Diamond District - You Had To Be There lyrics
rate me(Verse: Oddisee)
Beats out the DC, peace out the NY
Preach out the worldwide, sound from the bottom of the rap bot
D3CPPO left for colored people
You need to know, on my vial never lie-oh, I swear it on the Bible
But if you got a Qu'ran handy, then 'ya salam' ('how fantastic')
I walk upon this earth strong, you heard wrong if otherwise
The man listen to em other guys, yo
Lemme kick another round, lemme make another mind think besides mine
I feel one other pat at one time
Just good to be reminded I ain't numb
And I'm a part of the plan, XO is part of the plan
yU is part of the plan, Diamond District is a part of the plan, so understand that
DC is the county and DC is the place
Take off the shoes cuz you can't run the race
(Hook)
Diamond District, we had it poppin'
(You had to be there)
And all the words to our songs, you was rockin'
(You had to be there)
Folks lyin' outside just to see us
(You had to be there)
What is comin' up next ?
(You had to be there)
Every time, let em know where we from
Oh, you ain't even come?! Well, I guess uh
(You had to be there)
That fo' sure countin' dolla bills fold
(You had to be there)
You ain't know by now, now you know
(You had to be there)
(Verse 2: XO)
The world's in the palm of your hands
Pain is a part of the plan
Thought about it walkin' down 14th street
Live at concert, one of the cheap seats
If you won't tell yo, I won't tell, yo
2 XA yo, new my way home
More soldiers, you know they had to kill some
Remember us? The ones ya got the real from?
The endless truth be told
Let me know what ya good to go
Took the capital but wouldn't let the masses to
Had a few different manual for attitude
Man that do, this what makes us compatible
If I was there, eye ? got the Grammys too
Shame on the liquor for tryna run game on the liquor
Watch out the change on a nigga
(Hook)
Diamond District, we had it poppin'
(You had to be there)
And all the words to our songs, you was rockin'
(You had to be there)
Folks lyin' outside just to see us
(You had to be there)
What is comin' up next ?
(You had to be there)
Every time, let em know where we from
Oh, you ain't even come?! Well, I guess uh
(You had to be there)
That fo' sure countin' dolla bills fold
(You had to be there)
You ain't know by now, now you know
(You had to be there)
(Verse 3: yU)
Do I hold my own weight?
Does a fat boy love chocolate cake?
The sprinklers on top and a styrofoam blade
I fell for debate becuz I could not wait to chase
Whatever's better than the bottom of it
Seal the deal for real cuz I do not pretense
Slim the gym, you win one, come get some
They'll prolly move yo body till yo hips numb
They say you win some, you lose some, this wisdom
I get from the jet ones(?) who been done
That since young
Sittin' in the chance to this chair
Chill, for smooth (?) fit as true
Thing decline, now I'm livin' proof
Lies are new so the new truth I quip
This fo' real, ain't time for the stupid shit
Speakin' of which, my watch set is about that
This bitch connected the feature to a wild rap
(Hook)
Diamond District, we had it poppin'
(You had to be there)
And all the words to our songs, you was rockin'
(You had to be there)
Folks lyin' outside just to see us
(You had to be there)
What is comin' up next ?
(You had to be there)
Every time, let em know where we from
Oh, you ain't even come?! Well, I guess uh
(You had to be there)
That fo' sure countin' dolla bills fold
(You had to be there)
You ain't know by now, now you know
(You had to be there)
