[ VERSE 1 ] My name is Diamond, yup, you've guessed it Ran a thousand schemes, and I've never been arrested I guess I'm lucky, cause I'm young and I'm a black man And intelligent, so everything is relevant Vision is clear, don't have to wear contacts Got a good lawyer, no shorts in my contract Beats are selected with the highest scrutiny I play Mr. Christian and just take mutiny Cause this is my destiny, a lotta brothers keep testin me But you haven't heard the best from me So remember one thing Aiyo, it ain't no thing but a chicken wing Yeah, so sit back, and listen to the chit-chat Sweet as a kit-kat (Diamond, where'd you get that Beat from?) Yo, Jazzy dug in the crate Needs another loop, so we added a flute Then it came together, and I grabbed a pen Then I double-checked it (for what?) loose ends The object of a song is to keep your head movin Hope you find a good A&R man... (haa) A lot of acts get signed And when the album comes out everyone says "Aw manm, take that record off, don't waste my time" Due to that fact, I went for mine
I went for mine Aiyo, I went for mine I went for mine So go for yours
[ VERSE 2 ] I overcome hurdles like Edwin Moses Everything is planned, but no one knows this I never go broke, since I don't sweat that I make moves like a man on X-Lax D-i to the a-m to the o-n-d Aiyo, you got no wins, gee So back up and take a breather, cause either You must be on acid or from Lake Placid I hop to it like a kangaroo I got jumped by a gang of two But I showed them a thang or two Cause I'm not no chump Now I clock notes cause I make you move your rump Nothing's for granted, grew up in the projects Used to wear Taylors and chinese mock necks Came a long way from back in the days When Show went to Smith, and I went to Hayes That was the past, and the future will be better Pass the Moët and keep the Cream Armaretto Peace to Greg Nice and my man Fat Joe My man O.G. and the rest of the homies The Zulu Nation for the foundation >From when I was a kid watchin _Lost In Space_, and I never forget, cause I'm totally committed To make slammin joints, just to prove my point In '92 you can't waste no time (Word) go for yours, cause I went for mine
And you know that And you don't stop And you know that Cause I won't drop I went for mine Aiyo, I went for mine And to my sister Eugenia You're in the house I went for mine So go for yours, kid And to my man Showbiz and all that Lord FinesseTeksty umieszczone na naszej stronie są własnością wytwórni, wykonawców, osób mających do nich prawa.
