Diamonds
(专辑: Nobody's Smiling - 2014)
[Intro Big Sean:] (Oh) Walk up in the
thing, got my campaign popping Champagne popping, bad thing popping Headed to the
door, and ain't a
damn thing knocking (no) Walk up in the
thing and everybody with me mobbing Campaign popping, champagne popping [Verse 1
Common:] I
wrote this on my born day, it was a
warm day Niggas gotta eat, we gon' do it gourmet I'm hearing fucking voices, like when porn play Stay, stay on your grind like foreplay What more can I
say? Diamonds are for the
day That means to shine, you find a
way Stayed on porches, backyards, and gainways Learned strange ways between [?] and Langley Champagne ambitions I
pour it out for my man who made his transition Was about paper, pussy, Prada, ego Born to fly, call me the
bald eagle Open shows at the
Regal for Daddy Kane and Eazy-E though Boys in the
hood is hard like kilos of heroin The
hero that came from zero My bars and my PR like Puerto Rico This bra from the
DR said I
was frío That's Ice Cold like Dre, triple three yo Pino noir style, better with time I'm gambling with watches getting better with time So I'mma ride this out for long as God allow me They say “time is money”, forever is my salary I
shine tomorrow with what I
do today Yo, get this money, put the
diamonds on display [Hook Big Sean:] (Oh) Walk up in the
thing and got my campaign popping Champagne popping, bad thing popping Headed to the
door, and ain't a
damn thing knocking (no) Walk up in the
thing and everybody with me mobbing Campaign popping, champagne popping Hit you with the
street sweeper now you gotta get to mopping (no) [Bridge Big Sean:] Ay, ay, ay ,
ay ,
ay, ay, ay, ay Tryna get it every way, every day Tryna get it every way, every day Tryna get it every way, every day [Verse 2
Common:] Bars in alignment, stars in alignment [?] of consignment, God's in the
diamonds Evolve from the
science, power and refinement Read between the
lines, hard to define us Niggas that's behind us, throwing up signs to signify us In the
benz leaning like we biased I
seen lead fly by us, that shit scary You can go cold and blow everything you have in a
flash The
moment is to live it like your last Moments that we have never living in the
last My time, man, precious like diamonds Look through the
glass, see what I
magnify man I'mma be shining 'til I
die man I'mma rare diamond that's hard to find man Climbing to the
mountain top, MLK day To the
streets I
speak my piece like an A.K 47 to 87 to the
hundreds Jewels I
could run it for the
hunted and the
blunted Dreams reflect clarity, ain't no disparity Between peace and prosperity, so marry me diamond [Verse 3
Big Sean:] Reminiscing when I
had everything on layaway I'm rolling with me and my partner like it was Training Day Way before the
balling that was back off in the
training days I
used to hit the
barber chair and say “I need that fadeaway” Had a
crush on what's her name, the
feelings never fade away Older brother gang bang, banging like an 808 Said you can't take his chain away Real play you can't take his game away Slang away, walk up in this thing like a
real Rockefeller But you can't take my dame away, devil in a
red dress But she got that angel face I
could teach her how to get it day to day to day to day The G
code is my combination Catch me off in the
bank thumbing through all kinds of faces Catch me in court, beating all kinds of cases Weed, money, pussy, liquor, that's my favorite combination Diamonds
