Diamonds
Madison Rose Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Livin' out in Bushwick
But you work in Manhattan
Said you came to be an actor
But maybe you'll start rappin' ayo
(Ayo)
Don't know why I would assume someone who
Was tryna' figure out their life would know what to do with me
(With me)
Ya say you didn't know where this was goin'
Ya seem to know when it's three in the morning
That was the moment

Said I only need a man
If he's printed on green
If his name is José, Jack, or Johnny
You slowing me down
I got important places to be

Diamonds in my mouth
If we ain't talkin' money
What we talkin' about?
These boys all chasin' me hands out
Keep my fingers fixed on my crown
Diamonds in my mouth
If we ain't talkin' money
What we talkin' about?
You'll never take me face down
Diamonds in my
Diamonds in my
Diamonds in my mouth
Diamonds in my mouth
Diamonds in my mouth
Diamonds in my mouth

Playa from the West Coast
Teeth dressed all gold
Saved himself as Daddy in my phone
Then wonders why when he calls I'm never home
You picked the wrong bitch to clean up your mess
I ain't wipin' up shit in this Givenchy dress
The only fuckin' I'm doing is fuckin' up a check
And bet I'm only in the kitchen b-b-b-b-breakin' my own bread

Said I only need a man
If he's printed on green
If his name is José, Jack, or Johnny
You slowing me down
I got important places to be

Diamonds in my mouth
If we ain't talkin' money
What we talkin' about?
These boys all chasin' me hands out
Keep my fingers fixed on my crown
Diamonds in my mouth
If we ain't talkin' money
What we talkin' about?
You'll never take me face down
Diamonds in my
Diamonds in my
Diamonds in my mouth
Diamonds in my mouth
Diamonds in my mouth
Diamonds in my mouth

Diamonds are a girl's best friend
If ya hit my line, I'm hittin' end
If ya textin' past 10 PM
You don't even need to send, oh
Diamonds are a girl's best friend
I'm never fuckin' with you lames again
Diamonds are a girl's best friend




Diamonds are a girl's best
Diamonds are a girl's

Overall Meaning

"DIAMONDS" by Madison Rose is a song about a woman who knows her worth and is unafraid to let it be known. The song begins with the singer meeting a man who lives in Bushwick and works in Manhattan, aspiring to be an actor but possibly pursuing rap. The singer is unsure of what she wants with him, admitting that she hardly knows what she wants from her own life. However, the two find a moment of connection in the middle of the night.


The second verse shifts focus to a man from the West Coast who is interested in the singer. He tries to impress her with his golden teeth and saved his name as "Daddy" in her phone. However, the singer is not interested in his advances, knowing that she doesn't need a man who doesn't bring her money. Instead, she's focused on her own goals and making her own way.


Through the song, the repeated line of "Diamonds in my mouth" refers to the singer's oral jewelry but also symbolizes her value and worth as a person. She won't waste her time on men who don't bring her wealth or chase her for the wrong reasons. The song is a declaration of self-worth and independence.


Overall, the song DIAMONDS is an anthem for women who know what they want and aren't afraid to demand it. Madison Rose is asserting her value and taking control of her own life, refusing to let anyone stand in her way.
