Diamonds + And Pearls
DPR LIVE Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Or if it's wrong to want what we don't have
But if all the diamonds in the world
Can buy her tea and all the pearls
It doesn't matter what I say (ooh)
'Cause mama wants it anyway
(You are now listening to 88rising
Coming to you, LIVE
I stole all the diamonds in the sky
Looks like Lucy's all alone tonight
I told her one day I'll make it right
On the day I die
I stole all the diamonds in the sky
Looks like Lucy's all alone tonight
I told her one day I'll make it right
On the day I die
I did it for these
Diamonds, tea, pearls
I'm gonna get
Diamonds, tea, pearls
Gimme, gimme, gimme, gimme, oh
Diamonds, tea, pearls
I'm gonna get
Diamonds, tea, pearls
Gimme, gimme, gimme, gimme
Top down, middle of the city
Speeding through the night
And the sun is coming with me
So what you gonna do?
Dream job, make a mil' a minute
Used to park a Beamer, now I'm rollin' in it
So what you gonna do?
I'm gonna get, uh
Diamonds tea pearls
I'm gonna get
diamonds, tea, pearls
Gimme, gimme, gimme, gimme
Don't stop
Get it, get it, get it
Top speed
I'm way above the limit
So what you gonna do?
I stole all the diamonds in the sky
Looks like Lucy is all alone tonight
I told her one day I'll make it right
On the day I die
I'll ride my dragon up to heaven
And I'll let you know if I get in
I did it for these
Diamonds, tea, pearls
I'm gonna get
Diamonds, tea, pearls
Gimme, gimme, gimme, gimme, oh
Diamonds, tea, pearls
I'm gonna get
Diamonds, tea, pearls
Gimme, gimme, gimme, gimme

The song "Diamond + And Pearls" is a collaboration between three artists, DPR LIVE, DPR IAN, and Peace. The lyrics of the song revolve around the concept of materialism and the desire for luxury goods like diamonds and pearls. The first verse talks about the conflict between wanting something that may not be possible and the temptation to indulge in materialistic desires. The chorus talks about how the desire for diamonds and pearls is so strong that it doesn't matter what anyone else says; the person will still want them.
The second verse is particularly interesting as it talks about stealing all the diamonds in the sky and promising to make things right. This can be interpreted in different ways, either literally as someone stealing precious gemstones or metaphorically as someone striving to achieve success and wealth to obtain those gemstones. The bridge talks about living life to the fullest, achieving success, and striving for the finer things in life no matter what anyone else thinks.
Overall, the lyrics convey the message that materialism is not inherently bad, but it's important to understand the motivations behind one's desire for luxury goods and the potential consequences of pursuing them.
