Family and Loyalty (Instrumental)

Guru flows forever like a diamond

The most could never afford the precious jewels

That's precisely why I'm blessin' you with clear-cut messages

I'm destined to invest in urban sections where depression rules

I hope to heal the destitute before I leave this vestibule

Between the heavens and the seven circles

Where some dead homies maybe rest, I plan to resurrect a few

I press the truth against the naked devils

Look at the youth just like a precious pebble

Meant to be protected, mentally we let this

Poison of Western philosophy make it sloppy

We forgot we are the chosen

From hip-hop to astronomy, they copy what we showed them

Niggas be talkin' slick, but only try me over modems

In person they starstruck, they hearts flutter

I'm like the realest one you ever met

If you don't feel this one, give it a sec'

Go live a little, let the years pass

Experience pain, watch the tears crash on to the floor

Hurt brings wisdom

Wisdom brings a whole 'nother sort of understandin'

Diamonds only worth what we demandin', uh, uh

And niggas payin' top-dollar

Once upon a time I paid a 100 for mine, now I'm a lot smarter

Diamonds are forever like family and loyalty

Or real rap songs like C.R.E.A.M. or My Melody

Diamonds are forever like my infinite thought

Like respect in the hood that can't be bought

Diamonds are forever like family and loyalty

Or real rap songs like C.R.E.A.M. or My Melody

Diamonds are forever like my infinite thought

Like respect in the hood that can't be bought

I rock diamonds that cut glass out of window panes

Baldhead Slick blazing tracks when the indo's flame

Rocks that bling, rocks that make them jock my team

Rocks that shine, rocks that keep my hand on my nine

Rocks that blind, make the High Rocks drop down

One of a kind, niggas best jet from the spot when I cock mine

Diamonds are like your man you always call fam'

Diamonds are like your grandma you always call ma'am

Diamonds are like having the whole world in your hand

Diamonds are like the shows I ripped with no band

Rockin' your knot, stoppin' your plot

It's me, Baldhead Slick Duke, coppin' your block

For you it's only pain, for me it's only gain

Diamonds are like loyalty, iced out like royalty

Diamonds are like my wifey, so sweet the way she spoils me

(So good)

Diamonds are forever like family and loyalty

Or real rap songs like C.R.E.A.M. or My Melody

Diamonds are forever like my infinite thought

Like respect in the hood that can't be bought

Diamonds are forever like family and loyalty

Or real rap songs like C.R.E.A.M. or My Melody

Diamonds are forever like my infinite thought

Like respect in the hood that can't be bought

Word up, diamonds

(Like a freshly cut diamond)
