Now everybody's waiting for Diamond D to slip,
But it won't happen 'cause I'm just too swift.
I got props from here to Albuquerque,
Eat your a** up like a piece of beef jerky.
Yeah, now let me start to get deep.
I sweep the creeps who try to beef and keep.
But I don't sweat it 'cause I go fat vocals,
You couldn't see me with a pair of bifocals.
I got the soul of Nat King Cole.
If I go gold, I won't front the role
And go commercial, no not me.
Never will I worry {'cause it's easy to D!}
Feet are on the ground so I can't lose my edge.
I did my homework, I didn't jump off a ledge.
And now I'm here, and no one can stop me.
I clock Gs 'cause my raps ain't sloppy.
Who would've thought that I pulled it off?
Just like a bandit and brothers can't stand it.
How the hell did Diamond D get a deal?
My rhymes are dope, and all my beats appeal
(To who?) To the vast majority.
Yeah I kick the flavor, I had to get a waiver
To go to college, back in '88.
Huh, but now I'm straight.
See, I give comfort like a Sealy Posturepedic.
My sound's profound, you can't beat it.
Even with a baseball bat (Why's that?)
'Cause I got a bag of tricks like Felix the Cat.
You heard the rumor, now you know it's true.
So go and tell your buddy that I'm not a fuddy duddy.
And if you think that I can't get busy,
Then you can step to me, word up.
Swing to the rhythm, the lights turn green.
All systems go 'cause Diamond's on the scene.
I stand strong and my arm is long,
I'm not the one that'll sing the same song.
So come along everybody if you're wit' me,
"Best Kept Secret" is the t**le that fits me.
Yeah, I'll steal a show with the quickness
And get hot like grandpa's quick grits.
There's no comparison, see I'm like Harrison
Ford, I take command and stand
Up for the funk, the gut of hip-hop.
Now Diamond's gonna rip shop.
A'yo, I get dough just like Merv Griffin.
Some don't like it and then they start riffin'.
Huh, jealousy's a m***********.
I jam like Smuckers, so don't play me like a sucker
'Cause I can flow with the best of them.
A lotta brothers twist their lips, but I suggest to them
Don't sleep 'cause I'm not the one to f*** with.
Don't even flinch 'cause I'll leave you stuck with
The knowledge that you're inferior.
Yeah, my records even sell in Nigeria.
Diggin' in the crates like a maniac
And when my song comes on, it's the same reaction,
Everyone moves their head.
Diamond is dope, 'nuff said.
I bring light to an ink pen
And leave you dead and stinkin' just like Abe Lincoln.
Yo, you won't even know what hit ya,
I'll knock you m************ out the picture.
Your self-esteem will be put in jeopardy
If you step to me.
But it won't happen 'cause I'm just too swift.
