Chasing Diamonds

šµ Title: āChasing Diamondsā
(Verse 1)
Sunrise, laces tight, Iām out on the field,
Chasing that dream, gotta hustle, gotta heal.
Every swing, every catch, feels like a test,
Tryna climb the ranks, but canāt get no rest.
Scrapes on my hands, dirt in my veins,
Sacrificed days for moments that never came.
But Iām drained to the bone,
In this game of kings, Iām still fighting alone.
(Chorus)
Chasing diamonds, but the light feels far,
Every setbackās another scar.
Heart on the line with every throw,
Tryna make it big, but the pain still shows.
(Verse 2)
I see the majors shining on TV screens,
But the pathās a maze with shattered dreams.
Tryouts, cuts, itās a constant grind,
One bad hit and youāre left behind.
Pressure mounts with every play,
Feel like Iām losing more every day.
But I lace āem up, give it my all,
Hoping one day Iāll answer the call.
(Chorus)
Chasing diamonds, but the light feels far,
Every setbackās another scar.
Heart on the line with every throw,
Tryna make it big, but the pain still shows.
(Bridge)
Blood, sweat, and tears on this endless road,
Bearing the weight of a heavy load.
But quitting aināt a word I know,
I keep swinging, keep aiming to grow.
(Outro)
One day the crowd will know my name,
Iāll break through and change the game.
Till then Iām grinding, pushing through the strain,
Living the dream through the hurt and pain.
