great now I got
C 
Em 
I'm falling on their face.
C 
They can never stand up beside me.
Em 
They know their place.
We ain't the same.
They know I'm representing.
I'm in a good space.
C 
Now they want me out quick.
Now I'm in a building.
Em 
C 
They're trying to run me out quick.
Em 
Didn't know where I was going
until I knew where I've been.
The generational prayers
gave me the power within.
Surrounding myself with
C 
Em 
people I wanted to win.
C 
Em 
I told them that it was mad.
Showed them my side of the bridge.
They know I represent this.
G 
Em 
If I could talk to myself as a younger,
I'd say never get complacent.
C 
Maintain the hunger.
Em 
Pressure makes diamonds.
C 
All this pressure we've been under
Em 
Don't ever get it twisted
We gotta see this come up
Mace, forever be yourself
Don't settle for nothing less
Never second -guess yourself
C 
You ain't gotta follow trend
Em 
Man, they're moving on a mazo
You ain't gotta follow them
You're a star player
I ain't tryna see you on a bench
Nah, I'm really tryna see you pattern up
Mum showed you morals
Dad showed you character
C 
All these life lessons
coming at us
like some challenges
Em 
Talk about them obstacles
F#m 
Em 
We've been through a bag of them
So hear me
When I say I know you better than yourself
C 
If they ain't doing better than you
Don't listen to no one else
Em 
C 
Chat about Shelly and
You know we overshadow
Em 
Keep some real people round,
case you're getting overwhelmed
They know I'm representing,
I'm in a good space
C 
Now they want me out quick,
now I'm in a building
Em 
Am

They know I represent this
IN OLDEST WAY TO MAKE ONE EVEN MORE EQUAL

WE DIDN'T KNOW
WHERE WE WERE GOING
UNTIL WE KNEW NOTHING DOES
ANYONE READ ANY SPIRIT
C 
THAT'S BEING SURROUNDED US
Em

IT MAKES US UNIQUE
Am 
IF NOT SO DAT IT BASTARDS
TO BREAK US INTO UNIVERSE
