Diamond Sky

(albüm: Sloppy Seconds Vol. 2 - 2005)

My baby needs a diamond sky
Caviar and moonlight wine
She hasn't yet been up on my
If she'll take me

She got me chasing dreams, shoe strings tied together
While niggas flaunt her for quarters, don't want her but need the cheddar
But I can't fall playa for her, letting him slay her
While this broad out in a brawl in more houses than prayer
Yearning for affection, but burning with no protection
Cause every bit of bread I make I'm earning for bill collection
Instead of pitching in she switching men, but come back to me
Cause she know when I freak her the speakers'll come factory
Lost jobs, behind time spent on love
These chicks didn't mix with [?] men, hard love
Got me flaming trees, cough and I name them trees
Speaking on past relations that became emcees
But financially, I lack the Jack to tame them needs
There's other fish in them, but I ain't trying to sell them seeds
I ain't no fisherman, just out looking to poll please
But a man only stand so much begging on both knees

My baby needs a diamond sky
Caviar and moonlight wine
She hasn't yet been up on my
If she'll take me

I said I give this bitch my time, dedicate my grind to her
Offering my best sweat, bent all these lines [?] her
This bitch a dime, and she know it hard to get chicks
Bills, but plays tricks, plus cars they get slicks
Sliding past like opportunity, I try to catch them
But I'm using both hands to hold up my world
Riding fast is consuming me, I'd die to fetch her
Boy I ain't a man if I don't marry this girl
The swirl of joy and pain, sunshine and rain
Feeling like a player missing open layups in the game
Is it a shame to sacrifice my logic over pussy?
Been trying to help Common save this ho since I's a rookie
It's feeling like a lost cause, all y'all got her on some bullshit
That [?] nappy roots, I'm like aw naw
But I want her to stay because I love how we lay
Lady keep fucking with a nigga, let me show you the way
