Diamonds
Paul Wall feat. T.I. Lyrics

Aight nigga, you already know what it is man
Addressing someone to confirm their familiarity with the situation

A-Town, H-Town connection nigga
A collaboration between Atlanta and Houston

T.I.P. man, you understand that?
Acknowledging T.I.P.'s presence

My homeboy Paul Wall, extended Pimp Squad Clique
Introducing Paul Wall and his group

Keep it pimpin' mayne
Maintain a cool and confident attitude

So many diamonds in my teeth you can't see no gold
Teeth adorned with an excessive amount of diamonds

Hundred ki's in the streets, every week no O
Dealing large quantities of drugs without issues

Certified G, a young nigga so cold
Established as a true gangster with a cold personality

It's the Pimp Squad Clique, punk bitch, we so tho'ed
Pimp Squad Clique's group identity and status

Pimp smoke gray Cadillac, twenty-four, imagine that
Driving a gray Cadillac with pimped-out features

Camera in my license plate to see you when I'm backin back
A camera installed in the license plate for reversing

T.I.P. be smokin' on that good shit imagine that
T.I.P. smoking high-quality marijuana

I'm blowin on a hoe that's strong enough to kill the Cadillac
Smoking very potent marijuana

By bitch I mean fro, hell to heart and had a mack attack
Implying the marijuana is strong enough to cause physical harm

Give me a brick of blow you never seen it flip as fast as that
Handling cocaine and flipping it quickly

And you can keep the beef, pussy nigga I don't battle rap
Refusing to engage in rap battles or beefs

So that bullshit you kickin through yo' teeth a gangsta laughin' at
Laughing at the lies being spoken

That shit you hear on 'Gangsta Grillz' is real, best chill
Confirming authenticity of the music on Gangsta Grillz

Before you wake up with some gangsters in your grill and get killed
Warning against crossing dangerous people

By a nigga named Big Phil, tote a big steel
Referencing a dangerous person known as Big Phil

Give a damn if my record never sells, I'm the shit still
Implying that commercial success is not important

I got the diamond ice in the grill, invisible top, glass bottom
Customizing the car with diamond and glass features

I'm swervin' lanes on the interstate, evadin laws and playin possum
Driving recklessly to avoid getting caught by law enforcement

36 of that white make you a celebrity overnight
Selling large amounts of cocaine can bring instant fame

I shoot a kite to my potnah Project, locked up doin 45
Sending a letter to a jailed associate

And let him know I'm still holdin, them Grit Boys is on the rise
Assuring the jailed associate that things are still in order

My momma raised to be a man, I'm not concerned with the next man
Raised to be independent and not worry about others

Gettin money, that's my plan
The goal is to make money

I'm on the road with that boy Unique, I'm po'n drank he roll the Sweets
Traveling with a friend who smokes tobacco wraps and drinks codeine

T Ferris concocted a master plan, we executed it to the T
Referring to a well-thought-out plan by T Ferris

It's Paul Wall and T.I.P., makin haters, R.I.P.
Paul Wall and T.I.P. working together to defeat their haters

We so tho'ed you can't compete, our competition is obsolete
Too talented and successful to be outdone by competition

I'm on the hustle 25/8, A.T.L. to the lone star state
Working hard beyond the standard 24/7

On the move I'm bleedin' blocks, tryin' to get this paper straight
Moving around to make money

No time to wait no room for error, the gameplan is crystal clear
Can't waste time, need to execute the plan perfectly

I'm tryin' to bolt up 83's and throw some ice cubes in the air
Attaching expensive rims and throwing ice (diamonds) in the air to flaunt wealth

I'm strapped up at all times, if you flex I'ma blast away
Carrying a weapon for personal protection

Like Tom Hanks on 'Castaway,' I'm posted up just one deep
Being alone like the character from the movie 'Castaway'

Cause these days these hoes out here be plottin' to come up on the creep
Being cautious of women who are out to take advantage

And these suckers be on that reach, tryin' to come up off of me
Being cautious of people who are trying to exploit or take advantage

You need to go get it, by yourself and stand up on your own two feet
Encouraging others to work hard and be independent

Look at me I'm star-studded, all because I punch that clock
Achieving success through hard work and determination

Burnin' straights out on the block, givin' it all I got
Going all out and putting in maximum effort
