Pains And Strife

Diamond

featuring Pete Rock Phife Dawg




[Phife]



Now in this hip hop world I happen to live in heads be bitching



It's a wonder that when the punks walk they don't be switching



Someone always got something to say and I be itching



To verbally bust their whole fucking frame I ain't kidding



Nothing wack over here moneygrip I'm always hitting



And being that my name is Phife Dawg I just be shitting



All over the track by Diamond, fuck a rumor



If you try to bite this style you might catch a brain tumor



Nowadays it's eather the Heather or cheddar, fuck the babbling



Put your money where your mouth is or there'll be no battling



Don't play yourself and get dissed by Malik, it's too embarassing



Take it straight to your face like Vin Rock, fuck the Samaritans



I'm out to get the cheddar, no deals, I ain't having it



Never to work again in my life, fuck Blake Harrington



East Coast representation, as well as West



Rub daddy speak, better listen, diggey knows best




[Diamond]



I'm swerving on MC's with these degrees



The only cheese you've seen is from promotional fees, please



I don't congregate with small timers



I leave you scratching your head like Alzheimer's



In a corner with four-timers smoking pretty women



With this city rhythm I get witty with them



Big D a.k.a. Ben Grin, I send men defending



You run home and then send



Your whole team back, scoped out I lean back



Focused on greenbacks, niggas want to see me in green slacks



Upstate doing a bid



But I got plans reclined at the Sands



With my team, in the name of cream



Sipping on Jim Beam, still scoped your scheme



It seems to me, it's obvious, it seems to be jealousy



Fuck it if it means the beat
