Diamond
Kofi Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴
Cause you don't really know where I been
All I know is I don't wanna die young
Hey
Been on the road, 40 weekends in a row
Been out the state, I've been living out a case
My work niggas started feeling like my old homies
I had to cut some niggas off I had to cut ties
I just dipped my wrist in water, shit got baptized
I've been living off of fat burgers and fat fries
And a quarter cup of henny just to act right
And now it's Gucci on my lens
I can't believe I made it ma I made it out the ends
I'm an east Toronto baby know I gotta represent
If you don't know my mama's name then I can not call you my friend
I'm just trynna vent
I don't really care where you come from
Cause you don't really know where I been
All I know is I don't wanna die young
So I had to get up out the 6
I was broke now my neck shining
Turned my shit to Fiji out of flint
All this pressure turned me to a diamond
I don't need no friends
I shop at Ssense
I remember days I couldn't even pay the rent and now im swerving in a Benz
Presidential tints
Wifey she at home I only see her through the lens
Babygirl in my defense
I'm on the move like im a dancer
I'm always in the studio that's why I never answer
You out in Toronto and I wrote this in Atlanta
Babygirl im yours and you should know I never answer
No hoes im my dms
Not even the 10's
You know you're the one I wanna be with in the end
Girl I know I made you mad cause you've been popping on the gram
I've been running to the money baby try to understand I love you girl I swear to god
I swear to god
Swear to god
Oh baby
Yeah
Hey
I don't really care where you come from
Cause you don't really know where I been
All I know is I don't wanna die young
So I had to get up out the 6
I was broke now my neck shining
Turned my shit to Fiji out of flint
All this pressure turned me to a diamond
I don't really care where you come from
Cause you don't really know where I been
All I know is I don't wanna die young
So I had to get up out the 6
I was broke now my neck shining
Turned my shit to Fiji out of flint
All this pressure turned me to a diamond
