Lost what was once theirs but they won’t quit it Homie, it’s a new era, middle finger to the suit-wearers Lemme show you how to move in a room Full of dudes that don’t got a fuckin’ clue how to do this Prolly worked with Cube, so to them, this a Rubik My President is black, but my jeweler’s still Jewish So you know it cost, he makin’ a killin’ off me Red diamonds he designin’ got me shinin’ Spotlight cover my body, my chain blindin’ A cop light runner, they wanna but can’t find him Me and Hovi Hov, out on the same island Took the whip to the other side of Jamaica Seen how he was livin’, said “I gotta get my weight up” Formulated my plan, motivated by dreams Parlayed wit’ my mans, motivated my team Ced said, “Look, my niggas, we got a foot in” Bein’ good is good, that’ll get you Drew Gooden But me, I want Jordan numbers, LeBron footin’ Can’t guard me, Vince Lombardi, John Wooden Garbage?

I analyzed his life and see that he was so set up Live by the trigger, ’cause no father figure Means you don’t got a nigga comin’ ’round to guide a nigga All you got is mama bringin’ home these rotten niggas Blowin’ reefers, all the teachers do is ride a nigga So this is who I speak fo’ To give the young niggas somethin’ they could reach fo’ You better dream, boy Yeah, I stunt, but I’m a li’l more realer When it come from the heart, don’t it feel mo’ iller? Watch my flow go bananas, I’m a li’l gorilla So pardon me, man, y’all gon’ have to pardon me They say I rep that ‘Ville too much, but that shit just a part of me It’s flowin’ out through my arteries, who hard as me?

That boy Simba crazy Hotter that Ike Turner temper, you December, maybe And though you wish me well, I know deep down you wish I’d fail It’s Judgment Day, I’m here to give you pussy niggas hell And some food for thought, I can serve a plate Wit’ dessert to take, wit’ dessert to take Yeah, I heard the hate, but the wait is fuckin’ over It’s like I’m fuckin’ Oprah, well worth the wait Maybe over your head, I’m ahead of my time Niggas scared of my future, I know they dreadin’ my prime ‘Cause I only made classics, now what that take? Timing Cole under pressure, what that make? Diamonds (Diamonds, diamonds, diamonds, diamonds..)
