Going Diamond - B.o.B

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
