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

In Drake Feat. Future's song "Diamonds Dancing," the two rappers convey their individual successes and the luxuries they enjoy as a result of their hard work. The song starts with Drake boasting about his newfound confidence, as he is now in a stage of his life where he feels like he can conquer anything and everything. The chorus of the song is a reference to the diamonds that are draped all over their luxurious lifestyle, causing them to dance in bliss. They drink fancy champagne without any purpose, and they pop tags for their designer clothing, without any thought of the cost. They are living their best life, despite what anyone else may think.


The second verse is where Future jumps in, explaining how he's familiar with the cash flow and can vouch for Drake's success. He also suggests that he's accomplished his success in his own way, with references to drugs and his gang affiliations. Future then shifts the focus to the ungrateful woman in his life who he says is "doing him dirty." He suggests that he hasn't heard from her and that she should go find someone else who is more unstable, as he is too good for her.


This song emphasizes the materialistic lifestyle that rappers tend to adopt when they finally make it in the music industry. Drake and Future are flaunting their wealth and all that goes along with it - the sparkling diamonds, high-end champagne, designer clothes, and beautiful women. The chorus of the song is catchy and emphasizes the luxurious way of living that the two rappers have adopted. The song also mentions how difficult it can be to sustain a relationship when one is on the path to success as the woman in Future's lyrics is ungrateful and seemingly using him. Overall, the song conveys a sense of pride in Drake and Future's work and also suggests that it's lonely at the top.

.This is a perfect description of the programmed dysfunction where women have prayed on their Kings (fathers, working men, protectors) downfall, only to promote degeneracy and immorality. Traded dignity and honor for their own self worship through peasants (attention w4or3s).

You'll never win if you cheat, but you're even less valuable when you change the rules to compensate for you inability to properly self improve. You refuse to rise to the occassion, so you complain until they lower the bar. You corrupting reality to appease your lesser emotions, which only grows the abyss of your dissatisfaction. You created your own antithesis due to egotistical greed.

We stand as onlookers and disappointed parents allowing you to process this poison hoping you learn from it (since you won't listen to us/loving counsel).
You deem the necessity of femininity as weakness, while inversely proclaiming all your weaknesses (trauma, bad choices, mental issues) expecting unearned empathy.


You feel unobligated to return the same kindness you've been shown, profiting off the fact that it isn't expected. You take advantage of other's compassion with no intention on reciprocation, and expect such trickery to be positively rewarded. You deny your obligation of service, innate job as a woman, while disgustingly expect compassion for your imperfections. Instead of accepting your role of something beautiful, in your journey to dodge all obstacles and denounce all consequences, you've become an inauthentic version, An Abomination.

You deny living in denial, desperately grasping at any form of acceptance to avoid pain, sacrificing your soul for fleeting pleasures.
Youre obviously not normal, by choice. Yet want to be accepted as if you arent a damaged, horrific, evil...Monster.

But we see you...we always have, now you must pay the bill in full.
