Crime Mob Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Know you wanna know who I am and what I stand for
Stability, long Jeoperdy's Forever making peso's
I take doe
Flip it and rip it so I can make mo'
For fake hoes
Diamonds are forever so you better gone and hate hoe
Taking over anything I touch we'll I'm pursuing
It's amusing how I'm consaplated
Those who thought I'd never make it
Often imitated but I'm never duplicated
In Crime Mob's song "Represent," Diamond opens with the lines "Know you wanna know who I am and what I stand for/Stability, long Jeoperdy's Forever making peso's." These lyrics seem to suggest that Diamond is introducing herself and showing pride in her ability to make money consistently. She then continues, "I take doe/Flip it and rip it so I can make mo'/For fake hoes/Diamonds are forever so you better gone and hate hoe." This suggests that Diamond is not interested in supporting those who pretend to be something they're not, and that she values material wealth.
In the next verse, Diamond asserts her dominance: "Taking over anything I touch we'll I'm pursuing/So my man got to be equal or re-bust to what I'm doing/It's amusing how I'm consaplated/Those who thought I'd never make it/Often imitated but I'm never duplicated." These lyrics show that Diamond is determined to succeed and wants a partner who can keep up with her. She also seems to be aware that people may not have believed in her ability to succeed, but she has proven them wrong.
