UGK - Diamonds & Wood lyrics

Niggas in here, man, they outta sight
And what's fucked up about it
The motherfuckers from your own city
Your little town or whatever
You know what I'm sayin'
Them be the worst ones
Niggas in here, man, can't stand to
See a nigga havin' nothin', nigga
I be eatin' free world steak and shrimp
And shit like that, know what I'm sayin'?
Chokin' like a motherfucker got a
Bone in his throat
On that smin-oke, they can't stand it
You know? But fuck 'em
Yeah, huh coming down
Dedicated to them boys riding slab

I fli I flips down the Ave
Know I'm looking good
I'm banging Screw, nigga
Diamonds up against that wood


I fli I flips down the Ave
Know I'm looking good
I'm banging Screw, nigga
Diamonds up against that wood

I fli I flip down the Ave
You know I'm looking tight
These jealous niggas looking at me
And my car so shife
Wanna take my life and wanna jack
But I see all through that
Never let these bitch niggas
Take what's mine, nigga, never do that
Who say he going through a thang
When y'all ain't never lied i got a baby
But his mama act like he ain't mine
Wicked women using children to live on
Wanna hurt and try to hate 'cause
She know the thrill is gone say, man
I stopped smoking with haters back in '94
But niggas thinking that a Sweet gonna
Get 'em through my door
And niggas talk a lot of shit in a safe place
I know 'cause he can't look me
Eye-to-eye when he in my face now, nigga
Listen to my beats and see just what I mean
Nigga, I ride dirty every day
But still I shine so clean
Glitter and gleam ain't all what it look like
So I keep swanging out here
Clanging tryna live my life

I fli I flips down the Ave
Know I'm looking good
I'm banging Screw, nigga
Diamonds up against that wood
I fli I flips down the Ave
Know I'm looking good
I'm banging Screw, nigga
Diamonds up against that wood
I fli I flips down the Ave
Know I'm looking good
I'm banging Screw, nigga
Diamonds up against that wood
I fli I flips down the Ave
Know I'm looking good
I'm banging Screw, nigga
Diamonds up against that wood

I fli I flips down the Ave and see
These niggas and days go and come
And for me, just to wake, I know I'm blessed
I grab my sess and split
My Swisher with my thumb
Some of my Sweets be tight
Now some of my Sweets be fucked up
But all of my Sweets gon' blow, so killa
Smoke get sucked up
I lucked up today and didn't fall prey
To none of that pistol play
But who is to say tomorrow
They won't be blasting this-a-way
I'm puffin' spliffs of hay
Still upset about the drama here
At this time of year
I'm wiping away my dead homies mama tears
(Shit) but naturally
Them fucking laws was always after me
So I have to be in that
Manor on that five oh-three
I'm living dastardly, must be
All about survival, g
These niggas passing me
Streets just keep on getting live with me
They said there has to be another way
But I ain't feeling that
They tried to steal a 'Lac, and my wig
They wanna peel it back
But still the fact remains
It's all about the 'caine
Swang and bang, peace to ESG and
All the victims of the game, mane

I fli I flips down the Ave
Know I'm looking good
I'm banging Screw, nigga
Diamonds up against that wood
I fli I flips down the Ave
Know I'm looking good
I'm banging Screw, nigga
Diamonds up against that wood
I fli I flips down the Ave
Know I'm looking good
I'm banging Screw, nigga
Diamonds up against that wood
I fli I flips down the Ave
Know I'm looking good
I'm banging Screw, nigga
Diamonds up against that wood

Flippin' through PA, I'm trynna see some good
But everything is still the
Same in my neighborhood
Niggas frown when you up and
Smile when you down
And when you change for the better
Shife fools stop comin' around
I see the jealousy and hatin'
And the wicked ways
We all lost children, praisin' paper
Smokin' our life away
Got to the point where I could
Not decipher day from night
She say she love me
But all we do now is fuck and fight
My conscience fuck with me so much
That I can't eat or sleep
The other side of selling dope and
Out there running the streets
And even though I'm gaining street fame
Comin' from this rap game
Lustful thinking and compulsive drinking
Is a normal thang
Some get erased and misplaced tryin'
To win the race some try to hold on to they
Place by smoking wet lace but, see
Drugs and plastic thugs ain't
Gon' change the hood
I'm smoking skunk and popping the trunk
To make me feel good

I fli I flips down the Ave
Know I'm looking good
I'm banging Screw, nigga
Diamonds up against that wood
(I'm smoking skunk and popping the trunk
To make me feel good)
I fli I flips down the Ave
Know I'm looking good
I'm banging Screw, nigga
Diamonds up against that wood
I fli I flips down the Ave
Know I'm looking good
I'm banging Screw, nigga
Diamonds up against that wood
I fli I flips down the Ave
Know I'm looking good
I'm banging Screw, aggin
Diamonds up against that wood
So it's your life
