[Intro: Rapsody]

Rap Diddy and Raekwon The Chef

Salute to the Wu


[Verse 1: Rapsody]

Black diamonds sence from Muhammad, I drop

Rhyming, reminding most of what they forgot

Raya lights, so at night yelling rap don't stop

Keep on going, we gon' continue elevating our plots

Dre 3000, haters, gon' single them

Scottie Pippen, tripping, one of the best, am I not?

If you forgot, since the top, I've been listening to them hot

Rae, Jay, Toomp from Atlanta, and Dre

Wu, saluting diamonds, New York to LA

Okay, player, now you see the root of me sway

From that, I never will, culture over bills, pills

Party life, I told y'all I'm really nice like Rae

[?] I shook 'em up, jello

Spitting diamonds and pearls, I am rap, hello

For those who couldn't catch yo, the name from intro

The info remains the same, I am hot and nitro

Glistering, glistening like black diamonds

Raya light bright, huh, this is semi blinding

Binding, my name here with some of the greats

These are treasures of our time, diamonds never outdate

Black diamonds

[Hook: 9th Wonder & Raekwon]

It go black diamonds and pearls

"You could be mine, we both shine"

It go black diamonds and pearls

"You could be mine, we both shine"

It go black diamonds and pearls

What up, 9th?

(You could be mine, we both shine)

Rapsody, what's good?

It go black diamonds and pearls

Raekwon, you already know

Yeah, I got you

"You could be mine, we both shine"


[Verse 2: Raekwon]

Under the trenches, black menk on, that's red

Getting headshots, duffle bags under my legs

We breadwinners, the coalition slicker than Benzes

On my off day, paper day, play with my chemist

Bum rushing, bread, guns dumping, run from the feds

Rocking Nike boots, pencils in our hand, Nas said

We on the come up, an old school don on the run up

Take stacks of bread home and black in the summer

Real niggas know my get down, I run with my team

That pull out, let 80 out, and jump in the Beams

What it do bruh? That's my sister, give us some love

Or stay away, you might die tryna bob with these plug

I don't regret shit, veteran who vote for the real

Run around the world twice shooting dice in the buil

Them Shaolin alling, most of them wilding

(Word up) Word to mother, just respect my medallion


[Hook: 9th Wonder]

It go black diamonds and pearls

"You could be mine, we both shine"

Uh, it go black diamonds and pearls

"You could be mine, we both shine"

It go black diamonds and pearls

"You could be mine, we both shine"

It go black diamonds and pearls

"You could be mine, we both shine"
