[00:27.88]You see, I skip to my lou like Napoleon at Waterloo
[00:30.29]My name is Diamond D, tell you what I'm gonna do
[00:32.89]I dip and I dab like a Mike Tyson jab
[00:35.18]Even though there's flab, I possess the gift of gab
[00:37.72]I shoot it like a jammy and girls give the panties and
[00:40.33]Even with a fanny and I might win a Grammy and
[00:42.88]Maybe I won't, so I'll chill like the Pope
[00:45.28]See, I'll never mope 'cause I know my **** is ****
[00:47.61]Like Columbian fish scale, ask my man Ishmael
[00:50.32](Diamond D got props like a cop)
[00:52.42]Or better yet DT 'cause brothers can't see me
[00:55.31]Even your girl says you got a small wee wee
[00:57.96]Now you wanna go upside her head
[01:00.32]Do you feel intimidated by the things she said?
[01:02.85]Don't be mad 'cause I paid her back
[01:05.03](You know I) took her to the rest and I laid her back
[01:07.39](I go) on and on like popcorn with the butter
[01:10.18]A-a-a-a-yo! I used to stutter
[01:12.61]But I fall on track and some may say I'm wack and
[01:15.28]Fat, but in fact, I'm not any of that, black
[01:18.40]See, I'm the best kept secret (Yeah)
[01:20.66]So shut the **** up and peep it
[01:22.59]"Diamond D"... "Raised in Forest"
[01:25.26]"Rapper tries to diss, I crush the ************"(x4)
[01:42.52]See, I write my own rhymes, produce my own ****
[01:45.17]Yeah boy, I ain't the one to **** with (Nope)
[01:47.92]I'll take a beat and I'll flip it
[01:49.83]With so much flavor, *****s wanna sip it
[01:52.79]But that's cool 'cause they know I got skills
[01:55.22]Let me demonstrate if you will, ahem
[01:57.76]Rock is my man and so is Dapper Dan and
[02:00.35]I'll shake your hand and don't try to flam
[02:02.84]Or front like a stunt who lost her cunt
[02:04.78]I only hit grand slams, never will I bunt
[02:07.62]Bases are loaded, bottom of the ninth
[02:10.06]I step to the plate 'cause I know my **** is great
[02:12.56]I can't walk down the street
[02:14.66](A-yo Diamond, can you make me a beat?)
[02:17.43]You gotta have cheese, about a couple of G's
[02:20.29]But if I know ya, I might just throw ya
[02:22.58]A little somethin' on the side, troop
[02:24.91]A funky bassline and a hype loop
[02:27.48]I got a thousand old records in my crib
[02:30.18]I used to hustle but I never did a bid
[02:32.58]Some people call me Jo Jo, I keep a low pro
[02:35.22]Non-stop props, so act like you know, bro
[02:37.76]Pass me a mic and I'mma keep it
[02:40.23]Yeah boy, I'm the best kept secret
[02:42.72]"Diamond D"... "Raised in Forest"
[02:44.98]"Rapper tries to diss, I crush the ************"(x4)
[03:02.57]Yo, I'm deadlier than Michael Myers
[03:05.21]My style will embrace you like a pair of pliers
[03:07.47]But don't sweat it, G, why don't you let it be?
[03:10.30]'Cause Diamond D is a pedigree
[03:12.65]In other words, I'm official
[03:14.67]I'll never go out like a wet piece of tissue
[03:17.75]Ruff and rugged, stronger than Bounty
[03:20.06]New York is the city, Bronx is the county
[03:22.63]Learned from the best so the rest just fess
[03:25.09]Now I'm gettin' booked at the Fillmore West
[03:27.52]Located in the Village, so kill it, 'skillet
[03:29.86]You ask yourself, will it ever cease?
[03:33.17]'Cause Diamond's sharp as a crease
[03:35.08]I only use bees wax, I'll never use grease on my dreads
[03:37.56]But instead, if you want some kicks
[03:40.13]Step to the mic, I'm an 8 to 1 pick
[03:42.49]You reap what you sow and I can reap it
[03:44.90]Yo, I'm the best kept secret
[03:47.63]"Diamond D"... "Raised in Forest"
[03:50.13]"Rapper tries to diss, I crush the ************"(x4)
