Diamond Is Forever

(album: The Blueprint 2: The Gift & The Curse - 2002)

Can you hear me now? Good! (Blueprint 2 baby!)
The best of times, it was the worst of times (aoww)
It's "The Gift & the Curse"

R.O.C. yeah, number one clique here
If you represent us, throw them diamonds up YEAH
Now let's be clear, I ain't going nowhere
Now that you know, holler at your boy
HOV' (Hov', Hov', Hov')
(Hov', Hov', Hov', Hov')

Yeah, Roc-A-Fella Records
You know what diamond is
We ain't going nowhere, put your diamonds up

Standing in my b-boy stance
Free, Beans, Memphis where you at nigga?
(Right here) snatch Cam and it's a wrap
This here rap belong to us, nobody strong as us, it's a fact
Hold up I'm just warming up, gimme a second to get it back
Young Chris, Neef what? Oschino and Sparks
Next summer's yo' summer, tear this motherfucker up
Young is eternal, my youngins'll burn you
"The Blueprint" birthed, nigga I earthed you, you can't be serious
Young 'cause I'm thirty-two, dressed like I'm twenty-two
Flow like a 18, do what I wanna do
Going on my 8th ring, got Phil Jackson's Zen
Flow is black magic, I'm at it again
Rose Gold with black karats, Horse & Carriage to spend
Like Mason Betha, chasing this cheddar to the end
Of the road because the end I'm told is nearer than we know
What can I say but live for today, Hov'!

R.O.C. yeah, number one clique here
If you represent us, throw them diamonds up yeah
Now let's be clear, I ain't going nowhere
Now that you know, holler at your boy
HOV' (Hov', Hov', Hov')
(Hov', Hov', Hov', Hov')

Yeah, The Blueprint 2 homie, follow the moves
You put on two tube socks, you couldn't walk in my shoes
I was dealt a bad hand, fuck what else could I do
But keep something up my sleeve that'll help me through
But can you believe, everywhere I'm at, models come through
Cat-fighting, cat-walking, it happens often
It's true how society don't want me to move
Into the penthouse building with spectacular views
They're like uh, "He's a menace he could never be a tenant"
I'm like ooh, what's a young nigga to do?
I bring the brothers to the building give a feeling that I don't
Give a fuck we just chilling watching chandelier ceilings high as fuck
Old lady, don't blow my high
'Specially if you don't know my life, don't make me bring
Sharpton in it 'cause I'm dark-skinned-ed or
Dude with the 'fro and the Rainbow Coalition, I'ma
Victim of a single parent household, born in a mouse hole
Mousetrap, niggas wanna know
How so, how Jay get up out that, here, yeah
I snatched purses, I persevered, yeah
I had work, fiends purchased, it was clear
I was out there selling hope for despair, but stop there
I swear, I only make good from my mouth to God's ears
Had to get out the hood
And I can't justify genocide
But I was born in the city where the skinny niggas die
Born in the city where the skinny niggas ride
And as a skinny nigga I had beef with high size

R.O.C. yeah, number one clique here
If you represent us, throw them diamonds up YEAH
Now let's be clear, I ain't going nowhere
Now that you know, holler at your boy
HOV' (Hov', Hov', Hov')
(Hov', Hov', Hov', Hov')
