Drake Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'm able to, uh
A stage in my life where
Where I feel like I can conquer anything and everything
(Metro Boomin' want some more, nigga)

Sippin' on Dom Pérignon for no reason
Poppin' tags, upper echelon for no reason
Seen this bad little jawn, she was perfect
I'll let her push the foreign right now if she worth it
Ballin' in the middle of the club, no jersey
I don't want no liquor 'cause I been drinkin' that dirty
Bring that Ace, bought a case, my niggas with me
Bring some ice for my cup, my drink with me

Diamond, diamond, diamond, diamonds on me dancin'
Diamond, diamond, diamond, diamonds on me dancin'
Diamond, diamond, diamond, diamonds on me dancin'
Diamond, diamond, diamond, diamonds on me dancin'

And you know what I need from you when I get home
You better not be on the phone
Talkin' up a storm like you usually do
Talkin' to your friends like you usually do
Tellin' them I never spend time with you
It's hard to find a time, we been

Sippin' on Dom Pérignon for no reason
Poppin' tags, upper echelon for no reason
Seen this bad little jawn, she was perfect
I'll let her push the foreign right now if she worth it
Ballin' in the middle of the club, no jersey
I don't want no liquor 'cause I been drinkin' that dirty
Bring that Ace, bought a case, my niggas with me
Bring some ice for my cup, my drink with me

Diamond, diamond, diamond, diamonds on me dancin'
Diamond, diamond, diamond, diamonds on me dancin'
Diamond, diamond, diamond, diamonds on me dancin'
Diamond, diamond, diamond, diamonds on me dancin'

I'm familiar with this cash flow
And if you juggin', you can vouch for me
I did it my way, you could vouch for me
I put the cocaine in the powder in the couch, homie
Whenever I step outside the house I keep that glocky on me
Bad bitches wanna come by, the paparazzi on me
I got so many bad bitches that I barely want her
I'm barely payin' attention, baby, I need substance
I know you spend some time puttin' on your makeup and your outfit, but

Diamond, diamond, diamond, diamonds on me dancin'
Diamond, diamond, diamond, diamonds on me dancin'
Diamond, diamond, diamond, diamonds on me dancin'
Diamond, diamond, diamond, diamonds on me dancin'

You doin' me dirty (dirty, dirty)
You doin' me dirty
Doin' me dirty
You doin' me dirty
You know (yeah, dirty, dirty)
How we let it get like this? I don't know (yeah)
But that nigga can't save your soul (nah)
You doin' me dirty, you doin' me dirty
Haven't even heard from you (yeah)
How can you live with yourself?
I haven't even heard from you
How can you live with yourself? (Uh)
Ungrateful, ungrateful (hmm)
Your mama be ashamed of you
I haven't even heard from you, not a single word from you
Ungrateful (hah)
I'm too good for you, too good for you (yeah)
You should go back to a perfect match for you, unstable (hah)
Doin' me dirty (dirty, dirty)
You're makin' me nervous
I haven't even heard from you
You look drained, you look exhausted
Girl, them late nights ain't good for you
Really startin' to show on you




Don't hit me up when it's good for you
Ungrateful

Overall Meaning

"Diamonds Dancing" is a 2015 release by Drake and Future that discusses their achieving success and indulging in the luxuries that come with it. In the song, Drake and Future enjoy time at the club, surrounded by women, diamonds, and expensive drinks. They speak about their ability to buy whatever they want, whenever they want, and enjoy the finer things in life.


The song starts with Drake and Future feeling confident about their capabilities and how they can conquer anything at this stage of their lives. The lyrics mention spending money on expensive champagne and designer clothes without any specific reason. The duo talks about having access to beautiful women and owning luxury cars. They discuss how they ball in the club, sipping on Ace of Spades and not needing any other cheap liquor. The repeated phrase "diamonds on me dancin'" suggests that the diamonds in their jewelry are reflecting and shining as they dance in the club.


Towards the end of the song, Drake switches the tone to reflect on a relationship where he feels unappreciated and neglected. He questions how his partner can live with herself and be so ungrateful, despite everything he has done for her. The song conveys contrasting emotions, one that celebrates their success and another that questions a relationship that is not fulfilling.
