In "Diana" by Daddy Showkey, the artist is addressing a woman named Diana who was experiencing a difficult time. Showkey urges her to stop crying and assures her that God's timing is perfect, she will have her own time. He explains that he is in the ghetto without problems, and if Diana's mother, who is named Hossanna, sees Showkey in the ghetto, she should tell her he is there and has no issues. Then Showkey tells the story of a woman he knows named Diana. She had been married for nine years but did not have children. Her husband's family urged him to leave her, and soon after, he took a new wife. However, Diana refused to leave and told him that his new wife should leave instead. She endured criticism and mistreatment from her husband's family, but she eventually got pregnant, and Showkey celebrates her joy by making everyone clap for her.
In essence, "Diana" is about perseverance and faith. Showkey understands that life can be hard in the ghetto and that people like Diana face even more challenging circumstances. Therefore, he wants to encourage her and anyone else who is going through a hard time. The story of Diana highlights how society, like the husband's family, can be cruel and unjust, but she remained steadfast in her fight to keep her marriage despite the odds stacked against her. Her perseverance paid off, and she was eventually blessed with a child.
