Robin Thicke, The Game - Diamonds lyrics
[Robin Thicke, The Game - Diamonds lyrics]
This here is dedicated to all the mamas
All the beautiful women, no matter what color
My mama Marie, Robin's mom Gloria
(We see you shinin')
Yeah, we see you shinin' (We see you shinin')
You all diamonds (We see you shinin')
And we love you, yeah, yeah (Like a diamond)
Like a butterfly
You made your way out of the shell
Ooh, like an angel
You finally got your wings
And all of the promises you made
Yourself are finally taking shape
You can only hold something so
Beautiful down so long
'Til it finds the light of day, oh yeah, yeah
Pressure builds diamonds (Aretha)
Shining so bright
(Keyshia) for you to see (Paula)
Pressure (Beyoncé) builds diamonds (Mary)
Sparkling (Halle) for everyone to see (Oprah)
Pressure (Rihanna) builds diamonds (Latifah)
Shinin' (Michelle Obama) so bright
Uh, picture a cold winter
Me, you, middle of Manhattan, dinner
Philippe Chow's or Mister
It's the Robin Hood and the plot gets thicker
I know you think I'm talkin' 'bout my girl
My mama, my unborn daughter, my world
But daddy used to beat you
Harder than the five boroughs
He left you in the ocean and
You came back a pearl
He put you through hell
I put you in diamonds
Forget about that nigga, we don't need him
Mama i know your only son was drama
You wanted Obama but he was Osama
On the block in his suicide bomber
Then I got shot and went to jail, comma
If that ain't karma
Me and my girl lost a baby in
The womb and it chinked my armor
Pressure builds diamonds (Aretha)
Shining so bright
(Keyshia) for you to see (Paula)
Pressure (Beyoncé) builds diamonds (Mary)
Sparkling (Halle) for everyone to see (Oprah)
Pressure (Rihanna) builds diamonds (Latifah)
Shinin' (Michelle Obama) so bright
All the ladies in the back
(I see you shinin')
All the girls in the front
(I see you shinin')
Everybody with your diamonds
(I see you shinin')
Yeah, keep on shinin' yeah, keep on
(Like a diamond)
All the women across the world
(I see you shinin')
Especially my girl (Keep shinin')
Just like the ocean makes the pearl
Pressure builds diamonds
(Diamonds, diamonds, diamonds, diamonds)
(Diamonds, diamonds, diamonds
Pressure builds diamonds)
(Diamonds, diamonds, diamonds, diamonds)
(Diamonds, diamonds, diamonds, diamonds)
You can only hold something so
Beautiful down so long
'Til it finds the light of day
Pressure builds diamonds (Aretha)
Shining so bright
(Keyshia) for you to see (Paula)
Pressure (Beyoncé) builds diamonds (Mary)
Sparkling (Halle) for everyone to see (Oprah)
Pressure (Rihanna) builds diamonds (Aretha)
Shining so bright
(Keyshia) for you to see (Paula)
Pressure (Beyoncé) builds diamonds (Mary)
Sparkling (Halle) for everyone to see (Oprah)
Pressure (Rihanna) builds diamonds (Latifah)
(I see you shinin', baby)
Michelle Obama (I see you shinin', baby)
I see you shinin', baby like a diamond, baby
I see you shinin', baby
I see you shinin', baby
All the beautiful women, no matter what color
My mama Marie, Robin's mom Gloria
