on the couch. on the floor. on the bed
here we go.now congratulate me!
starts out with a pipe dream
white tee and an ice cream
had to make moves on faith
trying to put food on plate
dropped a couple jewels on tape
she showing up with that plus one
while i pen this acceptance speech
do you see what it took? is it clearer?
who you see when you look in the mirror?
all the dreams and fantasies that come together
i'll be shining like the diamond that's forever
now this is the moment i've been waiting for my whole life
didn't believe it til i seen it with my own eyes
imma need a black tux and a bow tie
double cup white chucks and a strobe light
niggas had bad luck when they roll dice
the numbers add up and they don't lie
my bread butter on both sides
take it to the champagne from the morvite
it's all coming back to me
think back to my old days
all i wanted was a gold chain
now we all household names
what you know about sacrifice
rites of passage to bragging rights?
and this ain't time to be camera shy
my one homie got a gun in the cupboard
my other homie got a bun in the oven
baby mama getting big in the stomach
pop champagne on the four cousins
i think it's time to be a man now
i feel like moving to my gran's house
everybody lined up for a handout
really i just wanna make my old man proud
do you see what it took? is it clearer?
who you see when you look in the mirror?
all the dreams and fantasies that come together
i'll be shining like the diamond that's forever
