Lyrics Robin Thicke

Robin Thicke

Diamonds

[The Game:]

This song is dedicated to all the mammas.

All the beautiful women.

No matter what color.

My mamma Marie... Robin's mom Gloria

Yeah we see you shinin' (we see you shinin)

You all diamonds (we see you shinin)

We love you (Like a diamond)

[Robin:]

Like a butterfly, you made your way out to the shell

Oo, Like and angel, you finally got your wings

And all of the promises you made yourself

Are finally taking shape

You can only hold something so beautiful down so long

Until it finds the light of day

[Chorus:]

Pressure builds diamonds (Aretha)

Shining so (Kiesha) bright for you to see (Paula)

Pressure (Beyonce) builds diamonds (Mary)

Sparkling (Halle) for everyone to see (Oprah)

Pressure (Rihanna) builds diamonds (Latifah)

Shinin' (Michelle Obama) so bright

[The Game:]

Uh, Picture a cold winter

Me, you , middle women hat and dinner

Philipe Childs a mister

Its the Robin Hood and the plot gets thicker

I know you think I'm bout my girl

My mamma, my unborn daughter, my world

but daddy used to beat you harder than the five barrels

He left you in the ocean and you came back a pearl

He put you through hell, I put you in diamonds

Forget about that nigga, we dont need him Mamma!

I know your only son was drama

You wanted Obama but he was Osama

On the block in its suicide bomber

Then I got shot and went to jail comma

If that aint karma, me and my girl lost a baby in the womb

and it changed my armor

[Chorus:]

Pressure builds diamonds (Aretha) Shining so (Kiesha) bright for you to see (Paula) Pressure (Beyonce) builds diamonds (Mary) Sparkling (Halle) for everyone to see (Oprah) Pressure (Rihanna) builds diamonds (Latifah) Shinin' (Michelle Obama) so bright

All the ladies in the back (I see you shinin)

All the girls in the front (I see you shinin)

Everybody with ya diamonds (I see ya shinin)

Yeah keep on shinin, yeah keep on (Like a diamond girl)

All the women across the world (I see ya shinin)

Especially my girl (keep shinin girl)

[Vamp:]

Just like the ocean makes the pearl

Pressure builds diamonds

(diamonds... pressure builds diamonds...)

You can only hold something so beautiful down so long

'Til it finds the light of day

[Chorus:]

Pressure builds diamonds (Aretha) Shining so (Kiesha) bright for you to see (Paula) Pressure (Beyonce) builds diamonds (Mary) Sparkling (Halle) for everyone to see (Oprah) Pressure (Rihanna)

~Pressure builds diamonds (Aretha) Shining so (Kiesha) bright for you to see (Paula) Pressure (Beyonce) builds diamonds (Mary) Sparkling (Halle) for everyone to see (Oprah) Pressure (Rihanna)builds diamonds (Latifah)I see you shining baby (Michelle Obama) I see you shining baby, diamonds, I see you shining baby, diamonds, Like a diamond baby, diamonds, I see you shining baby, diamonds, I see you shining baby, diamonds
