[Chorus: Big Sean]
Ooh!
Walk up in the thing, got my campaign poppin',
Champagne poppin', bad thang poppin'.
Headed to the door and ain't a damn thang knockin',
No! Lord knows!
Walk up in the thing and everybody with me mobbin',
Campaign poppin', champagne poppin'.
[Verse 1: Common]
I wrote this on my born day, it was a warm day,
Niggas gotta eat, we gon' do it gourmet,
I'm hearin' fuckin' voices, like when porn play,
Stay, stay on your grind like foreplay.
What more can I say? Diamonds are for the day,
That means to shine you find a way.
Stayed on porches, backyards, and gangways,
Learned strange ways between Cole and Langley.
Champagne ambitions,
I pour it out for my man, who made his transition;
Wars about paper, pussy, pride and ego,
Born to fly, call me the bald eagle.
Open shows at the Regal for Daddy Kane and Eazy-E, though,
Boys in the hood is hard like kilos of heroin,
The hero that came from zero,
My bars and my PR like Puerto Rico.
This bra from the DR said I was frío,
That's ice cold like Dre, triple three, yo!
Pinot noir style, better with time,
I'm gamblin' with watches, gettin' better with time.
So I'ma ride this out for long as God allow me,
They say “time is money”, forever is my salary,
I shine tomorrow with what I do today,
Yo, get this money, put the diamonds on display.
[Chorus: Big Sean]
Ooh!
Walk up in the thing and got my campaign poppin',
Champagne poppin', bad thang poppin',
Headed to the door and ain't a damn thang knockin',
No! Lord knows!
Walk up in the thing and everybody with me mobbin'
Campaign poppin', champagne poppin'
Hit you with the street sweeper, now you gotta get to moppin',
No!
Tryna get it every way, every day!
Tryna get it every way, every day!
Tryna get it every way, every day!
[Verse 2: Common]
Bars in alignment, stars in alignment,
Raw off consignment, God's in the diamonds,
Evolve from the science, power and refinement,
Read between the lines, hard to define us.
Niggas that's behind us throwin' up signs to signify us,
In the Benz leanin' like we biased,
I've seen Len Bias, that shit scared me,
You can go pro and blow everything you have in a flash.
The moment is to live it like your last,
Moments that we have never livin' in the last,
My time, man, precious like diamonds,
Look through the glass, see what I magnify, man!
I'ma be shinin' till I die, man,
I'm a rare diamond that's hard to find, man!
Climbin' to the mountain top, MLK day,
To the streets I speak my piece like an AK,
47 to 87 to the 100's,
Jewels, I could run it for the hunted and the blunted.
Dreams reflect clarity, ain't no disparity
Between peace and prosperity, so marry me,
Diamonds!
[Verse 3: Big Sean]
Reminiscin' when I had everything on layaway,
I'm rollin' with me and my partner like it was Training Day.
Way before the ballin', that was back off in the training days,
I used to hit the barber chair and say, “I need that fadeaway”,
Had a crush on what's-her-name, the feelings never fade away.
Older brother gangbang, bangin' like an 808,
Said, you can't take his chain away,
Real player, you can't take this game away.
Slang away, walk up in this thing like a real Rockefeller,
But you can't take my dame away.
Devil in a red dress but she got that angel face,
I could teach her how to get it day-to-day-to-day-to-day. God!
The G code is my combination,
Catch me off in the bank thumbin' through all kinds of faces,
Catch me off in cour, beatin' all kinds of cases,
Weed, money, pussy, liquor, that's my favorite compilation.
Diamonds!
