  • (Oh) Walk up in the thing, got my campaign poppin'
    Champagne poppin', bad thing poppin'
    Headed to the door, and ain't a damn thing knockin' (no)
    Walk up in the thing and everybody with me mobbin'
    Campaign poppin', champagne poppin'

    I wrote this on my born day, it was a warm day
    Niggas gotta eat, we gon' do it gourmet
    I'm hearing fuckin' voices, like when porn play
    Stay, stay on your grind like foreplay
    What more can I say? Diamonds off for the day
    That means to shine, you find a way
    Stayed on porches, backyards, and gangways
    Learned strange ways between Cole and Langley
    Champagne ambitions
    I pour it out for my man who made his transition
    Wars about paper, pussy, pride and ego
    Born to fly, call me the bald eagle
    Open shows at the Regal for Daddy Kane and Eazy-E though
    Boys in the hood is hard like kilos of heroin
    The hero that came from zero
    My bars and my PR like Puerto Rico
    This bra from the DR said I was frío
    That's Ice Cold like Dre, triple three yo
    Pinot noir style, better with time
    I'm gambling with watches getting better with time
    So I'mma ride this out for long as God allow me
    They say "time is money", forever is my salary
    I shine tomorrow with what I do today
    Yo, get this money, put the diamonds on display

    (Oh) Walk up in the thing and got my campaign poppin'
    Champagne poppin', bad thing poppin'
    Headed to the door, and ain't a damn thing knockin' (no)
    Walk up in the thing and everybody with me mobbin'
    Campaign poppin', champagne poppin'
    Hit you with the street sweeper now you gotta get to moppin' (no)

    Ay, ay, ay , ay , ay, ay, ay, ay
    Tryna get it every way, every day
    Tryna get it every way, every day
    Tryna get it every way, every day

    Bars in alignment, stars in alignment
    Raw off consignment, God's in the diamonds
    Evolve from the science, power and refinement
    Read between the lines, hard to define us
    Niggas that's behind us, throwing up signs to signify us
    In the Benz leaning like we biased
    I've seen Len Bias, that shit scared me
    You can go pro and blow everything you have in a flash
    The moment is to live it like your last
    Moments that we have never living in the last
    My time, man, precious like diamonds
    Look through the glass, see what I magnify man
    I'mma be shining 'til I die man
    I'm a rare diamond that's hard to find man
    Climbing to the mountain top, MLK day
    To the streets I speak my piece like an A.K
    47 To 87 to the hundreds
    Jewels I could run it for the hunted and the blunted
    Dreams reflect clarity, ain't no disparity
    Between peace and prosperity, so marry me diamond

    Reminiscing when I had everything on layaway
    I'm rolling with me and my partner like it was Training Day
    Way before the ballin' that was back off in the training days
    I used to hit the barber chair and say "I need that fadeaway"
    Had a crush on what's her name, the feelings never fade away
    Older brother gang bang, banging like an 808
    Said you can't take his chain away
    Real play you can't take his game away
    Slang away, walk up in this thing like a real Rockefeller
    But you can't take my dame away, devil in a red dress
    But she got that angel face
    I could teach her how to get it day to day to day to day
    The G code is my combination
    Catch me off in the bank thumbing through all kinds of faces
    Catch me in court, beating all kinds of cases
    Weed, money, pussy, liquor, that's my favorite compilation
