Lyrics Going Diamond - B.o.B

Going Diamond

About four years ago while I was on the grind
Everybody was telling me I was just wasting my time
But then about two weeks ago my n**ga I got signed
So I had to leave Columbia without saying goodbye
And now I’m finishing my album up while at the same time catching up on algebra
Everybody where’s Bobby ???
But I ain’t round now, I’m in California
But I still rep the ??
where it’s greater
Born in North Carolina, raised up like a razor
Sharp enough to turn some player haters to a plate of taters
I ain’t fucking with y’all, I’m trying to fuck in my Mercedes
Benz, blowing on they grinch, I’m gone in the wind
Everybody popping up, they trying to be my friend
Playing that pretend, so I just pretend
That I don’t even seem em', so to me they don’t exist
Peace
But no, I ain’t gone Hollywood
I’m still in the hood and I blow a lot of good
And when I’m out I don’t roll without my buds
My buddy and my slut and the best, best buds
Gotta get a ???
just to roll it up
So If you in the need baby come on take a puff
Come and stay with us if you wanna make a fuss
In the middle of the night tell ya boyfriend hush (DAMN)
But no don’t take it personal
You so bad when you move with earth my soul
And this nigga wanna hop and just ???
But be careful, this thing it’ll hurt you fool
Oh yes yes I’m a beast and now I hunt ya sleep to put it honestly
I’m like a monster at lunching season (HEY)
And the game is my prey and I’m munching people
I’m going 20 times gold out the gate
Cause the game is a hoe and I’m holding her waist
I’m holding her tight so she know when to sway
When I’m holding a mic they won’t know what to say
I got what you need like a bowl of chilly
And my flows stone cold like I froze it in a tray
In the middle of the ocean, I’m floating away
That’s why they call me B.O.B
I ain’t really in this for the Benjamins and dough
I’m just trying to get me a percentage of the globe
And when I’m done with it, man I’m finished, I’ma ghost
I’m just trying to put the truth in your earlobes
So be easy, but the bitterness away
Cause I’m critically acclaimed and I’m clinically insane
I’m finna get up in it, I ain’t finna hesitate
Like a n**ga on the building finna take his life away
But I don’t want to die, I just want to ride
Off a ???, that’s where I reside
This is where the struggle is and this is why we strive to breathe
Pinching pennies to make ends meet day and night
Even though this ain’t no paradise, n**gas carry knives or a pair of nines to
make sure they still survive
We just trying to make it out to see a better life
But they call us thugs cause' the sun never ever shines
So if you know what I’m talking about and you really feel me
We puffin killa killas, so we got us feeling silly
That’s why I’m repping for my town and my city
Cause when you from the hood they treat you like you no good
That’s why I got all the brother calling me
I spit that real shit, and yes it’s quality
If you don’t like it dawg, my apologies
But nobody saying nothing back when I ain’t had nothing
Now ever single body trying to get up on my
But I tell em get to stepping while I’m stepping
I was broke but now I’m kind of riding like a
Cause the east side in Dakota’s where I’m repping
Yeah, I got the crack you scratch and sniff and then you get addicted
I got that shit, It’ll have you sick, and no you can not fix it
I’m about to drop some classic hits so I’ma snatch the hitlist
So put your aprons on cause it’s hazardous to listen
I ain’t really into making baller music
Cause I was never balling
