Diamonds on for the day That means to shine, you find a way Stayed on porches, backyards, and gangways Learned strange ways between Cole and Langley Champagne ambitions I pour it out for my man who made his transition Wars about paper, pussy, pride and ego Born to fly, call me the bald eagle Open shows at the Regal for Daddy Kane and Eazy-E though +Boyz-in-the-Hood+ is hard like kilos of heroin The hero that came from zero My bars are my PR like Puerto Rico This brah from the DR said I was frío That's "ice cold" like Dre Triple Three, yo Pinot noir star, better with time I'm gamblin with watches getting better with time, ah~! So I'ma 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, uh [Hook : Big Sean] Ohhhhhh~!

Way before the ballin 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, them feelings never fade away Older brother gang bang, bangin like an 808 Said you can't take his chain away, real player, you can't take this game away Slang away, walk up in this thing like a real Rockefeller ('Feller!) 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 (GOD~!) The G code is my combination Catch me off in the bank, thumbin through all kinds of faces Catch me off in court, beatin all kinds of cases Weed, money, pussy, liquor - that's my favorite compilation (Diamonds!)
