Make sure they know your worth
Ain't too many of us out there
One in a million
A lot of imposters gon' try to play that role like they're one of us but
We know what's up
Imagine a jewel covered in dirt
Diamond in the rough, shining for what it's worth
Jewelers want to put me in chains, I'm getting loose
Wrap me around another brother's neck like a noose, yeah
Wedding rings, watches, ear pieces and bracelets
I know what I'm worth the industry so tasteless
Even made fake versions of me call 'em rhinestones
Brought me to America, told me this was my home
From the motherland they came and took me from mine
Pressure and heat, that's how I formed overtime
The miners set a pick, swinging until I fell out
Put me in a box, ain't no way I could bail out
What they didn't tell you is I'm indestructible
Uncut, like BET after hours in '04
So no matter what they do and no matter how they spin it
I'm the man, I'm a brand and a trillion dollar business
Put your diamonds up
Get your shine on
Say put your diamonds up
And don't forget to get your shine on
Say we can tell when it's real
So everybody get your shine on
Put your diamonds up
And get your shine on
Ten times platinum I ain't trying to brag
Made man, I'm flawless when I'm in the lab
She got me wrapped around her finger I can't even cap
I'm popular amongst the women they get too attached
Marry me baby check out my clarity
You can't find me just anywhere I'm a rarity
Haters be testing me daily trying to embarrass me
Putting devices in my face, all you hear is beeps
Rihanna told me that I shine bright
So I'm out in Barbados because shorty's my type
Fourteen days I done took about nine flights
Ain't talking Roc Nation, but diamonds in the sky
We come in every color every shape
You ain't gon' recognize a diamond from its face
You got to analyze it thoroughly ain't no doubt
Fake gems say they're real but they're always falling out
Put your diamonds up
Get your shine on
Say put your diamonds up
And don't forget to get your shine on
Say we can tell when it's real
So everybody get your shine on
Put your diamonds up
And get your shine on
