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 ass 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" -> Run-DMC

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 G's 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 with me

"Best Kept Secret" is the title 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

Ayo I get dough just like Merv Griffin

Some don't like it, and then they start riffin

Huh, jealousy's a motherfucker

I jam like Smucker's 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 fuck 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 knock you motherfuckers out the picture

Your self-esteem will be put in jeapordy

If you step to me
