Malik Yusef - Diamonds lyrics

[Intro: Shirley Ba**ey] They won't leave in the night I have no fear that they might Desert me [Chorus: The Legendary Fya Man] n***as sell d** for the diamonds For that bag, she'll dance like diamond n***as hit stains for the diamonds All for the love of shinin' They do it for diamonds k** for the diamonds n***as get it how they live for the diamonds Risk 45 years for the diamonds Mu'f**as out here grimy They want your diamonds [Diamonds are forever] All he ever wanted was a diamond chain Got caught with the work, now they got him in chains The feds lookin' at me like I'm insane Cause I'd rather sell white, then catch a bus in the rain If he want beef, f** it imma make it double Put the fries on the side, make him eat a bullet burger Really up to you if the sh** get real Let my shorties run up on you like the side of a hill Move wit the vultures, tool in the holster Thick red bone in the mood on my sofa Ooohh imma stroke her If she tryna set me up ooohh imma smoke her f** getting poked, bruh She was at college tryna get a degree He opened up the door tryna get him a key The feds bust in like get on your knees Freeze, and if one of you n***as move imma squeeze Now her pops locked up it's no tuition f** droppin' out shorty turned to strippin' He gon' risk fed time sellin' them bells Just to throw it on her and she gon' spend it on nails [Chorus: The Legendary Fya Man] n***as sell d** for the diamonds For that bag, she'll dance like diamond n***as hit stains for the diamonds All for the love of shinin' They do it for diamonds k** for the diamonds n***as get it how they live for the diamonds Risk 45 years for the diamonds Mu'f**as out here grimy They want your diamonds [Diamonds are forever] [Verse 2: Malik Yusef] We want our diamonds back like a venomous reptile I raised these n***as, this between me and my stepchild A child from the pro-jects, they call me a project-child A child from the projects, they call me a projectile Y'all ain't never been hard Permanent dysfunction of erectile So hell yeah Throw your diamonds in the sky if the rock is in the building like the Carter Y'all might ball, but I'm a starter And I'm still f**ed up I put that on my mama And I'm still f**ed up, and I put that on my mama The city real f**ed up, and I put that on Obama So, please bring beef, I stay grilling gangsta's That's on DJ Drama But nowadays I don't even buy diamonds Unless they Ibn diamonds, cause diamonds are forever overpriced Who the f** am I to talk, when I'm rhyming over ice Ice baby Too cold, too cold 2 Chainz! Two golds, two golds And upon me exiting the club Four hoes is at me, plus the po-po's is at me I just surrender to both I keep my hands up high Just because you a funny dude That doesn't make you a stand-up guy Imagine how cool I feel, after turning down 15 A&R's But I prefer to keep my 15 right after the A & R And I always knew that I could be the man Never land like Peter Pan I just stay a star So I bring that art to my hood like a Mexican Liable to spray a car I'm feedin' n***as, cause you're not you when you're hungry Therefore, I just say a bar But you still need a pa**port to come kick it with me, my n***a Cause I stay afar #HitsOnlyFamily
