Diamonds
Lil' Kim Lyrics

If I could make it rain
If I had the ability to make it rain, I would make it rain diamonds.

So all the girls in the world could keep shining
This would ensure that all girls had diamonds and could shine like the precious stones they possess.

From princess cuts to emeralds to H classes
There would be a variety of diamond cuts, emeralds and H classes raining down.

Yeah I failed math but bet I passed the E class
I may have failed in math, but I certainly passed the class of knowing what's valuable and stylish, like diamonds and other precious jewels.

Went from Chanel number 5 to two point five
My taste and style upgraded to a level where Chanel No. 5 wasn't enough, now I'm up to the level of a more expensive brand and looking expensive is my new standard.

The male rol's a resident every rooms a president
Every man around now wants to be with me because of the wealth that I possess.

With the live in waiters betcha haters can't match that
Bragging to the haters about how much more I have than them.

You're six digits short to catch that
You don't have enough money to catch up with me because my wealth is too vast and you can't match it.

Your're net year gross it 20 thow on commission
Your commission is 20 thousand dollars for the year.

My net week gross 100 mil in addition to to the Dow Jones, Stocks, restaurants out in Rome
My net week income is 100 million dollars, on top of what I earn from investments in the Dow Jones, Stocks and restaurants in Rome.

Plus all the over head and the interest on those loans
In addition to this, I also have to pay for all the overheads, which includes interests on the loans I have taken.

I want diamonds
I desire diamonds.

(She said she wants a man- to buy her a Lexus Land)
That's okay for her, but I am looking for something much more extravagant.

But still it ain't enough for me
This, however, still isn't enough for me.

She said she wants a guy to do it to her every night
She is content with her man doing 'it' to her every night.

That's all right for her
That's her choice, but not enough for me.

But you gotta go down on me
But if somebody wants to be with me, they must do what I expect.

I had bitches rockin the red, yellow and blue wigs
I had other women wearing the same wigs as me.

Cats in they raps tryin to act like Big
Men in the rap industry, often inspired by Biggie and his raps, try to act in the same way to become popular.

Remember when Big told y'all Get Money
Remember when Biggie encouraged everyone to 'Get Money.'

Remember when Big said play them niggas like dummies
Remember when Biggie advised everyone to play guys who were loose-talking like they were playing dummies.

If I could separate all the game from the glory
If I could separate all the deceitfulness from the honor/reputation.

I'd rather be with Frank, but that's a different story
I would rather be with a different guy, maybe someone else named Frank.

Cause now a days niggas ain't sayin shit (word)
Nowadays men aren't saying anything worth listening to.

Runnin off at the lips about what they gonna get
Men often talk big about what they plan to achieve.

And what they had in '86
Men often boast of what they had back in the day.

I puts them on the spot
I expose their false claims.

Pull out the lab top with the receipt for the yacht
I embarrass them by providing evidence of my assets, like getting a receipt for a yacht on my laptop and showing it to them.

What you got?
What can you show me in comparison?

Niggas be mute all of a sudden
Men become mysteriously quiet after that.

What, I pushed a button?
Did I offend you by telling the truth?

Shit, that ain't nothin'
Evidence of my extraordinary wealth is nothing to me, it's all in a day's work.

I don't care if he's young or old
I don't care whether he's old or young as long as he is rich.

Just make him very rich
I just want a man who is wealthy; that's my only requirement.

And a house that's made of gold
I also desire to have a house made of gold, not just any ordinary house.

There's only one thing better than money
Very few things are better than money.

Come into my bedroom honey
If you have the money, you are welcomed to come to my bedroom.

So we can have a drink or two
Let's get together for a drink or two.

Cosmos, if you ghetto this Buds for you
I'm going to drink Cosmos, but if you're not into such expensive drinks, Budweiser is also fine with me.

Here's a few so he can be nice
I'll buy a few drinks so that I can have his attention and he can be nice to me.

When I show him this ice on my chest
When I show him the expensive jewelry on my chest.

That I bought with his American Express
That I have bought with his American Express card.

I'm a mess, never-the-less
I seem to be in a mess or chaotic situation, but still, I have acquired the wealth that I coveted.

I'm authentic
I am real, unique and not a fake.

Ninety-nine percent B-K
Most of me is made from Brooklyn, a place where people are often associated with poverty, crime and violence.

One percent N-J
However, I'm just one percent from New Jersey, the state of many wealthy and powerful people.

Excuse me
I want to make a quick apology before I say whatever I am going to say next.

Cause what I'm tryin to say
What I am trying to express is that

Is if you ain't thorough
If you're not a thorough person who can prove things with evidence

Stay out my borough
Then, stay out of my borough, you're not worthy of my time.

Cause when my gun burn, it's loud like Pairos
When I get violently angry, it's a big deal, everybody knows about it.

And when it's your turn, you fold like Gyros
When it's your turn to face wrath, you probably will just give in like a folding pita wrap of a Greek delicacy.

And ya'll buy your suits in portions
You can only afford to buy suits in pieces and not from the top designer brands.

I get mine's from an auction
I obtain my clothes from a high-end auction where the most prestigious fashion brands offer their products.

Million dollar dress that belongs to the princess
I own a million-dollar dress that probably belongs to an actual princess.

While ya'll shopping at Saks
While you all shop at Saks.

I been there, done that
I have already done and experienced what you are trying to do.

Copt the sweater and the hat
Purchased a sweater and hat like your ordinary shopping day.
