Yelawolf - Diamonds lyrics

Diamonds are forever… so I’ve heard
Yeah, yeah, yeah big, big
Big swollen old things yelawolf
I’ma give a shoutout to Kanye West
For this beat right here

(Diamonds are forever, forever, forever)
I guess that’s why Roc-A-Fella
Is still rocking
(Diamonds are forever, forever, forever)
I guess that’s why
That I got coal in my stocking (Forever)
Coal turns to stone, and stone turn to rings
And rings become fashion (Forever)
Hey, if it lasts forever
I want to know myself
And I’m tired of asking

Take a deep breath
In 3 minutes there be no air left
I drop verses like she used to drop purses
When I used to pop glass
With a spark plug lurking’
Thuggin's a label that I
Could claim for certain
To smart for jail time
I moved under the surface
Low budget crooks do wicked thangs
I spit one Christmas Eve
One year lifting names offa’ boxes
Sitting on the gift like a hostage
A old Grinch that stole Christmas
From a nice kid
But Billy didn’t really need it, did he?
I mean I knew the reality of veracious pity
But really my homeboy was calling
And my wallet was missing
My angel was too far away I
Guess I hurt his feelings
I’m looking up, and my nose is on the ceiling
The walls are closing in on
My dreams and the vision
Oversee with me and a family seems far away
And impossible to come to
A stage of obedience
I’m seeing grief in the seat of another
Man fathering my child of my destiny
And I need control yeah
Man at least I know better
But all I’m thinking is
A diamond looks better
Time faded thewounds I’ve paved for
The grave that I
Dug for the victim of my lost soul-ways

Days passed on me like a blimp
I could only pray that the heartache
That I gave was okay
Mumma didn’t raise no fool (Nah)
But mumma had a use for the jewels
They gave her a attitude
Young people dying at the hands of
The beast in the East
Digging diamonds for the old white man
The power of the jewel is
The prism it creates
When the light in the cut
Makes the colors expand (yeah)
Fools misuse and mislead and deny
That the real reason they would
Kill for the blue thrill
Is only because the status of
The rock makes the
Hand of the owner feel like a real meal
When women can’t get a real meal
When men can’t get a hot meal
When kids can’t get a cooked meal
How does that make you feel?
Here an American on the hill
You could be in the projects still
You could never feel the hurt, the chill
You’re ice ain’t cold enough, kneel
Kneel before the lies that gave
Kneel before the pain that it’s sourced so
You can feel like you mean something
You really mean nothing
You’re grill means nothing (yeah I said it)
Children are suffering but they
Cheering you in public (What?)
Jesus on the chain don’t make
The Imperial love it

Halt! Serial numbers decoded by the diamond
Thief in the vault ten carat piece
Ten souls bought
20 lives lost in the journey from
The 17th century till now
Family heirloom that kept daddy proud
Taken like a grain of sand
From a desert mound they will never miss it
The crew will get rich with the stone
Just to see his baby come home

Taken by the diamond slave miners as a child
The rewards only really to
See his daughter smile
So I guess the gift that I took makes sense
He stole it for his baby
I stole to give a gift wow

Yeah just think man just think
Going to run through it before you
Spend the cash on it hold up
Hold one up yeah

(Diamonds are forever, forever, forever)
I guess that’s why Roc-A-Fella
Is still rocking
(Diamonds are forever, forever, forever)
I guess that’s why
That I got coal in my stocking (Forever)
Coal turns to stone, and stone turn to rings
And rings become fashion (Forever)
Hey, if it lasts forever
I want to know myself
And I’m tired of asking

(Diamonds are forever, forever, forever)

Yeah

Kid rock it’s ghetto yeah rock on
Alabama rock on… shiny diamond number 7
Prism number 3 prism with the light of god
Number 7 the most hot and number 9, number 9
