feat. Big Sean
[Intro: Big Sean]
(Oh) Walk up in the thing, got my campaign poppinâ
Champagne poppinâ, bad thing poppinâ
Headed to the door, and ainât a damn thing knockinâ (no)
Walk up in the thing and everybody with me mobbinâ
Campaign poppinâ, champagne poppinâ
[Verse 1: Common]
I wrote this on my born day, it was a warm day
Niggas gotta eat, we gonâ do it gourmet
Iâm hearing fuckinâ 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 frÃu00ado
Thatâs Ice Cold like Dre, triple three yo
Pinot noir style, better with time
Iâm gambling with watches getting better with time
So Iâmma ride this out for long as God allow me
They say âtime is moneyâ, forever is my salary
I shine tomorrow with what I do today
Yo, get this money, put the diamonds on display
[Hook : Big Sean]
(Oh) Walk up in the thing and got my campaign poppinâ
Champagne poppinâ, bad thing poppinâ
Headed to the door, and ainât a damn thing knockinâ (no)
Walk up in the thing and everybody with me mobbinâ
Campaign poppinâ, champagne poppinâ
Hit you with the street sweeper now you gotta get to moppinâ (no)
[Bridge: Big Sean]
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
[Verse 2: Common]
Bars in alignment, stars in alignment
Raw off consignment, Godâs in the diamonds
Evolve from the science, power and refinement
Read between the lines, hard to define us
Niggas thatâs behind us, throwing up signs to signify us
In the Benz leaning like we biased
Iâve 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
Iâm a rare diamond thatâs 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, ainât no disparity
Between peace and prosperity, so marry me diamond
[Verse 3: Big Sean]
Reminiscing when I had everything on layaway
Iâm rolling with me and my partner like it was Training Day
Way before the ballinâ that was back off in the training days
I used to hit the barber chair and say âI need that fadeawayâ
Had a crush on whatâs her name, the feelings never fade away
Older brother gang bang, banging like an 808
Said you canât take his chain away
Real player you canât take this game away
Slang away, walk up in this thing like a real Rockefeller
But you canât 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, thatâs my favorite compilation
