I met Diamond D at the Kanye show the other night, so why not post the legend’s 1992 single.

[Hook]
Sally got a one track mind
It doesn’t matter if it’s yours or mine
Cause if ya getting dough and you wanna get with her
Yeah (YOU CAN HIT HER!)

[Verse 1]
I knew a girl named Sally who’s tastes were exquisite
Saks Fifth Avenue, bad made or is it?
When she was a child, her parents had money
She was spoiled rotten, and how things has gotten
Worse, she’s a professional (uhh!)
She’ll start to switch if her palms begin to itch
I watched her grow into a neighborhood ho
Ran around town with every Tom, Dick, and Joe
Quite amusing, but little did she know
That word got around that Sally was down
Sweet 16 but she looked 21
If the price was right, she’ll be twice as nice
Dissed her friends for a man in a Benz
Then he cuts you off when he hits the skins
Now you got another one, he drives a Beamer
Wake up girl, don’t be a day dreamer

(Chorus)
Boom it and you boom it and you boom it in your jeep
Type of s–t that hit when you pump it in your trunk
Boom it and you boom it and you boom it in your jeep
Babum, babum, make the speakers pop

I’m as bad, bad as Leroy Brown, Brown
I’m a pro p-pro, but not a noun n-noun
If you got beef, beef, you get ground, ground
Cut up in soul, soul by the pound for pound
I’m going downtown like Julie Brown, I’m the brown mound
Not a rebound, but like a hound, I get down
Never wore a leash but I’m a show ya
How loose is my goose, got more soul than combat boots
(I got soul, you got it) That’s why I came
They keep calling me, man, they keep calling me, they call my name
And say, I can’t give it away, give it away now
Or say whiz, say what or say how
Sh, ok, between you and me, man it’s all this white rap
I got the power, hachoo, I’ll just bite snap
Bum ba-bum, bum bum
Think fast, cause I’m the Ramadan
Ahoy-he-hoy-he, I’m Fat Boy
Shibidabibidabee, boom boom, I’ll be the bad boy
Having a party, but I’m not a democrat
Spoiled as a child, but now I’m milk like Similac
Don’t have Cinemax because my cable’s pirated
Bug out with the rhyme, try to swat and I’ll get fly with it
For pest control, I suggest some soul
For a d–k I got it, but I have no breath control
So gimme a T-O, baby like um, Chris Webber
I got myself together
Now I’m straight, are you straight, if you straight, then I’m straight
Rock me tonight, just for old time’s sake

Yeah, gotta say what’s up to my n—a Slick Rick
For those who don’t like it, eat a d–k
But for those who with me, sing that s–t
As it go a little something like this

La Di Da Di, we likes to party
We don’t cause trouble, we don’t bother nobody
We’re, just some n—az who’re on the mic
And when we rock up on the mic we rock the mic (right)
For all my Doggs keepin y’all in health
Just to see you smile and enjoy yourself
Cuz it’s cool when ya cause a cozy conditioning
Which we create, cuz that’s our mission
So listen close, to what we say
Because this types of shit happens every-day
I woke up around 10 o’clock in the mornin
I gave myself a stretch up, a mornin yawn and
went to the bathroom to wash up
I threw some soap on my face and put my hands up on a cup
and said um “Mirror mirror, on, the wall
Who is the top Dogg of them all?”
There was a rubble dubble, five minutes it lasted
The mirror said, “You are you conceited bastard”
Well that’s true, that’s why we never have no beef
So I slipped off my khakis and my gold leaf
Used Oil of Olay, cause my skin gets pale
And then I got the file, for my fingernails

Check me out y’all, Nasty Nas in your area
About to cause mass hysteria

[Nas]
Before a blunt, I take out my fronts
Then I start to front, matter of fact, I be on a manhunt
You couldn’t catch me in the streets without a ton of reefer
That’s like Malcolm X, catchin the Jungle Fever
King poetic, too much flavor, I’m major
Atlanta ain’t Brave-r, I’ll pull a number like a pager
Cause I’m am ace when I face the bass
40-side is the place that is giving me grace
Now wait, another dose and you might be dead
And I’m a Nike head, I wear chains that excite the feds
And ain’t a damn thing gonna change
I’ma performer (?) show the mic warmer was born to gain
Nas, why did you do it?
You know you got the mad fat fluid when you rhyme, it’s halftime

(Right..) It’s halftime
(Right..) Aiyyo it’s halftime
(Right..) It’s halftime
(Right..) Yeah, it’s about halftime
This is how it feel, check it out, how it feel
