Yelawolf - Diamonds lyrics

[Intro] Diamonds are forever… So I've heard Yeah yeah yeah big, big, big swollen old things Yelawolf I'ma give a shoutout to Kanye West for this beat right here [Chorus] (Diamonds are forever, forever, forever…) I guess that's why Roc-A-Fella is still rocking (Diamonds are forever, forever, forever…) I guess that's why, that I got coal in my stocking (Forever…) Coal turns to stone, and stone turn to rings And rings become fashion (Forever…) Hey, if it lasts forever I want to know myself And I'm tired of asking [Verse 1] Take a deep breath In 3 minutes there be no air left I drop verses like she used to drop purses When I used to pop gla** with a spark plug lurking' Thuggin's a label that I could claim for certain To smart for jail time, I moved under the surface Low budget crooks do wicked thangs I spit one Christmas Eve, one year lifting names offa' boxes Sitting on the gift like a hostage A old Grinch that stole Christmas from a nice kid But Billy didn't really need it, did he? I mean I knew the reality of veracious pity But really my homeboy was calling and my wallet was missing My angel was too far away I guess I hurt his feelings I'm looking up, and my nose is on the ceiling The walls are closing in on my dreams and the vision Oversee with me and a family seems far away And impossible to come to a stage of obedience I'm seeing grief in the seat of another man fathering my child of my destiny And I need control Yeah Man at least I know better But all I'm thinking is a diamond looks better Time faded thewounds I've paved for the grave that I dug for the victim of my lost soul-ways [Verse 2] Days pa**ed on me like a blimp I could only pray that the heartache that I gave was okay Mumma didn't raise no fool (Nah) But mumma had a use for the j**els, they gave her a attitude Young people dying at the hands of the beast in the East Digging diamonds for the old white man The power of the j**el is the prism it creates When the light in the cut makes the colors expand (Yeah) Fools misuse and mislead and deny That the real reason they would k** for the blue thrill Is only because the status of the rock makes the hand of the owner feel like a real meal When women can't get a real meal When men can't get a hot meal When kids can't get a cooked meal How does that make you feel? Here an American on the hill You could be in the projects still You could never feel the hurt, the chill You're ice ain't cold enough, kneel Kneel before the lies that gave Kneel before the pain that it's sourced so you can feel like you mean something You really mean nothing You're grill means nothing (Yeah I said it) Children are suffering but they cheering you in public (What?) Jesus on the chain don't make the Imperial love it [Verse 3] Halt! Serial numbers decoded by the diamond thief in the vault Ten carat piece Ten souls bought 20 lives lost in the journey from the 17th century till now Family heirloom that kept daddy proud Taken like a grain of sand from a desert mound They will never miss it The crew will get rich with the stone Just to see his baby come home Taken by the diamond slave miners as a child The rewards only really to see his daughter smile So I guess the gift that I took makes sense He stole it for his baby I stole to give a gift Wow Yeah just think man Just think Going to run through it before you spend the cash on it Hold up Hold one up Yeah [Chorus] (Diamonds are forever, forever, forever…) I guess that's why Roc-A-Fella is still rocking (Diamonds are forever, forever, forever…) I guess that's why, that I got coal in my stocking (Forever…) Coal turns to stone, and stone turn to rings And rings become fashion (Forever…) Hey, if it lasts forever I want to know myself And I'm tired of asking (Diamonds are forever, forever, forever…) Yeah [Outro] Kid rock It's ghetto Yeah Rock on… Alabama Rock on… Shiny diamond Number 7 Prism Number 3 Prism with the light of god Number 7 the most hot And number 9, number 9
