Family and Loyalty (feat. J. Cole)

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…

(Like A Freshly Cut Diamond)

Yo! Diamonds are forever like friends that'll kill for you

Went up in a jewelry store burglary steal for you

Build with you

Split the diamond into ice blue

Twice you try to disrespect our kinship I don't like you

And now you ex'd out the fam

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

Robin Leach, interviews on the beach

When we shake hands nuttin but ice on the reach and I teach

Like the rap reverend Ike without the perm I preach

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

Gaining my wealth training myself

From corny confrontations with haters who be playin themselves

Diamonds are like my world of rap

Your rhymin is like a world of crap

And a diamond is like a fly ass girl that's strapped

(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

Like respect in the hood that can't be bought

Word Up…

Diamonds…

Diamonds…

Diamonds…

Yeah…

Pick up the pen write down the sins, cleanse

Lay the shit down play it for friends

Make a few M's then do it again

J. Cole

Who'd a thought you woulda been

Rhyming with ghosts

Guru flows forever like a diamond and most

Could never afford the precious jewels

That's precisely why I'm blessing 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 a few

I press the truth against the naked devils

Look at the youth just like a precious pebble

Meant to be protected

Mentally we let this

Poison of Western philosophy make us sloppy

We forgot we are the chosen

From Hip-Hop to Astronomy

They copy what we show them

**** be talking slick but only try me over modems

In person they star struck, 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 little

Let the years pass experience pain watch the tears crash shown to the floor

Hurt brings wisdom

Wisdom brings a whole nother sort of understanding

Diamonds only worth what we demanding

And **** payin top dolla

Once upon a time I paid a hundred 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 outta window panes

Baldhead Slick blazin tracks when the Indo's flame

Rocks that bling

Rocks that make them jock my team

Rocks that shine

Rocks that keep my hand on my nine

Rocks that blind

Make the hard rocks drop dime

One of a kind

**** best jet from the spot when I cock mine

Diamonds are like ya 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 rip with no band

Rockin ya knot

Stopping ya plot

It's me Baldhead Slick duke coppin ya block

For you it's only pain

For me it's only gain

Diamonds are like loyalty

Iced out like royalty

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

So Good…

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…
