Family and Loyalty

L-L-L-L-Like a freshly cut diamond

L-L-L-L-Like a freshly cut diamond

Diamonds are forever like family and loyalty

Or real rap songs like C.R.E.A.M. or my melody

Diamonds are forever like my infinite thought

Like respect in the hood that can't be bought

Diamonds are forever like family and loyalty

Or real rap songs like C.R.E.A.M. or my melody

Diamonds are forever like my infinite thought

Like respect in the hood that can't be bought

Word up, diamonds

(L-L-L-L-Like a freshly cut diamond)

Diamonds are forever like friends that'll kill for you

Went up on a jewelry store, burglary, steal for you

Bill with you, split the diamond into ice blue

Tracy tried to disrespect, I care shit if I don't like you

And now you exed out the fam'

But I'm cashin' checks, with Premier on this jam

Bribe 'em leech, interviews on the beats

When we shake hands, nothin' but ice on the reach,

And I teach Like the Right Reverend Ike without the perm', I preach

There's more you need to learn, I return for my streets

Gained to my wealth, trainin' myself

For corny confrontration with haters who be playin' themself

Diamonds, I like my world of rap

Your rhymin', hah, it's like a world of crap

And a diamond is like a flyest girl that strap

(And you can't beat that with a bat)

Diamonds are forever like family and loyalty

Or real rap songs like C.R.E.A.M. or my melody

Diamonds are forever like my infinite thought

Like respect in the hood that can't be bought

Diamonds are forever like family and loyalty

Or real rap songs like C.R.E.A.M. or my melody

Diamonds are forever like my infinite thought (Yeah)

Like respect in the hood that can't be bought

Word up, diamonds

Diamonds (diamonds), diamonds (diamonds), yeah

Pick up the pen, write down a sin, it's cleanse

Lay that shit down, play it for friends

Make a few M's, then do it again

J.Cole, who'da thought that he would been rhymin' with Ghost

Guru flows forever like a diamond

The most could never afford the precious true

That precisely why I'm blessin' you with clear-cut messages

I'm destined to invest in urban sections where depression rules

I hope to heal the destitute before I leave this vestibule

Between the heavens and the seven circles

Where some dead homies maybe rest, I plan to resurrect at few

I press the truth against the neck of Devils

Look at the youth just like a precious pepple

Meant to be protected, mentally we let this-

Poisoned western philosophy make it sloppy

We forgot we are the choosen

From Hip-Hop to astronomy, they copy what we showed them

Niggas be talkin' slick, but only try me over motems

In person they starstruck, they hearts flutter

I'm like the realest one you ever met

If you don't feel this one, give it a sec'

Go live a litte, let the years pass

Experience pain, watch the tears crash on to the floor

Hurt brings wisdom

Wisdom bring a whole 'nother sort of understandin'

Diamonds only worth what we demandin', uh, uh

And niggas payin' top-dollar

Once upon a time I paid a 100 for mine, now I'm a lot smarter

Diamonds are forever like family and loyalty

Or real rap songs like C.R.E.A.M. or my melody

Diamonds are forever like my infinite thought

Like respect in the hood that can't be bought

Diamonds are forever like family and loyalty

Or real rap songs like C.R.E.A.M. or my melody

Diamonds are forever like my infinite thought

Like respect in the hood that can't be bought

I rock diamonds that cut glass out of window pains

Baldhead Slick blazing tracks when the endoes flame

Rocks that bling, rocks that make them jock my team

Rocks that shine, rocks that keep my hand on my .9

Rocks that blind, make the High Rocks drop down

One of a kind, niggas best jet from the spot when I cop mine

Diamonds are like your man you always call fam'

Diamonds are like your Grandma' you always call ma'am

Diamonds are like having the whole world in your hand

Diamonds are like the shows I ripped with no band

Rockin' your knot, stoppin' your plot

It's me, Baldhead Slick Duke, coppin' your block

For you it's only pain, for me it's only game

Diamonds are like loyalty iced out like royalty

Diamonds are like my wifey, so sweet the way she spoils me

Diamonds are forever like family and loyalty

Or real rap songs like C.R.E.A.M. or my melody

Diamonds are forever like my infinite thought

Like respect in the hood that can't be bought

Diamonds are forever like family and loyalty

Or real rap songs like C.R.E.A.M. or my melody

Diamonds are forever like my infinite thought

Like respect in the hood that can't be bought

Word up, diamonds

(L-L-L-L-Like a freshly cut diamond)
