[Intro: The Game, Robin Thicke]
This here is dedicated to all the mamas
All the beautiful women, no matter what color
My mama Marie, Robin's mom Gloria (We see you shinin')
Yeah, we see you shinin' (We see you shinin')
You all diamonds (We see you shinin')
And we love you, yeah, yeah (Like a diamond)
[Verse 1: Robin Thicke]
Like a butterfly, you made your way out of the shell
Ooh, like an 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
'Til it finds the light of day, oh yeah, yeah
[Chorus: Robin Thicke]
Pressure builds diamonds (Aretha)
Shining so bright (Keyshia) for you to see (Paula)
Pressure (Beyoncé) builds diamonds (Mary)
Sparkling (Halle) for everyone to see (Oprah)
Pressure (Rihanna) builds diamonds (Latifah)
Shinin' (Michelle Obama) so bright
[Verse 2: The Game]
Uh, picture a cold winter
Me, you, middle of Manhattan, dinner
Philippe Chow's or Mister
It's the Robin Hood and the plot gets thicker
I know you think I'm talkin' 'bout my girl
My mama, my unborn daughter, my world
But daddy used to beat you harder than the five boroughs
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 don't need him, mama
I know your only son was drama
You wanted Obama but he was Osama
On the block in his suicide bomber
Then I got shot and went to jail, comma
If that ain't karma
Me and my girl lost a baby in the womb and it chinked my armor
[Chorus: Robin Thicke]
Pressure builds diamonds (Aretha)
Shining so bright (Keyshia) for you to see (Paula)
Pressure (Beyoncé) builds diamonds (Mary)
Sparkling (Halle) for everyone to see (Oprah)
Pressure (Rihanna) builds diamonds (Latifah)
Shinin' (Michelle Obama) so bright
[Bridge: Robin Thicke, The Game]
All the ladies in the back (I see you shinin')
All the girls in the front (I see you shinin')
Everybody with your diamonds (I see you shinin')
Yeah, keep on shinin'; yeah, keep on (Like a diamond)
All the women across the world (I see you shinin')
Especially my girl (Keep shinin')
Just like the ocean makes the pearl
Pressure builds diamonds
(Diamonds, diamonds, diamonds, diamonds)
(Diamonds, diamonds, diamonds, pressure builds diamonds)
(Diamonds, diamonds, diamonds, diamonds)
(Diamonds, diamonds, diamonds, diamonds)
You can only hold something so beautiful down so long
'Til it finds the light of day
[Chorus: Robin Thicke]
Pressure builds diamonds (Aretha)
Shining so bright (Keyshia) for you to see (Paula)
Pressure (Beyoncé) builds diamonds (Mary)
Sparkling (Halle) for everyone to see (Oprah)
[Outro: Robin Thicke, The Game]
Pressure (Rihanna) builds diamonds (Aretha)
Shining so bright (Keyshia) for you to see (Paula)
Pressure (Beyoncé) builds diamonds (Mary)
Sparkling (Halle) for everyone to see (Oprah)
Pressure (Rihanna) builds diamonds (Latifah)
(I see you shinin', baby)
Michelle Obama (I see you shinin', baby)
I see you shinin', baby; like a diamond, baby
I see you shinin', baby
I see you shinin', baby
