lyrics

CH-
Dj plays your favorite track takes it back to the past
diamonds in the, diamonds in the
diamonds in the back cut quick yeah

HV1-
Hello, hello, hello, hello
hi my name is Bob
and not just a noun I’m an odd
verb be the word, smash sleep that’s my job
all slap in the back, she gone actress
I keep working it pretty, all classic
I ripple tracks so play it it’s pay back
Las Vegas mutha f***ka wolf pack
8th wonder we wandering all city
I keep kickin’ the convo is so witty
bet it, liable to get ‘em to talk slick
set it, diamonds in the back cut quick
diamonds in the, diamonds in the
diamonds in the back cut quick yeah
light headed from wrapping it tight, get it
and I ain’t really feeling ya sweetie, diabetic
bet it, laying it soft you wanna pet it
preach the type of heaters to rockit your unleaded

CH-
Dj plays your favorite track takes it back to the past
diamonds in the, diamonds in the
diamonds in the back cut quick yeah

BV1-
I guess it’s best to rise before we fall
and catch it
Way b4 ya run upon the gambit
Managing our canvas, stand a phantom with our handle on the planet.
And I guess we've changed,
from those is pursuit,
to the suited for the fortune
and our fame's in the bottle with the rest of the Lightning,
Squeez that cole in my hand till its shinin.
Tight-Grip,
pretty absurd, City go blurr
as the light speed rally round the curve
And we speak it like we James Earl Jones
If ya ain't got a voice keep ya face to the throne.
Keepin it close untill you prove what you believe,
Deep in the desert
my placebo canteen's "right here",
You start to taste it,
The air of the oasis,
E-lec-trif-ies
when ya close, feel the bass kick.
Throw ya palm trees-rally-ally-up
Yeah, ya gonna need those diamonds in ya glass hut.


HV2-
Wake up, super smooth to boost
the baddest let’s spar
talk hard wit a walk, he rock star
car thumpin, bizarre, cigar, bar crushing
young Bobbie with an attitude, spit sumpthin
reach like he reeks the reaper to run his sheep on ya
global bomb ya, follow then get immobile on ya
mogul monster, carving like a blind giant
young Carters, don’t follow just get your own style
bonzai, bombs in the sky
i’m that super fly trooper guy
looking for my do or die
bet it, liable to get ‘em to talk slick
set it, diamonds in the back cut quick

Not the type
To set my ways
That's why I always change
by daily you can find in my
Arrangement not the same
As if it were to catch the world
In all it's fleeting and I fade it
Then I celebrate myself
Untill it melts into the greatest
Of exchange of an idea
And as a vehicle and a message
And an atom interacting
With a different kind of vessel
DNA to make this last time special
As I never try to question
Just accept it as u point into the void.
